The Truth I Have Suffered For

Hello to all of my friends/enemies, teachers and destroyers, sweet companions and blithering imbeciles on this site...

For every single one of you is every single one of these things. (EDIT: Obviously I'm included in the lot of humanity also; everyone has been all of these things at one point or another. I must stress that if you find any offensive language in my writings then you are reading it incorrectly)

I owe my search for truth in no small part to the pain I experienced from this site, as well as many other places during my life.

My rejections from chat channels, rejection of my ideas from people that called me stupid and clueless. You've caused me so much pain and brought so much joy that I feel obliged to present my truths that I have searched long and hard for to those who will listen.

Humanity can't move forward at all unless we really accept who we are. Unless we really take a look at morality, the terms good and bad in general and what they really mean/how they were really derived.

My main point is this:
We must realize that happiness, comfort and peace are all beautiful ideals, but only make up half of a perfect world. Pain, suffering, greed, jealousy and a (for most of us, a very secret and well hidden) desire in all of us to achieve our maximum potential in life fill the remaining half of the picture.

We can't strive for peace until we realize it was the brutality of war that got us there. We can't strive for happiness until we realize it was tragedy and suffering that let us feel that way.

My fear is that we still haven't learnt enough...that humanity still hasn't learnt the lessons it needed. My fear is that most people are dreaming of a delusional reality of comfort and ease for all without realizing where that actually leads; to the death of the species.

My fear is that with the USA approaching >$20trillion dollars in debt by 2020, most people will still think that there is an easy way out and everything is just going to 'work itself out' and humanity will come together like one big happy family. I can see so clearly that it will not end this way, and due to our overpowering seduction to peace and happiness (while turning a blind eye to our 'dark' side, whatever you make of that term) shit will hit the fucking fan.



And of course it goes without saying that my fear of rejection and everyone calling me stupid for posting these very thoughts is still present within me... but I've grown up a bit and can take a few more punches.... + I was a bit bored and haven't written anything for a while so I thought this would be fun.

Peace out

lol I'm sure you are bro.

I'd like to add only serious comments or none at all plz:

EDIT: actually I'd like to add...there's really no way to have a small discussion about this, these were just some random thoughts...so probably no comments at all would be nice

Humanity has moved forward for millenia despite war, pain and suffering. And there's going to be more of that. And when global warming hits hard all at once, when nations snap like twigs and more wars break out, people will die, but then people will rebuild. Striving for peace and unity is foolish, get your peace in the knowledge that in the end we'll probably halfass a solution.

Actually that was and still is one of my main methods of improvement; to realize that sometimes a blithering idiot was the LEAST you could say to describe my actions/train of thought

I've improved somewhat, but the Socratic paradox "I know that I know nothing" is always present in my mind

It's funny how sometimes I feel the pain and joy of the world so deeply, and sometimes I don't give two shits about what anyone else does

If an american teenager wrote this I would be concerned for the safety of his classmates.
Why would I play sctoo when I can play BW?

As a legit predator yourself, you just might know...

Says Australia though so it's all pretty safe.
