Re: The Reputation Hilarity/Insanity thread New version
Might be dragging the topic on a bit, but I had a pondering thought about my philosophies on the world.
To me, the world and everyone in it, is shit. I am part of the world, thus I too, am shit.
So I make it my mission to try and explain things and educate others, to make them and by extension the world, less shittier.
By doing so, I, by association, become less shitty.
Obviously the biggest caveat with "educating others" is that ever since the internet came around, knowledge has become such a wispy nebulous entity, that nearly nobody can or will trust anything you say, regardless its validity, so I try to stick to the utmost basic low-level knowledge possible.
Things like morality, history, nature, and/or simple common sense. Obviously since I have an ego, my opinions and general snark occasionally mix in with my preachings like someone pissing in the public pool, but the overall message one should take from things I post, is that I only care to enlighten others, not to "make them beleive what I say".. Nobody HAS to listen to a single thing I say.
We're all free to ignore each other, call each other idiots, or scoff at each other's opinions, but if we don't take the time to listen at least once in a while, even if just on a whim, then we really have become the grey lifeless inhospitable creatures that many like myself claim we are.
It's listening that made me stop using line breaks.. It's listening that made people who used to hate me how mildly respect what I post.. It's a magical thing.
EDIT: Congrats at your 999th post, dragoon. Satan's done a headstand, just for you!
