Fighting demons

We all hit rough patches sometime in life.

For some people, past trauma haunts them so.
Nick Portokalos once said,
"Don't let your past dicate who you are, but let it be part of who you will become."
It spoke volumes to me when I first came across it.
Being stuck in the past is not a pleasant experience, if we want a pleasant experience we have to venture out of the clutches of history.

"We need to fight the good fight."
Did you know that this was a quote from the bible?
It's true: Timothy 6:12.

By fighting the good fight, we fight our inner demons.
The demons of negativity that plagues our souls, tainting it.

We often struggle, surviving with ourselves.
No matter what, we keep finding something to fight for.
There is no shortcut. Only those who continue to make sincere efforts become strong. Strong in will. Relentlessly remaining positive, that's what it's about.
Not letting negativity stain your soul.


You can dream the world is yours.

Immortality

Born, we live, and we die
What's the meaning of life, if life is so short?
To each, their own.

But my meaning is this:

We're like fireworks, spending most of our time getting set up.
Only to be launched into the wintry skies of tranquility.
Content. Life goes on.
We're like flowers that bloom and vanish in an instant.
Flowers of fireworks.
Transitory, we are.


Some dream of immortality.
Some dream of the sweet release that death provides.
Some dream of blood and bone.

What is immortality? Living forever, and staying the same?
Then.. wouldn't death be considered this?
That's just the delineation.

Look at us: we adapt, we change, we live, we survive.
We do what needs to be done.
Constantly adapting to our surroundings, we are immortal.

Your own life depends on its success.
Living beautifully until the end, with an array of explosions.
What is living forever, if we don't live?

Holier than thou..?

Acting Holier than thou..?
No.
Stop.
Please, stop.

Look, we've all probably met a few "arrogant bastards" before.
They ridicule.
They lie.
They subject.
They're ASSHOLES.

(sigh)
. . .

Is it so difficult to treat people the way you want to be treated..?
Is it such an odd, complex ideology that it baffles your mind..?

Bob Marley once said, "Who are you to judge the life I live? I know I'm not perfect and I don't live to be, but before you start pointing fingers... make sure your hands are clean!"

Yes, make damn sure.
It's pretty simple.
Do unto others as you would have done to you.
It says more about your character than anything else.

Eesh. What do you think?

About other blogs

So you want my opinions on other blogs?

Sure.

But first, what do I think of blogs now?

I see them as a sort of medium: a means to mass communication.
Like a vehicle to convey ideas or information.
They can provide useful for sure, other times.. not really-

Here are some other blogs I looked at:
I'm not going to rate them numerically,
I'm just going to say whether I liked them or not and why.
Purely my subjective opinion.

The Huffington Post

It's an online news place for topics like US politics, entertainment, style, world news, technology and comedy. I didn't really like this one because a lot of the content is politics related. Something I'm not too fond of. The information about technology and world news is okay though. I suppose I'm neutral on this one then.

TMZ
  
Celebrity gossip, entertainment news, covering of celebrity news, and Hollywood rumors. Nothing about this one interests me because I definitely don't like this kind of content. It's cut, dry, and meaningless to me.

Blah.

More blah.

Lifehacker

This blog covers a wide range of topics including: Microsoft Windows, Mac, Linux programs, iOS and Android, as well as general life tips and tricks. I like this one because I find the information to be very useful. It's nice that some of the information can be applied to daily life.



So yeah, what kind of blogs do you like?
