People stuck in "sperm mode" * 3
    #19031917 - 10/25/13 04:21 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

i feel as though many people are stuck in what I have dubbed "sperm mode." these people see life as one big competition. they are constantly chasing the "egg." the egg takes many forms to them (material goods,appearance,money,status) much of todays younger generation is spinning their tires in this mindframe. terms such as "fail" "winning" are great examples if this sperm-like outlook.

these sperm-people have failed to understand one universal truth, a beautifully all encompassing truth: life is the reward!!! we all made it! sure we used to be in competition with the other sperm, but we ALL WON! we all made it to the promise land. i wish people would shed their tails and become the humans that they are. proud,divine,loving, eternal beings. no winning or losing, just being. peace.

I agree completely, very well said.
The meaning of life is to live! It shouldn't have to be overcomplicated and have a "goal" like many people believe. Like you said, the true reward is life itself and this existence.
I also think that people should be less reluctant to spread love and compassion to others. This world needs a lot more love!!

Thank you, brother!:peace::heart:

Sperm mode but life ends up being a cosmic BJ

Could be mouse mode... Chasing the cheese
Or cat mode... Chasing the mouse
Or...

I totally agree with what you are saying... Modern society and especially capitalism

People always 'want' something which they feel will make them happy
But really, they need to be happy THEN figure out what they want

The full mouse mode... Eat before you shop

People need to stop and smell the roses... But not want to own the roses
Smell... Experience.... Just Be

Good thoughts my philosophical

I don't know. I think a lot of "experience it" guys are just o passive to overcome this world so they run from it and into the arms of their own kind. I used to be like that.

to many chemicals floating around the air, water, and food to be content with anything..

to many frequencies affecting peoples brains to be content... thanks to tv, video games, certain (if not all) music, oh and uhh...just being born a slug and wanting to either remain a slug or grow some strong muscles and bones makes it harder...takes money to....well lets face it..

you CAN live without money but having that cheap gym membership, spending money on food and clothing is much more efficient than killing your own beetles to create dye... killing your own deer for sport/food...not food every freaking day.. but i guess knowing the food we get comes from somebody else doing the killing..but also pumping them with hormones and feeding them corn and other bs to fatten em up..

the bottom line is this..


FUCK...OTHER..PEOPLE...

IF YOU KNOW THE ANSWER.. RUN WITH IT..

FUCK...OTHER PEOPLE...

IF YOU KNOW WHAT IS RIGHT...FEEL ACCOMPLISHED...FEEL BLESSED...FEEL LUCKY...

DON'T WORRY IF JOE AND JANE SMITH ARE CLUELESS...

The thing about happiness is there are NO shortcuts..

obviously YOU aren't happy if YOU LET OTHER PEOPLES LACK OF INTELLIGENCE, OR ENLIGHTENMENT GET TO YOU..

REMEMBER..

SMELL THE FLOWERS.. DONT OWN THEM.

There is NO right or wrong way to live...

SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST...BITCHES.

you "think" you are... maybe you have everything you "need" as of now... but you gotta keep "working" to maintain...

go a few weeks or months without a job or paying bills..then we'll see how content you are..

go be a contestant in ninja warrior and win... bet you aren't strong enough.. even if thats something you don't wanna do in life, I bet you could be more "content" or "happy"

You said it's not possible to be content.  I'm content in this moment.  Why would I imagine some random possible future just to make myself unhappy?

It's interesting to think how close we were to not making it to the promise land. You're right though, nice post :thumbup:

Nice try, but totally backwards. There was no 'you' until long after the sperm and egg met. 'You' is an emergent property and not the winner of a coital race.

And what about all the things you do or have done in your name for your survival.  Plant and animal cultivation (slavery) and death?  Fighting over habitat with other life forms so you can raise your spawn?  Etc.

Hey I was intending to write an article for my website about something roughly similar to this, but I didn't think up the term "sperm mode." Can I use it? It's a brilliant metaphor. No worries if not.
