Your view of how life should be lived

Bomba · #1 (**permalink**) 11-17-2003, 01:28 AM

I'd like to hear how some of you guys view life and how you belief in living or how you would like to live it if you're not currently living it the way you want. It's kinda lengthy but, here's mine...

I'm not too much of a religious person, the type that you would know my beliefs just by meeting me, but I do believe in God, and creation and many things that go along with it. I was born catholic but do not consider myself catholic because I've grown to see things in my own perspective and don't believe in some of the things that are done and are believed by the catholic religion such as confession, but that's another story. Ever since I can remember, I've never really wanted to be an average working person, I know that almost every person had dreams of being a superstar or famous actor or something when they were younger but my thurst for a unique life has never really gone away. Of course I have a goal for a "normal" profession which is a computer tech, but I am also a musician, I rap & sing and once in a while work on some techno type beats. I record on my home computer and am currently working on an album. Ever since I can remember, music has been my #1 thing, before weed came along to me, music was the only thing that kept me goin, it could always change my mood and lift my spirits. So being a musician...sorta fulfills my need to be different...even if I dont make it in the big times which I'm not planning on because there's so much more talent and I've always tried to be more reasonable, I'm quite happy just making good music that can maybe have an effect on other people the way music did for me. Now, in life...I'm a very laid back type person who can just go with the flow and I can get along with most people...I can jus party and have fun and I can get into deep and spiritual discussions with someone. I want to succeed of course, school, and having a reasonably stable life, but more then bein a success in modern society (which has come to be known as "life") I pride myself more on being a good person and having fun in life which I think can easily go hand in hand. I smoke bud because even though I try to live more simply, the complications of modern life can get to me, I smoke it to just have a good time, and to free my mind and see things from a different perspective. I think that God understands everything that I do and is fine with it as long as one has a "pure" heart. So, my main goal in life is to be successful without losing any of my beliefs or going against them to succeed. I could go on forever lol, but thats a small bit of what I think life is = ]

I believe in not thinking too much, because it can give me a headache, if i had a choice to be sober for the rest of my life or stoned for the rest of my life, i would have to say stoned.
That's me in a nutshell.

Simple really.....

We should be able to live any way that we want to as long as we don't harm or bother any one else..

We should be free to live on our properties with out the worry of some one coming around and being able to take it away if we are paying our bills and not endangering others..

If more people would take care of their own and be sober in the eye of the public, we wouldn't have so much to worry about..

I think every way is a fine way to live life. We have endless options and they are all equal, they each have thier own benefits, and negatives, but I do not believe one should in general live one way or another. Concepts like a moral life or a just life, or even an evil life are all man made, there is no such thing as good or bad or better or worse, everything is an experience and that is all everything is.

As long as i'm happy. I need to get these damn restraints off me first though... bummer. I still need to learn how to block out my surroundings and people and such. Sometimes that is the only way to be happy... or just content.

treat others how you want to be treated..

pay your bills on time...

party if u want, but make sure your kids are not in any danger from yourself or others around you...

appreciate every day...

give and accept love openly...

your own mouth is your own worst enemy (secrets are secrets)..no buts...

always have goals and dreams, for without goals and dreams you are an empty shell...

dance in the rain at least once a year...lol...

edit:also never swear in front of your children...

good luck on the album!any previews?

My philosophy on how life should me lived can be somed up by these 2 simple little things, So Fucking What and The Golden Rule(for those who don't know what that is look it up).
So fucking what just pretty much means don't sweat shit cause what is going to happen is going to happen no matter what you try and do to prevent it so you might as well not waste time on it. The golden rule i think is pretty self explainatory.

i think in each persons span of 80-100 years they should beable to acumilate and have certin things having more of these things to me means i have lived a better life:

having kids
lots of beer
lots of food
lots and LOTS of weed
a nice girl to love
having a decent car (1200-10000$ range)
not just having a job but finding a career that i really enjoy
having a house that i have paird off and own
having fuirniture and accessorys i would deem comfortable living
etc etc etc the list can go on forever

but the more you work for and create for yourself i think that is what we are sposed to strive for, the matereal things maby even this explanes why we build citys and counqer and stuff just the need to accumilate wealth and power part of the fomula in humanity

howzit goin...are you??

