I think we all would agree with the statement "life sux", or "people suck".

But why do you think that is?

If you don't know, you prolly just havent given it much thought.

Most people who know me well, and there aren't that many, know my stand on self satisfaction (no im not talking about THAT you fken perv), that is selfishness. This entry is not about that.. so ill break it down very simply..

We are ALL selfish, its who we are..how we are built. Spare me the "no im not" s**t, yeah dude... you are. Just cause someone does things for others, or does things that dont help themselves doesnt make them not selfish.. you see there is a base desire to feel good, and helping others makes us feel good about ourselves. Even a mother caring for her children does so out of a need to know they are safe and ok. Then of course there are those people who so obviously do things to either have them held over your head later, or to gain leverage. My point is pretty much made... no one is not selfish..

See the issue is that people see selfishness as a "bad thing" and its not. Its an elementary instict. If you dont care for yourself... who will? It goes hand in hand with the drive to survive....its natural. Intelligent even.

So back to what i was saying...

So we are all self centered...and there is no point to anything cause we are all assholes? yeah? this sound familiar..ok well let me give yo something to consider...

After hearing this...wisdom... if you wanna call it that... have you had a SINGLE fken thought today that DIDNT revolve around yourself? If you have.. dig deeper.. disect why you THINK it wasnt about you... if you cant find anything.. if it truely was generous and/or selfless... congradulate yoruself. Today... you are worth something more than nothing. Today you ascended for a breif moment beyond what each of us can be...

Tommorrow will prolly suck again. But for today you should be proud.

Your not a tool. Your not human.

Your decent.

Thats gotta be worth something.

Happy Holidays boys and girls.
