Video Log 1: Important Things

Wisdom

I thought one thing and then I thought another.

Wisdom is not anything at all if no one knows it. It is also not anything at all if no one follows it.

If I write words and no reads them. They are worth nothing.

All existence is tied together. When one of us is falling, we are all pulled down. When one of us is rising, we are pulled up.

Belief should be chosen not based on its validity, but based on its ability to raise our minds to a level of understanding where hate is no longer an option, where selfishness is despised above all us.

Belief should be chosen based on its power to create. It should be chosen based on its power to unite. It should be chosen based on its power to endure all things, and its power to make the world safe again.

There is no use in belief that destroys. There is no use in belief that divides.

If God is evil and hates us, then that is not God. If God is good and loves us, then that is God.

If God wants us to cast each other out on the streets, then that is not God.

If God wants us to hold each other in our arms, then that is God.


If God wants us to condemn before understanding, that is not God.

If God wants us to understand before judging, that is God.

If God is merciful, then that is God. If God is vicious, that is not God.

God is good. The is no hate inside Him.


If you reject God because God is evil, then you have done nothing wrong because God is with you.

If you reject God because you are evil, then you are still evil and God is not with you.


There is no reason to reject anything at all besides that it is evil. Do not reject the falsities in your brothers and sisters. Embrace your brothers and sisters and only turn if you sense evil inside the embrace.

Trust, until you can't trust. Love, until you can't love.

Walk to the edge of the cliff to save a lost soul, but do not fall.

Walk to the edge of the cliff to save a lost soul who will most likely fall.

It is okay to see them fall. It is okay to see the dying.

And they will cry for you to jump, but you must not.

They will cry for you to slip, but be aware.

Your eyes are not sleepy.

Your eyes are always open.

After the City.

So I had a little thing on Sunday where I walked 20 miles until I got into the middle of Philadelphia. I posted the story on 20sb, so I don't think I'm going to repeat the whole thing. I would say the highlight of the trip would be when it was probably around 3 in the morning and I was lying on the sidewalk in the middle of the city because I felt like vomiting from exhaustion and probably dehydration from the intense sunburn I got that day.

Perspective is a good thing, I learned. I was always sort of scared of people, just in general, but lying on the sidewalk then with people glancing at me out of the corner of their eye in obvious fear, I understood. We are scared of nothing.

We are scared of the probably less than 1% chance that someone is going to try and hurt us, and we take it out on the rest of the 99% of people.

Our fear is probably something that puts us in more danger. There is no point to it.

Even if you do get robbed, if you are calm about it, it's probably going to go down a lot better. It's okay to love people even if they hurt you.

I'm not afraid of anything anymore. What is there to be afraid of? Love? Happiness? Trust? Misery? True human connection? Torment?

Okay, I am afraid of torment, but I am not afraid of people. We are all so scared of life. It's sort of cute.

okay to be.

True.

If I must speak truth.

I don't have to.

I only want to because I learn when I am honest.

I think I hate everyone.

I never want to say it because I don't want people to hate me.

I don't want people to think that I am an evil person.

It only goes away if I say it, though.

At least, the pain of it goes away if I say it.

I hate everyone because they are stupid.

People are stupid because they act without thought or the thoughts they have are not reasonable.

People are stupid because they don't believe in God when God is so obviously real. People are stupid for following evil desires when evil desires are so obviously hollow and without meaning.

I am stupid sometimes, but I am not as stupid as anyone else that I know of.

I hate people. I probably hate you. And you'll probably take offense to that because you're an idiot and think you don't deserve it. You do.

You definitely do.

I have never met anyone who doesn't.
