Lips Sealed Shut

Are you familiar with this conversation;

"Stop arguing and just listen to what I said!"
"Why would I do that"
"Because I'm your parent(or seniors) and I know what's best for you!"
"So you're implying that you're better than god?"
"I didn't say that! Now don't you smart-mouthed me young man"
"So you're implying that I'm smart?"
"Why is it so hard for me to talk to you? Why don't you just do what you're told?"
"Because you're not god and I'm not worshipping you."

Maybe the last line rarely comes out. Or maybe not. Such conversation are commons occurrence that involves parents, children, spouses, partners etc.. Like I mention in my previous post, people tends to dictates people. It's in their nature. But they can almost never explained it properly why are they like that. They don't know what they're doing and they expect us to follow them? That's totally absurd. What Einstein have to say about this?

He got the the point through. If you don't understand it, then you by definition are stupid. At least by my definition you are. Maybe you got another words for that, but it doesn't matter. What matter is that why should we blindly follow the one who is "blind"?

What can you tell me about the blind leading the blind? The blind may lead the blind to a certain point but it's not practical. It, would not even be considered an option unless there are no other options. And what's more is that when the following blind started to see, and try to convince the blind leader that he/she can see, only to be told by the blind leader that he/she is a fool. He/she is still blind so keep following him. How can he/she convince the blind "leader" that the "leader" has been blind for his whole life and he/she can help him see simply by opening his eyes? Should we force his eyes to open? Will it be better for him? Or simply let his eyes close and let him stray "happily" blinded? Like they say;

"Ignorance is Bliss"

The truth really hurts. I can generally put it that if it doesn't hurt, it's not the truth. Life is never easy. It's a test. It wouldn't be a test if it's easy right? Well, it can be easy if you are prepared of some sort. Just like the public exams, professionals exams etc.. The test of life is basically the same. You need a guide of some sort. And for me, the only true guide is the GOD. Einstein believes in god. Do you? Well, let's us hear more from Einstein;

Well, that's most probably true. People using people. I think I read about it somewhere before. Oh well. Let me quote a smart phrase from Eddie Griffin;

"It doesn't matter who the messenger is, did you get the message?" 

-Eddie Griffin

That can't be further from the truth. People keep fighting "in the name of religion". Shit! They didn't even know or fully understand their religion. If they truly get the messages, people would not be doing anything. people will only be kept thinking. People will become smarter and smarter but keep feeling stupider. But that is not what GOD intended. What happens is what GOD intended. GOD want "stupid" people to exist to feed the "smart" people and GOD want the "smart" people to keep teaching the "stupid" people. Or else we got nothing to do in this world and it wouldn't be fun. Maybe next time I'll tell you the boring story of being an angel or demon. But that's for next time.

Until next time, salam.

Smartass

How can anyone decide this? Are you smart? Am I stupid? What is smart? Everybody is stupid? Why should anyone decide? Simple actually. I am going to tell you every last bit. Bear with me.

The reason for this labels is not because to show that you are actually smart or stupid. It's to group you in the society that you live in. You can never actually rank a person intelligence because you can never know what intel a person have. The more intel you have, the more you want to keep it for yourself right? To gain superiority among other people. And the more others don't know about you, the more afraid they will be. That's just plain human. We like to dictates people. We have the tendency to be a "dick" -tator. You, me and every living human on this tiny planet called earth.

Are you willing to call the "smart-ass" above just that or you would call him smart? He answers brilliantly in my opinion. But most people in my country would called it "loyar buruk" or simply what english speaking person would say, "smart-ass". Why he got an "F"? Because he did not comply with the standards that the society compels him to. Why with the standards? So that people can be ranked in the society? And who got the highest rank in the society? The people that never even have to undergoes the test itself. They just came into your life, tell you what to do, and do it for them. And they always say, "We care". Fuck that! The only things that people do actually, or to put it more precisely, can only do, is care about themselves. Seriously. We can not care about others more, or we will be dead. But even the people who opted death for others(martyr) actually cares about themselves more. They just don't want to face more problems living.

So, should you be "smart"? Get aces on all subjects, degree, phd? You should, if you want to always be dictated and stay at the bottom of the food chain. Or you can be the "dick" that took everything and keep convincing people that they care. So the option is actually goes like this;

Are you going to be a "dick" or a "pussy"?

Or are there more than that? Like I always said;

There is always more 

-Ammar Zufar 

You can opt to think, and do nothing. That's what all the thinkers do throughout the history. They always think and rambles about their opinions and knowledge(and do nothing), and the "pussies" have to learn everything about it, and the "dicks" always get what they want by manipulating these said "pussies". And you are going to stop reading because I'm being vulgar. Fuck that! They're just words and expression. And I'm just relaying my emotion. And that's art! Anyway, are you actually thinking that just because you are not "smart", you are stupid? Or are you the guy who thinks that you're too smart and everyone else is stupid? I don't care. But you should care if you want to continue living. And that's that. Just simply thinking doesn't make you smart, it'll just make you feel stupider. Because the more you think, the more you realize that there's more that you do not know. How can anybody be smart?

Till next time, salam.
