Alchemy and Faith

but I’ll share something that I’ve come to grips with recently.  To be honest, I think this is something I’ve had to come to grips every few months or so since high school.

Some people in this world will always do whatever they want, no matter what anybody else says.

I’m not trying to get down on people who follow their heart and try to do their own thing.  I’m just observing that some people are so self absorbed in their own world that everything looks gray to them.  The problem is: things aren’t ALWAYS gray.

There are times when you SHOULD feel guilty for things you do. I’m not asking you to take a razor blade to your thighs, just admit remorse or change your attitude.  People as a whole are understanding.  The notion of the value that repentance has is engrained deeply in all of us.

But for those people who constantly buck and thrash against everything in this world that gives guidelines for decent living: I think you’re fucked.  Too much reliance on reason and logic drives people to insanity.  So go ahead and rationalize everything away in your head and sleep better at night.  You’re just a well-rested drain on society’s resources.  I think more highly of a man that has robbed and hurt people but recognized the error of his ways and apologized than I do of you.

But of course, you don’t care about my jaded opinion anyway.  Enjoy your life, but for the sake of everyone else around you: please don’t have children.
