I think that everyone needs to take a step outside of themselves and examine their lives. Honestly. I'm a very obsevant person. Always have been. And what i have observed is that more and more people are putting out unfair judgements of people who dont deserve it. Does that make sense? Stop it. Seriously. Don't judge and analyze someone you dont know. It's not okay.
Dont give me that jumbo "everyone judges". I don't believe it. You can totally stop it if you want to. See people for their minds not the car the drive, the way they dress, what kind of music they listen to. Because in the end, does that all really matter? Honestly.
I'm not going to diss straight edge. I honestly think it's a great movement and a lot of my friends are a part of it. But lately, i've seen a lot of negativity coming from it. Like okay i understand you dont "poison your body" i understand that you "dont sleep around, you're slut free". I get it. Great. But you know that doesnt make you better than the rest of us. It doesnt make you better than me, my best friend, or the boy who sits next to you in econ that likes to smoke weed occasionally. Reality.
Reality.
At least straight edge kids are passionate about something. You want to wear your xxx shirts and sing to stay gold in your car? Awesome :) really. No sarcasm, i think that's great. It's good positive energy. But if someone else wants to be passionate about bartending, or smoking weed. Fuck. Let them. At least they have passion for something.
In a world run by self-interest and sincere apathy every little ounce of passion and spirit that comes from anything its greatly needed.
Just let people live. You live your life the way you want to. And let people live their lives they way they want to. Just follow the first rule of the universe : do not harm.
DO NOT HARM.
do not harm.
Everything will fall into place. Open your eyes and realize that everyone is fighting their own battles. Everyone has a sad story to tell. Everyone has a spark of interest that they feel they need to fight for. No one gave you the right to take that away or tell them it's wrong.
Yes, you could tear me apart for this. Yes, i understand i am far beyond perfect. Yes, you could probably find a bagillion things in here to argue about. But, is it really worth your time? In a world ending slowly from apathy, consumerism, and obsession with onesself i just needed to rant a bit.
Peace, love, and let live.
