confused silence.
mum: why are you so quiet now? o.o
I won't even begin to try and comprehend that. Woah THIS AUTOSAVES! How cool!:D
(you don't have to tell me I have a short attention span.)
I was feeling quiet intellectual and I was hoping to utilize that on this..thing..:S But of course, that was before bogus about 'cookies' and 'blogger' popped.
There's a famous Greek philosophiser named Epicurus. He believed that if you really wanted to be happy, you had to have three things;
- Friends.
- Freedom
- Thought
I learnt that in society and culture on Friday, so it's not a totally useless subject.
Friends. Friends, friends FRIENDS. Who are your friends? Do you trust your friends? What is a friend? Do you believe your better off alone, as I sometimes do? Do you, in your deepest hearts of hearts, believe your friends are real?
Sometimes I think, because of high school, people with similar interests band together. Safety in numbers, you could call it. So when we get thrown together and delve deeper within ourselves, are they friends? Sometimes I think I have no friends (laugh if you may), but I think I only have 'friends' because of how circumstances are. If I hadn't come to this school in 08', I seriously doubt I'd have the 'friends' I do now. See, circumstances. Don't get me wrong, my friends are great, they are really are (: But I'm questioning the basic fundamentals of friendship, if it really exists.
HAHA FOOD FOR THOUGHT~ Epicurus also said we need to escape materialism, and we should do this with friends.
To some extent, we use our friends. Don't deny it, no one wants to be the 'loser' or the loner in the school. Everyone wants to have friends. Like everyone wants tomorrow's new technology. Friends make us feel good, but maybe only in the sense that nobody can attack us for being a loner by having a group. Questions questions questions.
It's like a pack of wolves. Wolves travel in packs. (shocking tautology I'M SORRY.) Why?
Because they don't want to feel threatened and to protect themselves and each other. That's why. Note: Maybe that's why the bitchiest groups in school are often the most biggest? So to escape materialism in the world, if we take friends with us, we're clutching at straws. Epicurus, why did your friends make you feel good? Why did you suggest that we should never eat alone? I'm sorry, but social deprivation doesn't concern me.
Sorry Epicurus, but I believe happiness comes within ourselves. Yes there is death in the world, yes there is cruelty, sickness and unfairness in the world. I know that. Bla bla, but if I say to myself
I am happy and I am content
Then I am. No matter if I'm jailed, or in the country side running free. I am happy and I am content. I say it, I belive it, I feel it. Precisely in that order.
Freedom. Some people believe you need to escape your physical surroundings to be free. I'm sorry but you are so fucking materialistic if you think that. No you don't, okay? You sit in a quiet corner and you meditate. Do as the Buddhists do, they got it right. Doesn't matter where you are, if you focus and forget about the insignificant, then you have achieved freedom. It doesn't matter your parents are crazily strict (like mine), I am free. No one if restricting my thoughts. No one has placed a mental clamp over my brain. I am breathing. I am living. I am thinking. (:
SOO thought, huh? This is thought. Keeping it in my brain is thought. I'm so content just letting it out. This whole blog is about thought. (:
So if you read this, keep what I've offered as an opinion, in mind. Maybe in due course they'll change...maybe I'm very immature at the moment. But this is how I view the world and sense now.
BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE:D:D
