prisms and holy partaking

So the other day (In fact, the same day as I wrote about in the "sentimental sunsets" entry, same walk.), I was encountered with this man. Viewing him, through the end of a tunnel gloomy, in the dark of just past sunset, I was actually quite scared. Well, it looked like an elderly woman at first, I was actually quite taken aback when I discovered it was in fact his chubby young man. When he hailed me so ostentatiously with a hearty "Morjens!", I was prepared for the worst.

He asked me this question, this most bizarre question, "Do you want to partake in Jesus?"... I thought to myself; Pssht, yeah, you'd like that, wouldn't you, you fat pervert greaseball... 

I declined, of course. He insisted, saying it would only take a minute, and relieve me of all my sins and soforth. It would be fun. I kinda regret it now afterwards... I mean, it wasn't just some old perv, it was the Jesus man of Jeppis.

It kind of set me thinking, though... Exactly what part of Jesus will he help me partake of? *giggles*

No, seriously, I told him I'm an Atheist and said I'll damn well go read the bible if I'm looking for christian guidance, this prick has no holy authority. Nobody does, and I resent the Christian churches for so elevating these normal people to positions such as popes, bishops or priests. They're no closer to God, if there is one, than any other believer. The characters of the bible arent literal anyway, they're figures in ethic education. These damn keys to heaven that you keep hearing about, especially now as of late, that's just the commercial part of Christianity. Just a tool, bestowed like a burden but wielded as some mind controlling device. Who is the pope to tell me what to believe?

Oh, religion. You're not my favourite thing. I came to think that this prism here, this diamond thing, its religion. It is.

It warps the gaze. Many a man can look upon it, everyone will see it, yet everyone will view it differently. The picture seen warps along with the angle of view, yet the object always remains the same. What this object is, thats the real question. Is it buddha, the trinity, brahma, all and none of them at the same time.

In science, pictures inside diamonds are called virtual. They are a matter of circumstance, created by the warping of light. In the same way, spiritual belief is vague, it varies depending on the point of view. Your God is just as true as anyone elses God. Another name, perhaps, thats the warped and virtual picture, yet the object warpeth the light remains the very same.

Then the questions remains to be asked, what is this object? Is it a godly entity, or just mans ultimate desire for security in afterlife? I know not. It could be either, or neither. Whatever the case, it's incomprehensible to us. Truly, in the end, we have no way of knowing. The one thing I will know for sure is, that no one else knows, either. Thats why I will not listen to some fat mans preaching about dogmatic Christianity, and simply write myself off as an atheist instead.

with big spaghetti comes great confidence

I think it was Voltaire who said that. Or something along those lines, atleast. Can't be bothered with no pesky details, can we now?


First and foremost, SPAGHETTI

Because this is my blog, and I can.

Yes, those are sausages, impaled on spaghetti sticks. I saw someone on the internet do it, so I figured, why the fark not? I'm not going to write some giant cooking 101 here, it's not the time nor the place, but just chop some sausages, stick a bunch of spaghetti in it, add salt and cook for like ten minutes (Lid on ;) ). When done, sprinkle some black pepper on it, and serve with ketchup. Simple. Delicious. Having written a recipe, I am now officially multitalented.

As I said, I nicked this off some internet thing... That brings me to something else I've wanted to talk about for a while now. Confidence. As portrayed online.

I'm not talking about keyboard-warriors, or whatever. I frequent this internet forum (Yes, I'm one of those people.), and it's full of sad individuals never to touch a titty or grab an arse. Loners, in short. There was this thread, oh, and thats what I'm going to rant about here, this thread, where people were whining about girls dating jerks. I guess, this entry could serve as a response to that thread, rather than be just another science and art entry. It also came up while chatting with some friends, so I figured it must be interesting.

So anyway, you often hear sad men say idiotic things like "Nice guys finish last", or "She's not interested because I'm too shy/not confident", or "I'm seriously too nice for her". What, the hell, guys. This misconception, it just never bears truth. Ever, and you cant keep thinking this way.

First off, saying she dissed your for a jerk is just you guys making yourselves look like complete tools by projecting your romantic failures on innocent women, who you've simply failed to woo. God, you can't have everything you want, because love is a team sport.

Second, arrogance and confidence are not to be confused. What defines a Jerk is to be arrogant. Confidence has nothing to do with that. Confidence comes from within, whereas arrogance is stolen pride. As a continuation on that, girls dont fucking like mean guys. Get your head straight, no one likes a jerk.

Third, yes, you're right. You might be too shy. She might say yes, if only you asked. But this is the confidence part. Shyness isnt actually the problem, lack of confidence that causes you to feel shy, is. Being shy in itself isnt a problem, Introverts go just as far in life as extroverts. But people who are not confident in themselves? erh.

Yes, this is a full on rant about insecurity.

Face it. No one wants to agree with a person who won't stand up for himself. No one wants to have a discussion with a person, who would rather just listen. No one thinks its beautiful to be insecure. No one will respect a man who will not say no. I realize this is harsh and somewhat narrow-minded, but that's just how it is.

Seriously, even if you dont feel confident, act confident. Much rather that, than be insecure. With one comes pity, the other respect. What I'll point out, though, is that humbleness is not the antithesis of confidence. Confidence without humbleness isn't cool, but neither is humbleness without confidence. To be socially healthy, you need a good bit of both.

Confidence is not about getting into relationships, it defines what people see in you. Your boss, co-worker, teacher, classmate, family, brother, sister, child, friend or foe. Its never about just getting the girl.

Quite enough writing for today, I think. I figured I would just go out of my way and post a picture of spaghetti for once, though that kind of escalated :P Anyhow, as a disclaimer, I'll just say that I do not consider myself a role-model. Ill admit, I never read the manual for women or some relationship 101, and I have no divine insight into the minds of women. God knows, fact is that most readers probably have more experience than I. I think people view me as a rather confident guy, arrogant even, maybe I dont know anything about being insecure, but I've had my lows, and I've been down, but it got better. I got better.

If you feel to disagree with me, as always, voice up.

sans empathy

Proper art, fuck yeahh. It really has been a while. I found out something quite profound about younglings the other day, and it really gave "Too young to understand" quite a twist...

So apparently, humans are the only animal species capable of comprehending the fact that other people, or organisms, have minds, just like ourselves. This means, that other animals think their friends know, or dont know, exactly the same things as they, therefore, among other animals, there is no such thing is a question, because that would be superfluous. An animal cannot comprehend that other animals know things that they dont, or that they know things that others dont.

Quite interesting, indeed. But what this also must implicate, is that our sense of empathy must be unique to humans. While there is a right and wrong among primitive animals, theres no such thing as feeling sorry for someone else, because to them, only their own feelings exist. This sets us apart from animals, its what makes us human. Comprehension of the knowledge of others and this supreme social conscience have been key in mans ascension as rulers on earth, I believe. 

What was also said in that source, was that humans generally dont develop these insights before the age of 4. Hence, the baby holding the rifle. It would shoot to kill, and simply not give a damn, because it doesnt comprehend the fact that others, too, have feelings.

At long last, I managed to scrape up some proper material! Took me long enough. hiya facebookers, subscribe! And do leave comments, too! I have no ability to judge my own writing, feedback is paramount to improvement!
