Life has something to teach you
and if it warps you
you’re probably a good student
most students don’t learn
they hate the school of life
they hate the idea that there might be patterns
Patterns never make a perfect picture
they create this haze of incongruity
a poor patchwork quilt that somebody forgot to finish
I hate teaching
but I love being a student
why?
because teaching rarely offers any insights
you’re so busy talking
and communicating
that the part of the mind responsible for survival
shuts off
I’m a survivor
I always have been
I am searching for a way to keep my body alive
my spirit alive
my mind working
so that it can solve the problems before they happen
so that I can stay out of the traps
so I know how to respond to stress
and religious doctrines
and 9 to 5 jobs
and parents
and siblings
and women
and bosses
and disagreeable coworkers who have boring lives punctuated by question marks and colons
where their crap pours out onto other people
I have found a way of looking at life
no longer seduced by honey
because it’s sticky
and it belongs to insects that sting
I have been careful in my decisions
and I usually cut-off every option
because I realize it’s almost all bad
for me
Few people realize the “for me,” part
they think… because other people are doing it
they should do it
what morons
how miserable they must be
I can see a problem a mile away
but they’re usually within 6 feet
I don’t hate humanity
I just keep my respectful distance
I even give to charity
but I never give a charity organization my contact information
Basically, the more you can do without
and live your life
the better chance you have of being happy
let the woman who collects problems, the way she collects kids, get the promotion, and advance
into the miserable swamp of prestige
How will you account for your life and the time you wasted?
When someone suggests you need more
walk the other way
In fact,
the best philosophy a person can have
is to walk the other way
walk in the opposite direction of the crowds
pay attention to the stragglers
listen to them
ask them questions
they will most likely be subnormal
but a few of them might have something to say
be a student, MAN
be a student
never be a teacher
I know these two roles seem the same
but there’s a big difference
learn it
never stop learning it
it will save your life
and you will have a life
that’s all your own.
Know your life
while you have it
cherish it
don’t listen to anybody who says you shouldn’t
they don’t have a life
it belongs to someone else
it belongs to the world
YOU
BELONG
TO
YOURSELF.
