Anybody else tired of BS?

[racialreality9]

Now before all of you trolls with the oh so perfect lives come and post "suck it up" "work harder" "take prozac" etc. etc., let me explain exactly what it is I am complaining about.

I am not complaining about life, lack of success, or anything like that. People live, they do what they want, they die. It was this way 100 years ago, it is that way now, it will be that way 100 years from now.

What I am complaining about in this world is the BS. The unadulterated BS, flying at you all the time, 24/7, from the government, from other people, from the TV screen and computers. The entirety of our system is now, whoever can get away with and produce the most BS, wins.

Politics is BS. Business is BS. Marketing is BS. Religion is BS. Entertainment is BS. Sports is BS. Youtube, facebook, twitter, porn is BS. The internet is BS. Technology is BS. Heck even terrorism is BS - we created it! And promote it.

Everybody just comes at you with their stupid crap, all of the time, and it is relentless. There is no escape, even if you want to hole yourself up and protect yourself from the stench of all of the BS, you still have to go to work and what do people talk about at work - their stupid BS!

I'm just tired of all of these 7 billion odd monkeys on this planet thinking they are God's gift to the universe, and therefore it makes their BS holy. You are not special, you are just another creature who craps, will get old, and die. I don't care about your life, your opinion, how well you can smile or take off your clothes for the cameras, your wedding pics, your kids, how well you do your job. You are not impressive, you are not a god. You could disappear and 99.99999999% of us would not miss a beat.

And yes, this post is BS too. Thanks for your time.

One can always tune out and tune into themselves - learn to play a variety of musical instuments, the internet has free tutorials all over the place - everything is TRUE. No bullshit.

Let's have an experiment.

Why don't you disappear and we can test your hypothesis?

Disagree. Life is all kinds of things, BS is simply one part. I was trying to think of some way of saying it's all good like a t-shirt print. But I was having a hard time. So I leave with a poem, one of many posted on this site.

Desiderata

"Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy."

Max Ehrmann

I couldn't help noticing the time stamp on your post. Did you wake up feeling that way?

Being dead is BS also..

Amen to this! My newest favorite singer is not here anymore and I hate it!!! I want the late beautiful precious Billy Joe Royal back here so that I can put my arms around him, tell him to his face that I love him, and tell him that I regret my not finding him sooner.

God bless you and his family always!!!
