untitled note | 22 August 2020 | “Picking Our Tragedies & Our Triumphs”

This has been a pretty enlightening experience in relation to figuring out my multiple personalities

Every person is a universe

Sometimes it’s necessary to submit ourselves to the great minds of the past. Sometimes one must challenge those same great minds, and in doing so, join their ranks.

The world is full of signs, but sometimes they are meant for someone else

Names are such a human construct

Discipline is only successful when the discipliner is respected by the disciplined, and vice-versa. If this is not the case, the necessary and enlightening nature of discipline turns into one of subjugation and

I guess I’m trying to create an unbreakable perspective of reality; of truth.

Does a perspective stop being a perspective once it matches/is equivalent to the truth?

Life is about picking our tragedies and our triumphs

The universe answers every question. We just often don’t understand, or pretend we didn’t hear anything since we didn’t like the answer. Sometimes we’re angry at the answer, for it came from a hard lesson.

Morality should not be a political debate, but a discussion for philosophers. We don’t ask the opinion of proper medical procedures from the common person, but from doctors. Let the experts create a good and great construct of society.

Life is worth it. If you disagree, you might not be living your life.

God has been generous enough to take on the burden of condemnation, so why do so many continue performing an unnecessary task, in an infinitely inferior capacity to its true master?

No amount of education, knowledge, or wisdom can overcome the infinite capacity of humanity’s stupidity

Existence is morality. To exist is to be correct. If two things cannot exist together, the one that overcomes the other is “good,” no matter the subject matter of the conflict.

The main difference between jake/me and Ben/Alex is that Ben/Alex chose the joys, comforts, and struggles of a normal life, whereas Jake and I chose an unachievable goal

I fundamentally disagree with those who believe the body and physical are inherently evil.

I fall into the trap of arrogance far too often

Running 100 miles seems like a lot until you realize you have a billion more to go.

Panic is the crutch for a weak mind

How can I focus on myself when there are literal genocides happening throughout the world?

If there is anything that I truly hate, it’s those who, when they are faced with a challenge, their only thought is to run backwards and hide in the comfortable and familiar, rather than overcoming the challenge to progress beyond it.

If there is a second thing I hate, it is arrogant and confident stupidity.

The world’s music is as diverse as its food. Access to so many different flavors of music from around the world is incredible.

I will face my daily challenges, but if I try to take on all of the world at once, then I will surely fail. Learn to choose your battles, and let others handle theirs. Help if you can, but don’t forget your own responsibilities.

Strength in defense is morally correct. An instigator is in the wrong.
