"You need questions, forget about the answers" - Over the Rhine

I believe it's largely impossible to truly and wholly know anyone. We live the vast majority of our lives in our heads and however hard we may try to express that part of ourselves to others, it is only ever truly known by ourselves. Nevertheless, I still like to analyse everyone and everything in my life. Rationalised comforts are still comforts and virtues are still subordinate to personal pride.

I also dislike corny institutionalised thoughts and perspectives such as "materialism = shallow", "cynical = miserable" or "spirituality = deep and meaningful". If you don't get how the aforementioned stereotypes are bull, please don't bother speaking to me until you do. Save yourself the time of rationalising that I'm just another shallow and arrogant a*****e who hasn't yet "found the light" - because the last thing I need is another pseudo-open-minded politically correct new age hipster giving me an ironic speech about how I'm a brain washed zombie to capitalism/consumerism.

"In love with love and lousy poetry" - The Weakerthans

In real life, I'm even more apathetic than I am on Gaia and for the most part, I don't act out the philosophies I hold. I'm currently also studying for my Bachelor of Laws at uni. I took law simply because I enjoy reading literature and social philosophies, and because I can actually see it leading to a well-paying career. I have no "heart-melting" or inspirational proclamations about how I want to save the world, join the UN Human Rights Committee and do volunteer work in all the third world countries out there. I know it would be 'kewl' for me to give you the impression that I'm a self-sacrificing altruist - but my lust for joy and romance in the world is really just self-centered; but if you're anything like me, you'll know that everything in life is arbitrary and being self-centered is an inescapable reality of consciousness. If you're offended by this or any of my philosophies, please learn to be a little less ******** insecure. Philosophies are simply reflections of life; they change nothing, only tell you how things already are and how they always were before you even came across the thought. Besides, the only people who attempt to take the altruistic path are those who want to distract themselves from their own problems.

Rereading everything, I realized that I should not attempt to debate at nearly 5 o'clock in the morning. Lol. Forgive my rambling, I'm terribly tired. I will try to keep my assumptions to myself, my dear.

Anywho, thanks. :] I hope you have a good evening. Er, morning.

Hearts change too by the way =)

Now you're just putting words in my mouth and assuming things. You aren't worth my time so this is my last reply. Bai.

To the commenter below since I can't comment back on your private profile: that was mostly a joke, though I am amused by your "but people have told me otherwise" response. Anyway, I think enough people in your thread have told you how your statement was incredibly ignorant and naive, if not suspiciously bitter. I'll just add that even temporal things are worth putting effort into. Life itself after all doesn't last forever, by your logic, no one should put any effort into life.

No, I'm not ugly. People say I'm hot all the time. o-O I don't think I'm ugly either. I think I'm rather exotic with all of my piercings and tattoos.
