Infinity, Intelligence, Facts, Truths, and Honesty

Infinity, Intelligence, Facts, Truths, and Honesty

A woman (I'm tired of calling her a bitch though she does have bitchy [and some loving] "attributes". Names are meaningful. That is to say, they are pregnant with meanings and they do signify something. They are shorthand descriptions of realities. I would call Michelle Obama a bitch because she does appear so in her speaking style and her demeanor. I wouldn't call Hillary Clinton or Mother Teresa bitches.) complained why I went on a verbal rampage against her once again. The long and short answer is that some of her statements offended my sense of facts, truths, intelligence, and honesty. Unlike her, I would never dream of asking Barack Obama or even Mitt Romney to prove to me that they are superior to me. Their accomplishments may not be appealing to me and their personalities might not be to my liking, but objectively speaking, not only I myself but numerous innocent bystanders would make a casual observation that in the overall scheme of things, these two individuals are definitely "superior" to me in terms of social intelligence and political drive. For me to deny that these two individuals are not superior to me in at least those two arenas means that I willingly deny realities by sticking my head in my ass. There's one thing I'm head and shoulders over most earthlings is that I don't stick my head in my ass. That is to say, I don't believe in a personal God who has an interest in the welfare of the inhabitants on this planet and to Whom humans can pray to for wishes and desires. Neither do I believe in an afterlife or reincarnation or Judgment Day. I have an active and huge contempt and pity for those humans who do. To me, they are emotional, weak-minded, if not downright stupid and self-deceiving, cowards. Just because most people believe in things which are against facts, evidence, and logic, that doesn't mean those things exist. There's a thing called willful self-deception in order to satisfy childish longings, greed, and stupidity. 

Okay, I'm sounding like a real asshole with my words so far, but guess what, they are all true and factual. Facts are what I am aiming at. Note that I have not written anything about "infinity", despite its appearance in the first position in the heading of the blog. The reason is that I felt totally inadequate about the subject after reading about it on the Net. At least I have some intellectual honesty, and not just brazen pretense. All I know that infinity is a human construct designed to indicate a possibility/concept in a universe where there's no end. But the idea that there's a scenario where there's no beginning and no end baffles my mind and boggles my  imagination. I never seem able to break free of the idea that there can't be a spontaneous creation. I am not smart and knowledgeable to speculate anything further other than saying that it seems to me that the energy that so far I know about from reading and thinking stay the same; only its manifestation changes. At any rate, I've talked too much already. 

There are two more things I want to say before I keep my mouth shout. 

1. If you want to know how crazy and irrational and dealt-destructive Man is, go to war or go to a casino.
2. On the other hand, if you want to see how sublime and noble Man can be, go a to chamber music session or visit any religious abode, be it a temple, church, synagogue, or mosque. 

Avoid being enraged. You are incapable of being rational when that happens. You are just flooded with chemicals that demand actions to destroy the source of your anger, regardless of the costs involved. So don't be angry, I repeat. Find ways to defuse your anger once it surfaces. If you cannot find a way, your anger will destroy you sooner or later. I should know. I am speaking from experiences. Ego should always be subservient to Truth. No matter what hurtful things people say about you, if the things are factually true,  you have no right to be angry. After all, you wouldn't be angry about the fact that fire is hot and ice is cold, would you? Find ways to be silent and walk away from imbeciles and assholes. You don't have to prove to yourself and to them that you are smarter than them. Please remember this world is full of sick, violent, and stupid folks who, out of being angry and unhappy, want to bring violence and misery to others so they would not feel so bad about themselves. Misery loves company. Please, avoid unhappy and selfish folks. Sooner or later, they will hurt you. 

I am no longer unhappy. And I am never selfish. Now, I am a bit wiser, too. I am no longer too eager to show off my intelligence and knowledge. After all, I am not very intelligent and knowledgeable. To thine own self, be true, as the Bard once said in the play Hamlet.
