Brother we are all the same. Average people, low end people, high end people, those concepts are a sham. Yes, intelligence does come through by means of comprehension, but it doesn't bring someone outside the realm of "normal" and or "average." I can understand when saying "average" if talking about the average person not accepting civic duties and exercising civil rights, or even interests, but fuckin a man, the "average" person has probably been at the bottom of the barrel. Look up the numbers of how many Americans (sorry slappers who aren't american, well actually no, you might be lucky!) are prescribed psych. meds. Ask people how they've lost loved ones, when and in what way. Go to an NA meeting and see how many people are addicted to something.Even here, post a poll on how many people have been homeless, who has had a drug problem, who has gone off the deep end. You're appearing to be pretty normal to me at this point. And i'm not saying that as a bad thing, but when putting oneself in a category above others, or even outside in that context, you're going to be a miserable little bitch. we're just people home slice. Sometimes that takes a while to get a grasp on. Now i'm not trying to tell anyone what to do or how to live their life, but there are a few things that are like, so important to the world, that i don't really give a fuck about.... i do recommend buying yourself a minor threat record too, preferably the complete discography.
learn for themselves? it's a message board dude. a place to exchange attitudes and opinions. sometimes i think of it as a subpar open air squatters market.
i wasn't meaning it in a way that makes me "better" than anyone else. i think everybody on earth is just as good as anyone else. it doesn't matter if you're a billionaire executive or a farmer, as long as you're a good person deep down you're cool in my book. but you are right, i definitely did come across that way with the words i used. i guess i'll be honest. not that it's anyone's business but i have been diagnosed with the worst form of depression, and bipolar disorder.. like i said in other posts i've been to drug rehab three times. i've been in hospitals as well, not that i like to admit it. that's what i mean by what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. going through all that can do a lot of damage to someone's self esteem and reputation, but overcoming it all has given me a really good feeling lately.
like my friend drew has said.. it's not the heights you have risen but the depths you have climbed from. and that's a statement i truly comprehend. and just to let you know i've been to my fair share of NA and AA meetings. but what i realized is <b>you</b> have to truly want the desire to moderate or completely eliminate your self destructive habits. no amount of money or rehab can do it. i think that's why i made the mistakes i did, because of my older attitude that i wasn't as good/worthy as other people.. but honestly i'm glad i went through all that. i'm a happier person because i know what sad and miserable really is and how much better it is when you aren't.
