explanation and a discussion on a topic that doesn't need to be deep

so, yeah, i forgot that i had a blog here, so i am going to again, be in the process of moving stuff not only from my MySpace blog (which i am growing less and less attached to) and some stuff that i have done for YouTube.

anyway, that was the explanation, now, the discussion. empty philosophy.

Colossians 2:8 says "Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ."

now, i am not a Christian,but i do believe that the writer had a point.

empty philosophy is just that, deceit, but not really for the one that is supposedly being deceived, but for the one deceiving. for they are lying to themselves that they are indeed like Christ (and i am saying Christ in the sense of him being a very intelligent and spiritual teacher.)

there is nothing wring with striving to be spiritual and look beyond the realms that which confine us to this "human" being. but it gets really fucking annoying when everything is put into question, or given a spiritual perspective.

answers don't lie in every crevice of the earth and as much as i want to believe that we are all special and works of art, we are all the same, because we all believe that we are special.

a couch is just a couch, and not things to delve upon the deepness of rest. a game of basketball is nothing more than just competition between two sides for the gratification of a win, not a work of art (although, that does not make it any less interesting to watch or mean the athletes are any less skillful than a painter). and brownies are just delicious cakes of chocolate, and not universes upon themselves that float with the "euphoric: sensations of being that need to be discussed in a manner of spirituality.

these things, and seeking out a deeper meaning for them is empty philosophy. trying to find the essence of a couch or the art in basketball will drive you mad. because they are not necessary for development in our natures as humans.

why don't you think the great philosopher of antiquity and even more modern times discussed things like that? because they had more important things to write huge essays about, like love, inner peace, and human nature. things like that don't matter, and you don't sound deep when you ask questions like that, you sound arrogant, pompous, boorish, and frankly... like a douchebag.

i am not addressing any of you people that will read this, because the people that i am addressing are not going to read this, but i warn those of you that are... don't fall into this trap, and don't put up with people who do this. just tell them they are being douchebags.

"i'm being a douche for thinking deep?"

"no, you are being a douche for deeply thinking about a shallow subject"

"well, that's just your opinion"

"no, that is a shallow subject and you know it. you are merely trying to prove to us that you can think deep, and i know you can. but that does not mean you have to be philosophical about every subject. sometimes a banana is just a banana, love is more than just words, and you are just a jackass that has an inferiority complex that is really starting to bug the shit out of me. you don't need to prove to me that you can be smart, because i know that you are, so stop."

too bad that the guy i want to yell this at only sees his words and select others (ones he deems "deep") valid.

jackass.
