To Tell Others: Advice or Opinions

29 June 02012 (355 days ago)382 views3 minutes of your time

Here we are in the last days of June… Summer has officially arrived, school is out for the season, the days grow a little more lazy and for the second year in a row I continue partaking in my daily blogging exercise, marginally focused along a question-and-answer theme I’ve simply called Those 30 posts in June. Still no planning. Still no writing of these words days in advance. Still just this: each day a meanderingly vague prompt drives a meanderingly vague post… and today that post just happens to be:

June 29th // Something You Want To Tell Others

So, I was thinking and I wanted to suggest a few things for your consideration…

Most people who give advice or opinions also have an agenda, even me ● technology makes it very easy to hide an agenda ● technology is a tool for both good and evil ● evil is subjective ● goodness is even more subjective ● morality is so subjective most people can’t even define it ● cynicism is bad, but skepticism is powerful ● knowledge is also power, so be a knowledge junkie and learn as much as you can about everything ● power is free, but spending it often has costs ● there is no such thing as free ● everybody lies, and any exception you can think of is only someone who is better at it than most ● always take the red pill ● never justify taking the red pill, to yourself or anyone else ● if someone asks you to dance, then dance ● if a child asks you to play, then play ● if a child asks you a question, tell them the answer only after they’ve tried to answer on their own ● treat others as if tomorrow really was opposite day ● if you can, use your legs as often as possible ● if you can, use your brain as often as possible ● before you debate anything, form your own opinions (no, really) ● be wary of the word “natural” and always remember that nature is actually trying to kill you ● eat well ● drink socially ● potatoes don’t count as vegetables, particularly once they’ve been deep fried or fermented ● you should run ● you should dream of flying but keep your feet on the ground ● sports are wonderful, but pro sports are corporations designed to make money ● corporations are just fine, but they are not people and are not owed our allegiance ● enough money will make you happy, but more money than that will not make you happier ● games are not just for kids ● kids are not just for parents ● parents need to be whole people to win the game ● there is no point to the game, it just is, so deal with it ● your beliefs are the eyelids to your heart, mind, and soul ● your heart will get over it ● your mind will wander of its own accord ● your soul is whatever you want it to be, but so is mine ● be yourself ● challenge yourself ● choose the hard way ● share ● live and let live ● and never, ever listen to anyone selling advice or opinions, even me…

Brad thinks you might have noticed that many of the assets (images, videos, links, etc) have long since stopped working for the really old pages of this blog. Someday he might get around to fixing that, but for now thinks you should read the new stuff instead and stop getting all hung up in the past. Dude.
