So I get stoned and have tons of random thoughts go through my head. I decided to type them up this time.
1) In the thousands of years we as humankind have been on this earth, why have we not yet found a cure for starvation? We've had so much time to come up with a system where all nations "pitch in" and make sure that everyone living is fed. It could really be such a simple system. Although when you think about it, there are a lot of variables. One major one would be population control. Still, it is a simple concept and a feasible one at that - especially with the technology and resources we as humans now have. The answer to my question is that nobody cares enough to put something as large of an idea together.
2) What is reality? Is there anyway one could manifest reality? It may be possible but I've yet to do so. You sure as hell cannot do it with drugs or alcohol. I've realized that doing these things just gives one a false sense of reality for that short period of time. Your problems and your worries are going to be there no matter what. So that leads me to ask myself, "Why continue doing this stuff?" Is it because it's fun or because it passes time?

It's always good to look at things from a wider perspective to get a different view of life or my inner workings. But what do I do when I'm in an altered state? I only view things from a much more narrow perspective. I think it's time for me to grow up, but where is the motivation? I have no motivation. Am I the only one who can help me?
3) Something there is that loathes what I've become.
4) When will I begin the metamorphosis into the adult life? Is it going to be when I join the military? Am I going to join the military? Do I even want to join the military? Do I even want to be an adult? Even if I don't, there is no choice - it's inevitable. Or is it? Is adulthood denoted by age? Is adulthood denoted by self realization? Is adulthood denoted by maturity? Does growing up have to happen? Maybe we must become adults because we accept it as an inevitability. I cannot believe I am 20 years old. There is so much I haven't seen or experienced. I'm just beginning my journey through human life. What the hell do I know? I suppose the more appropriate question would be...What don't I know. There is so much out there that I'm not aware of nor will I ever become aware of. I have a hard time accepting this. Is becoming an adult going to be a gradual change? Or will it be a sudden incident? I feel as though my life has something special in store for me. I know I'm different than most people. It's so hard to find people that I can connect with and understand. It's even HARDER to find someone who understands me. I can't even find myself so I can understand me. Does this ultimately mean that I'm going to be alone for the rest of my life? I have no idea. There are so many people on this earth and I'm sure at least one person in existence is like me and will imperforate me. When will I stumble upon this person? Will I even find this person? Why rely on another person to complete myself? It's only natural to want to be loved. Even if I don't find anyone, I'll be content with being alone.
5) Why is whatever someone says correct? Only because it's never been proved wrong? Truth as we know it is characterized by a few things:
a) Wide acceptance b) Narrow opposition c) Mathematical or evidential support
The thing is, because something has not been proven wrong does not make it true. Of course there are plenty of things we consider the truth that are actually "the truth", but have any of you ever questioned things? Is that what's wrong with society now? We are just spoon fed information and accept it as the truth. Do you folks know what propaganda is? If not, look it up. Now getting back on a more religious view of the truth...will I ever understand this concept? The concept of something being absolute and divine. The idea that there will be nothing that will ever arise to disprove the presence of God? I tell you what, I sure hope so.
6) Humility...hmmm...I have to think about this for a while. In fact, let me go to Dictionary.com and look up the accepted definition of what humility is. "The quality or condition of being humble." Being humble...why is this so hard? Why do we think we are better than others? Social status, monetary status, ideological concepts... why do these define superiority? Who cares? Well...most of us obviously do. A concept most of the world cannot grasp is that we aren't better than one another - we are one. We are humans living in this wonderful world. One quote that my mother has always had on the fridge states, "Love your life and it will be worth living". Wow, that is deep. So many of us forget to love our lives. Why do we do this? Because there are things that bring us down and things that don't appease our desires. It seems funny to say this, but the fact that our desires are not always fulfilled is such a beautiful thing. If we always got what we desired, there would be nothing special in this world. Nothing to make us appreciate the good and appreciate our lives. Our happiness would be defined by our possessions...oh wait isn't this true already?
7) Now to the most interesting question:
If one were to play hooky from school...does that make him or her a hooker?

I used to think about these exact same topics. Then I realized that the world is fucked and I cannot change that. I also realized that my puny human brain cannot unravel the mysteries of existence so there is no point in even trying.
Because of these realizations I have decided to devote my life to hedonism.

1, Cure for starvation is obvious to all; eating!
2, Reality is a tie, of personalities, accumulated in to matter.
Real ?I? tie, ? Fake ?I? lie, ?
Indirectly you can get help form anyone; it is self to self-help!
You ARE motivation, and you ARE what motivates, as a same, ?
3, the fear of losing ?self? ?
4, you are adult, when you take responsibility, for ALL of your actions! ?
5, because you always have to be right! (argue against it?) ?as we always could be wrong!
?What is right for you, is left for the one standing face to face in front of you..? -Unknown
You will always understand, you are doing it now! What matters is your attention. All is all in all, we just have to focus, our intent. Ever had a dream!!? :p
6, again the ironic fear of fearing? :p
7, rather an hokey?er.. ??? is it not slang!?
