As of now we all should be at least half way through the first week of Snatches ‘N’ Cleans, am I right? HA! That would be like me counting my chickens before they hatch. And I don’t take chances like that anymore! As Oscar Wilde would say,“People who count their chickens before they are hatched, act very wisely, because chickens run about so absurdly that it is impossible to count them accurately”
If it’s one thing that I do know it’s people, and I know them very well. Lately I have had some of the best personal and personable conversations with some of my favorite people and I feel compelled to share my thoughts about them with you all. Along with some appropriate quotes to hammer home my point. Again this is my opinion you don’t have to read it!!!!! But I hope you will

“Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out they’ve got a second.” ~William James
People are absurd!! I’m absurd, we all are absurd. It comes along with the territory we call life. We live in world full of non-believers, people who dawn themselves as the all-knowing in only what they know. Limited movement means limited thinking and the belief in one’s self is the true virtue of mankind. Yeah I’m a Cynic; I do believe that virtue is the only good, that the essence of virtue is self-control, and thatsurrendering to any external influence is beneath human dignity.I believe the people and circumstances around me do not make me what I am, they reveal who I am.
We are not an observant species, on occasions we produce great leaders and great followers, but what makes us flawed is our inability to nurture those leaders and followers. We suck the freaking life out of them, we make it almost impossible for them to grow and see the greatness in their roles. It’s that lack of self-control I was talking about earlier. Denial mostly, the revealing of yourself leaves you vulnerable something as humans we purposely hide.
“When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but with creatures of emotion, creatures bristling with prejudice, and motivated by pride and vanity” ~ Dale Carnegie
Being an antagonist I see the world like the story of Othello. After being arrested for his treachery toward Othello, Iago famously says, “Demand me nothing. What you know, you know. From this time forth I never will speak word.”
People are cowardly because they don’t speak. They hide behind their own emotional baggage making others secondary to their hurt pride. Iago like most people hurt without motive he is a“motiveless malignity”. We encounter Iago’s every day in our lives, from our bosses to our friends to our very own family. When offered a false sense of security and care we dame others to a time of uncertainty which taints our ability to see past our own shallow environments.
“We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It’s one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it’s another to think that yours is the only path.”~ Paulo Coelho
“The only path,” this is the fuel for this post. When you speak to people who believe they know what’s deemed as normal or act in a manner of vanity followed by judgmental absurdities, it makes me concerned for my future. Concern for pure; normalunbiased communication, the acceptance of similarities and differences. And the ability to accept those differences and let people create what makes them happy. The innocence of neutrality and banter, are not taught or learned anymore, we lost a step in our evolution due to digital communication and every other non-human stimulus you can ask for. It’s an all-out buffet of virtual- reality for society to use as their excuse for its lack of growth and sustained longevity. Ignorance is bliss and it rules the world we surround ourselves with, but like I said before it reveals who you are and you might wanna check yourself because of it!
Peace is Power Y’all!
Work Hard, Live Well!
