Reality Check: The Fuck?

Hey Guys so probably wondering why it says the fuck and not an actual issue.  Well that's because.....I don't even know the fuck is going on any more.  One week a lawyer is claiming that a barrister is being sexist over a linkedin chat message, next we have Ku Klux Klan members as state senators and now we have Paris being bombed and Hacktivists declaring war on ISIS.  I'm sorry but what's next? Religious war? Oh wait that's sorta happening now too.  Guys this is just getting out of hand honestly.

The amount of racism, sexism, terrorism and pretty much all the -isms is sky-rocketing and all because of........I don't even know actually.  There is no genuine logic to any of this honestly.  Heck the most logical people right now are the hacktivists.  I mean seriously.  If this shit goes any more south we're going to be looking up at hell.  Either each country will be at war with one another or agree to never ever communicate with other countries again and then summon all their people back to their respective countries.  I mean jeez i'm mixed race....which country do I go to?

Crappy jokes aside, these are dangerous times.  Muslim hate is increasing, number of deaths are increasing, the number of times the word terrorist has been seen is increasing, and people are just starting to panic and point fingers.

So what is the point of this post? Probably calm down.  There's a lot of crap that's gonna happen in the next couple months, and they're not gonna be good.  But right now people are just looking for an excuse to be the first ones to say: "lets kill them".  Please everyone lets try and keep a cool head about everything, no finger pointing, no hating.  I know it's hard to ask because honestly as humans we tend to be kinda selfish but we need to put that aside and really think about what future we want.  Start helping our own, and by our own I mean our species.  Yes I understand there are endangered species out there who apparently have more rights than a war veteran in the US, but right now we need to truly band together as humans and protect one another.

We're animals at the end of the day, and like animals we want to hurt those who hurt us, we want revenge because we think it'll be good, it'll feel good.  We even have a saying for it: "an eye for an eye".  Not only that but we also shun the sick, the weak, the helpless.  If we truly are as evolved as we claim to be.  If we truly wish to consider ourselves civilised and humane, we must drop these animalistic qualities and start truly thinking of others as our brothers and sisters.  Yes brothers and sisters, because at the end of the day, remove the differences in opinions, and the color of the skin, heck even remove the genders, and we are all one and the same.

We're not just a community, we're not just humans.  We are one.

Reality Check: Friendships

Hey guys and gals of the interwebs.

And that was my lamest intro ever.....joy.

So everyone has someone special in their lives.  Be it a soulmate or a family member  they hold dear.  maybe a role model they look up to.  Heck some people love themselves too much and become their own special one.

So I was going through some personal stuff a couple years back and honestly I had a lot of difficulty dealing with it, to the point that each day would be a struggle to get out of bed.  So one day as I was working at the school library I met this random girl who was kinda weird and shy but friendly.  Little did I know that that she would change my life completely for the better.  She really helped me think more and be myself, and though honestly I probably don't show it, she helped me mature into a better person.

So a long time ago I was asked the following question: What to you is a friend?

I couldn't come up with an answer because at the time I felt genuinely alone.  Heck to this day I dunno exactly what constitutes a friend.  Is it most trustworthy? Most loyal? The one who would help me cover up a murder? I really dunno.  I will say this though.  My friend, lets call her E, is someone I trust, someone I adore and someone I would gladly throw myself in front of a speeding bus for.  She helped me discover the value of friendship, and even though I still can't answer that question she's helped me draw some conclusions.

A friend isn't someone who always agrees with you or who hangs out with you, but one who listens and knows how to make you laugh, one who you can talk to after months and months of not talking as if it's only been a day; and to me friendship means family.

So on the day this post is being written on is actually E's birthday.  So this post is mainly for her but also for all you readers out there so please raise your imaginary glasses for a toast:

E you're a truly amazing friend.  I am who I am today because of you, I'm here because of you.  You introduced me to a world where I wouldn't have to be ashamed of myself, you helped bring me out of my shell.  Went along with some of my stupidity at times, to show me how much of an idiot I was being.  Most of all you've always been there when it mattered.   You're a very strong, independent and remarkable young woman and I know you'll go far in life, so keep being strong, keep being you, don't let anyone belittle or hurt you because you're worth so much more.  You're a person who I know can make a huge change in the world and I'll always be here to protect you my dear friend whether it's from statues and mannequins or boos and sentient masks that bring destruction via the moon.  So I wish you a very Happy Birthday.  May the rest of your life bring you the happiness you very much deserve and may our friendship last until the end of time.

So guys comment below what a friend is to you.

Who is who

Ok before anyone goes all troll and say "oh the title is too confusing", yes, i know it is confusing.  Kinda fits the theme here so deal with it.
Anyway so lately i've been considering alot of things, but mostly about who i am; and for that matter who are you.  Individuals are not really defined in a specific way other than how they are perceived by others.  Yes you're own opinion matters but when someone wants to know something about you they usually go to your friends so what do your friends really say? Just as beauty is in the eye of the beholder so is truth a matter of perspective.  A truth for one person may in fact not be the same to another.  Just as an example 2 people are stranded alone on a desert island.  No food and no other means of survival other than to eat each other.  To some this is seen as cannibalism.  To them it was their natural instincts kicking in and telling them they must survive.
So what is a truth? I guess a truth would have to be a fact.  Something that no matter who says it or how many times it is said it does not change.  For example saying that this note exists is a fact.  Saying the note is meaningful may be true to me but not to others therefore truth is unreliable.
So where does this all fit in with knowing oneself? Well is what we know about ourselves a fact? Or a truth? There are some things we know about ourselves which in fact are facts such as unavoidable behaviour usually caused by our natural instincts such as greed and there are aspects or our behaviour that we have been taught and have stuck with us therefore altering our individual personalities such as being sympathetic.
Even our own truths as to who we are is not only subject to change due to experiences but they are also a matter of perspective.  Therefore saying "i know myself better than you do" or "you don't know me" are both true and false.  Basically, humans are not aware of their own true nature and probably never will be.  We can only base what we are on the truths that surround us but instead we must forget the truths and think of the facts.  What are these facts? Well.....no idea.
Alright so that's my note of the week or month or.......year.......i really dunno if i'll continue these.  If anyone reads this leave a comment of your own opinion and also if you think i should make more like/comment saying you do and i'll make these more frequent.
