I dont care

I don’t want to question my beliefs. I don’t want to change my ways. Why should I? Seriously, human beings have always been violent. We have always been at war. This is the way we are. This present civilization will disappear like all previous civilizations. There is nothing we can do about it. There is no meaning with it. There is no change in the collective consciousness going on. Paradigm shifts, Jesus Christ what nonsense. You are so fuckin out there. Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we're going to die. I have my beliefs and you have yours. I'm not trapped in my own thinking. Fuck you! I try to be realistic. Go ahead! Do what you want. I don’t care.

Imagination

Both religious and scientific minded people use their imagination when they try to understand what this world is like. What would we do without our imagination?

Creationists or evolutionists

Creationists believe that the world was created by a God who has a purpose with it. Evolutionists believe that our world is a result of stupendous but blind random processes. No one knows for sure why we are here but, to my mind, it doesn’t make much difference. To me it can be either way or maybe some other way. The problem with the creationists is that they also add tons of other beliefs to their agenda. They are mostly extreme right-wingers who believe in an unregulated market, a strong army and the unimportance of care for the environment because the judgment day will be here soon anyway. It is the same with the evolutionists. They also carry lots of other beliefs in their heads. Where are all these beliefs coming from? Are they really necessary?

I don’t care if people are evolutionists or creationists. I don’t think that such beliefs are very important. However, if people around me are racist or if they vote for extreme right-wingers I complain. I am not indifferent.

Escape

There are many way to escape the reality, excessive work, excessive exercise, excessive drinking, excessive reading, spending all free time watching stupid stuff on TV or playing stupid computer games all night…

It seems as if most people try all they can to escape what is here and now. Why do we feel that we desperately have to escape? What is the mechanism behind it? Why do we feel that we have to make ourselves much more stupid or silly than we actually are?

Are we afraid of the reality? Are we afraid of the now? The now can be quite pleasant but we try to escape it anyway. Why is that? Is it out of habit? Why is it so difficult to just relax now and then and simply do nothing?
