I believe a short introduction is in place when opening a blog so this first paragraph will be about me and if you feel no interest about such nonsense, skip ahead to the second paragraph with the real post.
This blog will consist of my thoughts written down and put into a formal text.
Topics to expect:
-Nihilism. -Equality. -Communication & Interaction. -General whine.
Remember to keep a open mind to my texts, they are often offensive but also made that way for a reason. The formality of the text is simply because I'm studying English, so I will concede to it.
Please, leave feedback and advices, these posts will reflect my feelings from time to time but they're also created for me to improve, feel free to criticize both my ideas but foremost the coherence and content of the texts. Note that the intention of the texts usually is more so artistic than actually bringing forth a opposition to rebel for whatever I write about.



Born for indifference.
The tenacity of reliance has been diminishing; the transformation invoked by our new-found way of communicating plays its part. Our domestic bluntness is rewarded in today’s system, and it's embraced as a factor of success. For being in debt means being a peasant, working instead of studying and therefore depriving ourselves of the systems rewards.
It's instrumental to encourage creative behavior, questioning our roots and purposes in order to continuously build components towards humanitarian behavior.
We can't be blinded by government entrapment, sacrilege prostitution of lives and identities.
"Insert cheesy quote here"
So it's time to re-prioritize, step outside and leave our comforts, ask questions and answer it without rationalization. It's time we support each other to make up our own minds, because reliance is bleeding and we need each other to patch it back up.

Great post. I believe you are saying essentially the same thing I said in my thesis and confession I recently posted.
Do you really want chat rooms?

I feel like there is an important but oftentimes blurry line between 'artistic', 'pretentious' and also 'obscure'. For next time, you should be especially careful to guard against the latter two. You can have a very forceful and powerful prose without relying on the obfuscating effect of ambiguous statements. Sentences 3 and 7 (of the actual text) were fine though.

As for the content, I will comment on that if you tell me what exactly you were trying to say in the first paragraph after the headline.

Agreed. I really couldn't understand a word you were saying.

Hold on guys. I'm an English major. I'm the king of nonsense and gibberish. Let me provide a translation. [English to English translations function much like geometric translations. We move shit to completely different spots, yet they still look the same. We interpret completely different meanings, though the words remain the same.]

ahem...

Our revolution in communication transforms us; Our inter-reliance diminishes. Our casual bluntness is rewarded and embraced. We fear social debts, which must be payed, and prefer personal study, with it's hedonistic reward.

We must create anew, we must break this standard and build lasting humanitarian behavior.
We needn't fear others' entrapment and sacrilege, lest we prostitute our lives and identities.

"I ain't tryin' to do no good. I'm tryin' to be happy!"

It's time to prioritize. It's time to step outside and leave our comforts, ask questions and answer without over-thinking. It's time we support each other to make up our own minds, because inter-reliance is bleeding and we need to patch each other back up.

Here's my cheesy quote:

“Whoever knows he is deep, strives for clarity; whoever would like to appear deep to the crowd, strives for obscurity. For the crowd considers anything deep if only it cannot see to the bottom"
-Nietzsche
Some would say that hydrogen cyanide is a delicious and necessary part of the human diet, but others claim it is a toxic and dangerous substance. The truth must therefore be somewhere in between.

Haha well played.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

Thank you for all the feedback, to comment on some I guess I would've been better off without writing anything about my points of interest in the writings since I feel a lot of criticism is actually pointed towards it instead of the text.

You got a valid point with the artistic, pretentious and obscure part, but to make it, I guess... less offensive to actual artists, I was just trying to underline that the creative process was more important than stating a fact or whatnot.

@rusedeguerre. The reasoning behind the formality has already been mentioned before the text, however I do see the reasoning what you quote, and I will keep that in mind that if I'm about to deliver a message or idea, I'll do it direct and without implications.

No one seems to be giving you any credit for this, but I thought it was really good . Nicely written too, you can tell you're an English major.

@OP At times in your text you use rather dead, business language. Words like "instrumental", "continuously" and "re-prioritize" read like something out of a company's mission statement. Having said that, I know you're not writing in your native tongue, so I'm hesitant to be too critical. Just something to be aware of I guess. 4/5 for effort.
