and the old adages are targets for the all too moralistic (popular) modern humor like southpark (which starts to take itself more & more seriously like naturist novelists ended up doing). For saying this i will be called OLD . But i was brought up only by what i was born with (a fully functioning entity) and it’s empiric research into this momentary reality. The -old and young- people thus talk about is an illusion of what is hip or “whatever”.
But having said this; the masses (= whoever poses as victor’s (mirage-)morality) will keep growing larger just as the true individuals will keep getting stronger. In short i believe this compulsion of bad-news-love (which will soon turn to fake-good news (obama,….)) will overtake all of nature’s outward (neutral) appearance but it’s within (which all honest beings, entities share) will create for itself new outward natures, like a more extra(beyond)-opinionated form of communication. Be OLD it doesn’t include bitterness it is what they invented the word for, mature in thinking (old-soul), so your young (used to mean adventurous) -self can freely enjoy ever higher & more detatched (forgot how to spell) levels. Always remember “insanity” is a western neuroticism which leads to … neuroticism, just like all other words stripped down to singular (“feminine”) (soon to be non-)meanings designed by and for those who despise MMMMMMIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNDDDDDDD.

An apt note to end this very nietzschean (whom i know was never crazy & sounded alot like that last part, or any healthy modern person) divertissement on.

]]>America is now full of hope. Hope appears to be positive but fame (which is a more “masculine”, and thus outdated hope) is no longer percieved as such. It will not be long before people are faced with the fact that “femine” (more universal, species centered) hopes are equally distortions of nature and illusion. I feel that relaxing, which i take as akin to meditation, is empowering (as opposed to “chilling out”). This relaxing, as i practice and experience it (i.e.; listening to “the now”), is quite devoid of an opinion about something. Kinda like your philosophy that “useless things” is a misnomer it quietly strips things from what they are not and leaves them tranquilized as cold thoughts. Words to music is very similar to this, even if people try desperately to make it say a tunnelVISION the fact that it is music will always seperate it from our own being and thereby already offer two VIEWS.
The thing is dichotomy is good for putting things on ‘em shelves & the bad labels are abundant. Meditating or thinking is not popular & the lack of labeling (not that this would be good) of good stuff requires input from the spectator. To me this is proof that only those things which are truely “good” exist the rest are illusions that ‘exist’ only by negating what is real. We strive to exist but the illusions tell people that their feelings of love and belief ( i’m using these in the very metaphysical,subjective sense)
cannot find fertile soil. To liken the attraction to bad news to animals is to materialistic a science (it’s treating animals as either (vulture or) predator (and not herbivore for instance) which does not suit any animal). It is a knee-jerk reaction in a growingly degressing (i wouldn’t use the metaphor of childlike here) peer pressure society to first be ‘tickled’ by the bad-news-tease then to become masochistic with this experience. Thru identification disguised as rejection (which happens thru projection)
people come to believe they experience pleasure thru seeing for example someone being punched or whatever boring thingymadching (For this is the endresult, it brings forth an over-sensitive species which sees threats in acts that can never hurt what it truely is, the energies of “love” “belief”, and whatever you in your case feel so strong about). A viscious circle (of supply and demand, the blind leading….) is decimating the “soul” , called (mesmerizing thru) media/ having “friends” on the internet,…. . But saying this all i really wrote here (that is’nt that bothersome diagnozing-a-virus)is better summed up by people being genuinely thankfull and respectfull to eachother or having a meta-blog (of fun) like you did here
I am almost Thirty but always devoted to being “good”. Personally i think the age difference (in selfrestraint) is a mixture of a difference in number and the strange modern times
]]>And I am grateful for your visit and writings on Totally Useless, as it really was a good example of what I was trying to convey in the post – people being drawn to the negative stuff in life, and yearning for it.
Thank you MBMM for your participation in this post, and I loved the ‘fresh wind” so much needed in here together with the wisdom you shared 
My deepest respect for your abilities and knowledge, and you seem to be one of the older souls yourself my friend, and hope to see you again soon 
In regards to Robert UK: From what I gathered (and I’ll get straight to the point) you’re trying to say that a personal philosophy can’t be personal. Now don’t tell me that you don’t see the semantical fallacy in that one. If its personal then its personal! The word philosophy is not a synonym for truth. There for it can be personal especially if it is described as so. I agree that truth cannot be personal, but ya poor dude….within all your efforts to be smart your combining the two premises into one big illogical mess.
In regards to Bryson: Bryson you get the honor of being wrong twice. Read “In regards to Robert UK” above for discovering your first leap from logic. Secondly Robert was being redundant by stating the phrase “absolute truth”. Truth IS absolute…that is the intrinsic value of truth regardless of the context. Truths are hard to come by thats for sure, but they do exist. Take for example…”I think therefore I am”. Now you may be saying “well that is a personal truth”. Not at all my friend. If I know I exist in some fashion it doesn’t matter if no one else exists. If I’m the only thing that exists then my statement is an absolute truth. If I’m not the only thing that exists then anything that does exist exists along with me. There can’t be two things that exist without them existing with each other. Therefore the statement “I think therefore I am” applies to everything that exists and hence is an absolute truth. “What is true for the group is true for the individual” And vice versa.
In addition to Bryson: Your response to the main question was completely erratic. You said “we look to the negative because being content leads nowhere”. Wow. That doesn’t really answer the question. If we are content why would we be so infatuated with the negative or anything else for that matter. Looking at the rest of what you said I could easily sit here and pick apart everything you’ve mentioned but my goal isn’t to put you down (even though my criticism is a bit rough) but rather to give you something to think about. Blogs, along with other forms of interaction, are a means of communication. We don’t participate in them as a means for boosting some kind of revolutionary ego trip. Interacting with others is experience that brings forth knowledge and growth. To call that “purposeless” is just you showing your own negative colors. And for crying out loud why would you wish misery on anyone. I really hope you have the nerve to respond.
As for my friend who posted the Question:
Excellent question. I really enjoyed replying to you. I answered to the best of my ability. Kudos to those who replied and gave their opinion with integrity and “Positivity”. Maybe Bryson is the very type of person that we’re talking about here. He’s drawn towards this negativity. Glad we could have a real life example amid the very discussion.
Peace All.
