My last piece for the evening

Okay, so here's something you can start to do consciously that will lead to you saving the world: STOP FAKING REALITY.
This will involve two things:Honesty and Integrity. I could make a LONG list of examples, but I think that 15-20 will suffice:
  • Quit pretending to like things that you do not like
  • Quit pretending to be happy when you are not
  • Quit pretending that you like people that you do not like
  • Quit supporting ideas that you do not embrace
  • Quit embracing ideas that you cannot live realistically
  • Quit creating these "support groups" of "like-minded people" when really, you don't like each other that much
  • Quit hating people that you have no reason to hate
  • Quit denying your own strengths and weaknesses
  • Quit denying the strengths and weaknesses of others
  • Quit pretending that you have to do or say something in a certain situation
  • Quit pretending that you don't have to do or say something in a certain situation
  • Quit pretending that you are a victim
  • Quit pretending that you are not victimizing someone

    Anyways, I could go on and on forever, but the point here is simple: Really, really, think for yourself, and then live accordingly. Are you always going to be right? No. Will you always be honest? Yes. Will you always get along with people? No. Will people always know where you stand? Yes. Once again, paraphrasing Rand, you really only have to do one thing when you deal rationally with rational people: Judge, and prepare to be judged. That's right. Item three is Justice. You should always be prepared to assess any situation, and judge accordingly to your beliefs. Simply say to yourself "is this right?" If the answer is anything but "yes" then it's wrong. There's no such thing as a little bit of wrong, and little bit of cheating, a little bit of killing, a little bit of stealing. Read over this, and really think it over. Tell me what you THINK.
