From rock bottom...

When everything looks like its about to crumble and fall --BANG!-- it all changes (again).



Darkness is part of life, trying to avoid would be as if one kept on not living at all.


Regardless of any negative feelings that we might have and all the destructive thoughts in our minds, we all know, deep inside, that life isn't static...


Nothing is forever, therefore, nothing is truly yours. Why to strugle so much over such ephemeral activities and materialistic sensations?


Once again, a new chapter of my life is about to begin. Hopefully the pain and sorrow won't follow as close this time.

The more you think the less you feel...

Have you ever wonder...?

Did you know that the human brain is not meant to think?

Philosophy, Math, the Fine Arts.

The brain is nothing but the center of the nervous system in all vertebrate and most invertebrate animals its function is to act on the rest of the body either by generating patterns of muscle activity or by driving secretion of chemicals called hormones. This centralized control allows rapid and coordinated responses to changes in the environment.

So, basically, the brain is responsible for senses as vision, hearing, balance, taste, and smell.

Though, if we would see this from a philosophical point of view, what makes the brain special in comparison to other organs is that it forms the physical structure that generates the mind.

As Hippocrates put it: "Men ought to know that from nothing else but the brain come joys, delights, laughter and sports, and sorrows, griefs, despondency, and lamentations."

I must agree with him... You see, the brain is responsible for your "feelings" as well. Though, this feelings are all "logical".

What makes you "feel" joys and sorrows? The the thinking that you've lost something because of "this particular reason" or the tinking that you like this for "that particular reason".

Have you ever noticed that you always know why you like or dislike something or someone?

"I like this because it smells nice, and looks pretty, and its usable"

"I don't like this because its annoying, looks dreadful and stinks"

We always look for the "whys" in everything, specially in our life choices:

"Why should I take this and not that?"
"Why did I do this mistake?"
"Why am I not like that?"

Seriously... what is the point of knowing the "why" in everything?

Sure thinking has its advantages regarding medical research and technology and of course the human being will always have the need to think, otherwise we woulnd't be able to feed our egos and to think of ourselves as better than others... like good narcisist assholes, but hey! try to separate society from living...

When was the last time that you've lost the strengh on your knees by just shaking someone's hand for the first time?

When was the last time that you're heart almost jumpped out of your chest after just looking at a landscape?

And how many times you've wondered WHY am I feeling this feelings...

The more you think WHY the less you feel reallity...

Don't think about this... just read it and try to leave day by day.

I'm pretty sure that most of you will not understand what I've just wrote, and haters' gonna hate. But I'm counting on the 1% (there is still hope).

Times like these...

Is times like these that makes the real "me" come out and put a boot right up my ... well you know where... I'm getting really used to it... it kinda feels like home.

Today, the most lonly day of them all. The more people I meet, the bigger becomes the emptiness inside...

Where are the people that usually suround us cheerfuly? Have they ever been there at all, I wonder...


This brings up a rather interesting subject... what is real?

Am I real? Are you? Whatever you look upon...

How can I be positively sure that I'm not part of someone's dream, that I'm not a product of someone's imagination, or perhaps, even my own...

Many people might dislike the movie "The Matrix", but since it came out I've identified it immediately with society (like most some people have, I hope). I mean... Let's not have the robbots taking over Human Kind and using us as living batteries (ROTFL), but instead having ourselves, the creators, the cradle of pure and raw uncounscienceness rebels.

The point here is not can you believe it, but would you?

Is it not safer to live by the thought that you are not responsible for your actions and destiny?
Descarding all responsability, which makes us alive and, and have some supernatural being handling it for us... Ridiculous if you ask me.

However, do not let yourself into believing that I'm actually making any sense here.

Loneliness its living proof that nothing matters...
Meaning? NOTHING, is it!
YES!

Now, seriously... and lets not try to be a bunch of smartasses here...

What happens if you insult someone?
If you kick some dude in the balls?
If you have money?

Tell me exactly what is the point of having society liking you?

Why shall I:

 - Not smoke (tobbaco, weed, whatever...)?
 - Not drink alcoholic beverages?
 - Not have sex whith who and how many people I want?
 - Not use abusive and insulting language?
 - Go to College (University)?
 - Have a good job (or a job at all)?
 - Own a car?
 - Get married and build up a family?
 - Be accepted by society?

What is the point exactly?
What are we living for? For WHO are we living?

Well, of course, if fitting in, and living so others can compliment you is what makes you happy, by all means... go ahead!

Though, if I rather be homeless than have to put up with your sacred society's rules, please, for the love of whatever is immportant to you, leave me alone, don't judge me for being an individual...