Krypto · #12 (**permalink**) 11-25-2003, 01:54 AM

Hmmmm...I'd have to say this..

Walk placidly among others, take every day as a gift.
Avoid people who might have bad influences, but yet listen to the dull and ignorant, they too have their stories.
We are the future of this world, its up to you to make this world what you want it to be. Avoid comparing yourself to others, you might become bitter and vein....Dont be afraid, true fears are made by lonliness. Have faith in whatever you belive, might it be God, or another, we all are heading to the same place some day....Take pride in your beliefs, dont try to hide yourself to fit in. Watch what you say, it could pay a price early on...Avoid the loud and abnoxious, they are vexatious to the spirit. No one is going to hand you something on a silver platter, earn it, it feels much better.... Strive to be the best, it'll pay off in the end..And always remember that theres nothing that bad in the world to kill yourself over, its a chickens way out of life....Make good decisions, but yet bad are not always what you think they are, they make you learn the price.....

I live by that everyday and it feels good to live by it..

How life should be lived imo?

Well we each have like's and dislikes that we cannot fully(sometimes even partially) account for. We should be able to do what we like, when we like, if it does not cause harm to others(harm can include physical harm, mental harm such as offense etc, or harm to one's property/wealth). Also, you should do things you don't necessarily like if they are helping out a friend or humanity. This helps people get past their difficulties with the help of others, instead of by themselves; allowing for a fair and productive society.

I see the scale, used metaphorically, as the most important tool in life. Decisions must be weighed on this scale and carefully thought out before hand. Consequences, be them definate or possible, must be realized before decisions are made.

Also imo, I don't see the need for absolute religions. I believe we should all accept the fact that a God may or may not exist and that no religion is definitely correct.

As far as politics, I am no expert, but I believe we need some major changes. We need laws to be made by a concensus of citizens, not some rich white folk only elected because they compromised their morals to get funds from outside sources in return for favors detrimental to society. If we must keep things the way they are we should atleast change the way we do elections. The candidates should all have equal funds for their campaigns.

Equity is also a very big issue. Why should millions starve while Bill Gates sits on billions of dollars? I say make 1 billion the cut off point and give the rest away. Greedy fucks piss me off.

Last but not least, life should be lived sustainably, which means that we should not do things to harm the environment beyond repair. At the rate we're going our great grandkids won't be able to have great grandkids.

Well I guess that's it for me, for now atleast.

Krypto · #14 (**permalink**) 11-25-2003, 04:08 AM

I'd have to disagree with you THCcrystals.....The part with 1 billion dollar cut off?I think that if we earned it, its ours, fair game....Bill gates is not greedy, he has some charities...How would you like work so fuckin hard in life and then get a huge reward like 100 billion dollars....Then 99 billion is taken away from you because its not fair?I disagree but its your opinion....Btw dont get offended, I like ya just voicin what I think, so dont take it as a flame=P....

DeadChimp · #15 (**permalink**) 11-26-2003, 10:54 AM

I think you should live your life however you want.

The government has no right to stop you from living the way you want. Law and order should still be held up somehow, but for the major crimes like murder, theft, child molestation, stuff like that. It's wrong for them to have the ability to take away years of my life if I decide to grow some plants and get caught. As long as there is no victim, it shouldn't be a crime. Life is way too short to spend it in prison, especially for something that stupid.

I also think we should abolish the monetary system, and go to some form of a bartering system. Money has no real use or function, why use it for trade? It'd make more sense to trade a tool for food, or something like that.

I also think that mankind should work to better itself as a whole, and not get stuck in this rut of greed, war, and corruption.

This will never happen, of course, but I can always dream.
