Stupidity 2

It has been a rather an eventful 2 weeks or so. No, I am not a good man and no, I do not pretend to be one.

Eventually, what really irks me is not losing per se, it is losing to someone and something quite pretentious. I can lose, it's fine by me, but just don't pretend to be the good guy.

Indeed, competition is the life and death of live and it is the survival of the fittest but at the end of the day, you just look like sour puss by losing.

There are quite a number of detractors and critics and by whatever name you can call them. They are what I call ideological attackers- they have chosen a path and intend to stick to it till death and therefore any deviation is not just a switch in thinking- it is the loss of the soul of the entire being.

They are better off dead if they lose- they would be drug addicts and the walking dead if found that the ideology is gone and dusted. An hollow empty shell of man and woman who devoted a large part of their life which eventually they found out amount to nothing, losing their meaning and direction in life.

Religion is not the new religion, culture is the new religion. This cult do not have outward symbol- they have identifiable habits. It's adherents do not declare themselves- they just act like a light at the end of tunnel- blindly doing what other's of the same kind do; and fighting off anything deviating from it.

Wars are fought on geographical turf, this war is fought on an ideological and imaginary one. The winners are the one shifting the ideological tide. Things are changing- I can sense the rumbles of change quaking just below my feet.

It would be by any consequence that this war is not fought on conflict- it is fought on bondage. It is the "Family" acting against another. And therefore in any case, anyone who wins the war is the one who keep harmonious together while finding a bigger target to fight. The target is again ideological, there are no demons or aliens involved- just cardboard characters.

I am slowly pigeon-holing myself in one tiny caricature call the one who " does and says what he wants". This stereotype is in itself is a giant target board- because no one likes to hear the truth and the hard stuff, everyone wants to hear comforting words- self-affirming actions.

I like to think this is not ideological, because I am dealing with this situation in a way most palatable to me I can. I am not saying that I right, I am just dealing in the best way that I can do.

In any case, I would prefer to live in a world that people which are thinking, willing and seeing- and I seriously doubt, this would ever materialize in my life-time.

People live and die by ideology, they would never live and die by understanding and reason.

I used to think that people are stupid, now I really believe that they are stupid- not for the lack of capacity but the lack of desire and willingness.