As always I doubt that someone will EVER understand what I've been writting... or saying... However, if you were brave enough to read the all thing through. Well, good for you.

Cheers

Some Japanese Culture

One of the most known aspects of the Japanese culture is Anime.
Since I'm such an Anime Fan I've decided to post some of my favorite Movies and Series, ever. Sure I've left tons of Animes out, but it would have been a HUMUNGUS list otherwise.

Hope you might find this post useful.

Nihilism

What is Nihilism? - you may ask.

Nihilism,(from the Latin nihil, nothing) is the philosophical doctrine suggesting the negation of one or more putatively meaningful aspects of life. Most commonly, nihilism is presented in the form of existential nihilism which argues that life is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value.

Moral nihilists assert that morality does not inherently exist, and that any established moral values are abstractly contrived. Nihilism can also take epistemological, metaphysical, or ontological forms, meaning respectively that, in some aspect, knowledge is not possible, or that contrary to popular belief, some aspect of reality does not exist as such.

• Mereological nihilism, disbelief in parts and wholes
• Metaphysical nihilism, disbelief in objects
• Epistemological nihilism, disbelief in knowledge
• Moral nihilism, disbelief in objective moral facts

The term nihilism is sometimes used in association with anomie to explain the general mood of despair at a perceived pointlessness of existence that one may develop upon realizing there are no necessary norms, rules, or laws.

Basically, and to keep it simple, Nihilism is a philosophical position which argues that Being is without objective meaning, purpose, truth, or value, which I must certainly agree with.

Below you'll find some Cultural Manifestations that you can relate to Nihilism:

TV series:
Seinfeld (TV Series 1990–1998)
Bleach character - Ulquiorra

Literature, that became rather known movies:
Watchmen
Fight Club

Music:
Sex Pistols - God Save The Queen Album


Nine Inch Nails - The downward spiral Album


Film:
The Big Lebowski
Full Metal Jacket

I've been a Nihilist since I can remember...
Honestly, I hate the fact that they had to come and put a tag on Nihilism as well...
Rather ironic, isn't it?

Pug Love

Have you met my puggy Kiraly?

Yes, his name is Hungarian, please do try to translate the name, you'll see how perfect it is for my pug.Pronounciation.















Most people tell me he's just like me (specially while he's sleeping) - "I don't gets it"







Below you can see how crazy he is:

Top 10 Solutions to improve Portuguese economy

As we all are aware (who cares) Portugal faces a crises never seen before, mostly thanks to corruption.

Also, it's interesting how Portuguese rather sit back and have someone "fighting" for them instead of doing it themselves... Well, the only thing Portuguese are good for is complaining and being ignorant...

Portugal could move from its €485 minimum wage and its 23% taxes on goods for at least a €1000 minimum wage and 15% on taxes if we would be in willing to do the follow:

Please note that this are only my TOP 10 Solutions, there are plenty more:

1 - No public official's wages should be higher than our President of the Republic's salary, which is €10.000 (pretty high for a guy that does nothing all day long anyway...)

2 - No public official should receive more than 1 (one) retirement pension... in Portugal there are WAY too may situations in which a person receives 3 pensions and all of them are over €5.000...

3 - Kick IMF - International Monetary Fund - (FMI) out of Portugal!

4 - No immigrant or non-immigrant should be entitled to receive subsidies of €500 if they have never worked and payed taxes in Portugal (or EU country) in their lives...

5 - The people who are fairly entitled to these subsides should not be receiving them if they are unemployed for over 3 months, and if they cannot find a job within this period, they should keep receiving the subsides ONLY as long as they would do communitary work (cleaning the streets, forests and so on... * NO FANCY JOBS * if they have no experience nor brains to forfiet the tasks and duties respectively.

6 - Being a congressman/assemblyman SHOULD NOT be a profession, therefore, this kin of politician should not be paid to be sitting on their asses pretending they are trying to improve Portugal...

In Portugal, an assemblyman is paid €3.708 (start salary) + benefits and has to work 8 years only in order to retire with his FULL pension (unf*ck*n'belivable if you ask me). Also, they very often (if not ALWAYS) do what I've mentioned in point #2.

7 - Kick IMF - International Monetary Fund - (FMI) out of Portugal!

8 - Have all Politicians (since 1986) returning all the money they've stolen from us!

9 - Never aid Banks again and make sure that they are not allowed to open bankrupcy, EVER AGAIN!

10 - Have the Military Forces NOT being paid for being sitting on their asses all day long... playing cards and watching TV (yes, that is what happens in Portugal, yeah, it is Taxes Money as well!).

Since our Polices Forces are living, walking targets, lets have the Military handling the crime in the cities. Shoot first, ask questions later.
