Naked Time

If everyone had to be naked in public, we would all be healthier. You would make sure you ran, played, ate well. You would be happier. Work would be cut down in hours so that you could enjoy life more and get that exercise to feed your vanity. That's probably the only time vanity is worthwhile...your health. Instead, we sit on our covered asses on cushioned chairs doing meaningless work as we slowly bloat away. Movie stars look great into their 50s now...because they have time to work out as part of their schedule. Work should end at 2:00 and then everyone should engage in some activity - required. Doesn't matter what, just that for 2 hours you engage the physical after 6 hours of mental. Do you really work all 9 hours within the day? Shouldn't some of it be devoted to you, not your equally bloated boss who has become your overseer and detriment to your health? If you want to convince him, come into work naked. When people have a problem, state that you'd look better if you had a healthier timetable. Then come into work fit - and naked. No one ever complains about a beautiful nude body. Maybe conservative Christians do. Hey...weren't they the cause of this problem in the first place?

Noah let everyone off the boat, they multiplied, divided, expanded, and then god chose sides? Was it really that bad before the boat?

Meaningful

I want to do something meaningful. But what is meaningful? Traditional history has deemed certain activities meaningful, and yet a meaningful existence implies an alteration to historical traditions. Is there a contradiction then that we inspire the youth to become meaningful and yet preach to them the doctrines of history in order to register with society? When is something meaningful? When it changes the course of history for a previously unforeseen benefit? Why then is anything meaningful – as it applies to positives only? World War 2 was not, by definition, meaningful – it was filled with death and destruction – and yet it was filled with positive outcomes from government unions to technologies to awareness. Does that make WW2 meaningful, not meaningful, or less-than-stellar-meaningful? Think of what you have as a result of WW2 at the cost of millions of lives. Nihilism is a bitch sometimes.

History

I've had a love-hate relationship with the concept of history and those that exploit it's references. While its lessons are invaluable, its underlining message is a manner of indoctrinating those that it teaches. Take a student from Anywhere: he grows up learning his national history, its 'values' and its position in the world. Then take a student from anywhere else in the world and do the same thing. History has now formed two individuals based on their birth location and pits them against each other with 'cultural pride'. Then, in juxtaposition for each individual, we offer opportunity by stating "free will". With such refinement against obvious contradiction, the free will then becomes open to suggestion. "If I am free, then I have a right to decide what I believe in." But did you ever? Your "free will" is programmed now. What is your freedom from? Oppression from governments? That's physical. The damage is routed in your education - what you know, what you perceive and what you hope to accomplish. The juxtaposition of freedom and history is to establish you as a national. I grew up with you, you grew up with us, we grew up together - let's preserve that. But what is it you defend? Your land, your ideas, your customs? They aren't yours. They belong to history.

Remove

I have to remove myself from history to re-establish my instincts.
