In this world, we have so many things fighting to control everything we do, everything we think, every emotion we feel. From the religions to the governments, the media and the entertainment....the people who have a desire to control and manipulate us for their own gains fight hand and tooth to control us all. And these people range from Presidents and Popes, business CEO's and economic advisers, newscasters and marketing strategists, to everyday people like you or me...those people who strive to be one of those in control, and fall in line to the programs, world views and systems that instigate a 'get everything you can, while you can...and don't worry too much about the next guy' mentality. But you can't necessarily blame them for their behavior...they are just trying to win the game that they have been presented with as life. The world seems to reward this type of behavior.
But that doesn't mean that you have to fall into it if you don't want to.
We all have the choice to make our own worlds by what we do and what we say and the places and the people we chose to surround ourselves with. The world is what the world is, and we can only control what we chose to look at and the way we chose look at it. We all make our own lives. No matter what anyone tells you, we are all gods. We are all the gods of our own lives...to say anything otherwise belittles us all. We all make the decisions that constitute our lives and get us wherever we find ourselves to be. Now, that is not to say that many things won't influence our decisions (faith, outside uncontrollable situations, other people's actions, etc)...but ultimately to say that anyone or anything else is responsible for your actions and/or your decisions is nothing more than to say that you are a slave, at the whim of an outside force, and I, for one, do not favor that opinion in the fucking slightest.
Live your life. This is the best advice that I could ever give my son. Live your life and don't fucking ever let anyone tell you how to do it any differently than you would chose. That is what freedom is. We all know what is best for us, most times...and the mistakes that we will always make along the way teach us to better live and to make better decisions.
Go with what your heart tells you, and never allow anyone to make you do otherwise.
...that's what I am doing. Because talk is only good for so long...and then you have to start doing.
