I guess what I was trying to say was I felt afraid of a future based on newly introduced ideas, as opposed to a world built on shallow ideas I have known for quite some time. Fear of the unknown. It protects me from failure, but also keeps me from success! See you did it again, Mac! It You cause a domino effect (affect?) in my head!
You always make me think, Mac. Perhaps too much. Although what you say is insightful, it almost depresses me to think I should stop what I'm doing, because it is based on shallow philosophies of the world. Then again, I don't think I could ever stop watching your videos. Keep it up.
our thoughts are the only mechanism that brings forth this illusion of seperation. In all goes to the dirt, and all dirt circulates and evaporates into space, the everywhere from everything. What is real, is Now, and Now you are aware of yourself, you are alive, so live your life.
Life is yours to live, you have your own mind... so when minds agree on a certain area, or subject, they are allowed to follow through with it. If other minds disagree with those minds.. then they are also allowed to follow through with their actions and thoughts. Its enevitable that what goes around comes around, Time is an illusion and space is everywhere... there is no center cause the center is everywhere.. the circumfrance if our percievance..
...Or maybe you should get drunk and then go vote! Actually I would like to see people not vote, because when they vote they are just buying into something they usually don't believe in. Anyways the whole things rigged.
HEY......You are biased specially as regards drinking. Not every body gets wasted by booze and you will find that drink facilitates social discourse.
If you have to do business with the German Army......The O.I.C. will clap his hands, a corporal will appear, produce glasses and fill them with Schnapps..... everybody swallows the fire water and business begins.
A couple of friends of mine like to tell me how I should live my life, what I am doing wrong, and so on. It is as if they believe that the lives they live are perfect--that if only everyone would just do as they do the whole world would be at peace.
What I have come to learn is that no one really is ever at peace. There is always some desire lurking in the shadows.
There is no one right way to live life.
Do what you feel is right, not as others would do.
yes if we truly were the same in every regard, every desire and motion would be to the same effect. BUT the problem is when we all want the same thing... but theres not enough to go around. or if everyone wants to be a police officer but not a fireman... what happens when theres a fire??? lol, but its kinda true...
In reference to what you said about the idea of voting, ideally the democracy we have in this country promotes allowing it's people to elect representatives, who will, by extension, represent their ideologies. However, as I think you were implying, history has shown us that power and influence is almost always distributed amongst a small demographic in a society, and their will is imposed on the majority, whether overtly or covertly. Thus,the question remains,is there a solution to this problem?
I believe the way to live is trying to understand life as we know it, kind of like you do in your videos Mac. I'd like to spend my time doing that, but I just don't have any excuses.
Voting means NOTHING if its just following a stupid trend, in fact its counterproductive. I've heard the worst reasons why ppl voted on November. I actually heard:
I'm voting for McCain...cuz all my friends are.
I'm voting for Obama...cuz its cool.
THAT'S NOT VOTING, its being a sheep. I haven't heard any presidential candidate follow the constitution once, therefore I didn't vote.
Mac is right about voting as just putting blind faith in someone you don't even know. Self-rule FTW
Hmm, you seem to be thinking less clearly in your newer videos. What is it to look out for yourself? Being able to wrestle a mountain lion, or catch a fish with your bear hands? I'm not sure those are skills that apply to today's world. Similarly, what use is martial arts in modern society? It may be an exciting hobby, and a fun way to keep in shape,but since you also mentioned guns I will assume that you are focusing on the combat aspect. You WILL have a pres./gov./mayor, vote to your interests
Mac's gonna learn himself some martial arts and gun slinging for when the world goes up in flames and we all have to combat mutant zombies n' shit in a nuclear wasteland. In the mean time, I'll be planning on how to sequester Costco in the most efficient way.
how to live - as if every second of it could be your last because someday it will be.
how to live as you please but don't be too hard on yourself just in case things don't always work out as you like it to be or as you planned it to be.
you find your own way. make you're own decision fallow your own path create our own destiny. you control your life. you live the way you want to live. the way that makes you happy. that's my opinion anyways.
rebellion is one of the most common things next to conforming

Actually, I think he is right on one thing, if everyone were the same, they would be at peace, because there would be no disagreements.

voting = making an informed decision and taking control (albeit indirectly) of your destiny
not voting = letting others make decisions for you

I do agree.
Everybody lives their lives differently, but yet, not really.
Every group has some role model they live their lives to.
Whether it be the Christians to Christ,
the Preps to Britney Spears,
and et cetera.
But that doesn't mean anyone is right.
But to be right, to what are we comparing ourselves to?
Or better yet, to whom?..
