1.More Things Left to Say

Why must one defend their own ideology against others? Many fear that others’ criticism will change their own and they feel the need to fight against all criticism. Many simply cannot bear even the idea of living amongst people with different ideologies, of their own or not. They fight and fight, wasting their lives in endless arguments and for what? To stay true to one’s ideology one mustn’t fight criticism but to simply ignore it and live amongst their fellow men peacefully, without the need to change others’ ideologies to one’s own and without the fear that others’ criticism will change one’s ideology. Even if the entire world criticizes one’s ideology one must stay true to one’s own and live passively. Ignorance is a horrible thing but ignoring others’ when they try to start arguments is an art. Otherwise, one will end up a grumpy hateful old man who’s most peaceful time is death because he couldn’t even sleep well. It is not true the saying that goes: one learns the ways of the intelligent through the pruderies of the stupid. The truth is that only the intelligent can learn in such ways whilst the stupid will only join the prude and becomes even more idiotic.
The three best words that humanity needs for a healthy, enjoyable life, the three words that if used correctly, can save lives, these are the words that I use very often: I don’t care. I can only dream of the day that humanity will all say we don’t care and each will live their own lives with no harm towards their fellow people, neither physically nor mentally.



2.Honor

In the past governments started wars to cause genocide. Division has been spread across the lands of earth and people have been taught to fight for their countries. Although many believe that governments are to blame, I believe in the fault of the individual. Each person has been brainwashed that other people from other countries are their enemies and that they must fight for their countries’ honors to survive. Fight for what? Can’t you see how bloody stupid this is? If in each war the individual realised that borders were made up only by humanity and that they are not worth fighting and killing their fellow people for, and if the individual passed such knowledge to the next individual, and if all soldiers on all sides decided to stop their massacres at once, who would be left to fight the war? Let the politicians eat each other up, why must the people fight their fellow people? Why must people die for things we made up ourselves? Honor is just a false word. Countries, cities, towns, villages, none of these exist! Borders have been made up by us and now we kill each other to defend what we made up and what we can so easily tear down if we join forces and come together. If only we refuse to fight. One might say that the people were brainwashed, I say they allowed themselves to be brainwashed, war would’ve been avoided if all, not just one side but all gained the knowledge that life is better off in peace. That is what we should’ve stood for, that is what we should stand for. But we rather believe that our country is superior and that other fellow people from different sides of earth are our enemies. We are not brainwashed, we choose to be ignorant. We often forget or never even realise that to wish death upon death wishers turns us into death wishers ourselves. To call someone the scum of the earth you have willingly chosen to become part of the scum. You are rubbing the scum to yourself and you know it, but you choose to ignore your own in order to focus on and judge others’ actions.



3.Totalitaria

Nowadays things are different. Many believe that we are in peace and that war is finally over. Those are too blind to see the world humanity is falling into as a whole. Some believe that it is all the fault of the elite and that this phenomenon was planned, they believe that more and more people are getting brainwashed by the media, perhaps they are correct, or perhaps this “elite” they speak of, only tried to help and to progress technology. But here’s something you should know, it truly doesn’t matter. The problem is and always will be, in the mind of the individual. The media does not force people into a way of life, it shows them things based on their ways of life. Even if social media does try to sneak hatred into the mind of the people, they are the ones that give into the hatred when they can so easily ignore and use the media as they please. No one is holding anyone at gunpoint. I myself use social media sometimes and it brings me nothing but joy. I do not allow myself to get involved in arguments full of hatred. Why can’t you? If humanity is turning into angry people, it is only and only the individual’s fault alone. Each individual decides what to do with the privileges given to them, and many choose hatred. You can blame governments and secret societies for controlling the world, but one can only control one’s mind and when one is controlled it is only because they allowed themselves to be controlled. The world is in each and every single one of our hands, not in “their” hands, whoever you like to blame. To change society to an at least, less aggressive place, one must acknowledge and accept that it is their own fault for how aggressive it has become, and decide to change something for whatever they believe as the better, on their own will and morale.
Now allow me to elaborate more on the phenomenon at hand. Society is becoming a “peaceful” place, not an actual peaceful place. People have become in constant fear that their honor is at risk. They cannot comprehend individuality and therefore demand everyone to be the same as them. They have become sensitive, weak minded. They are constantly trying to defend themselves because they have made enemies out of their fellow people in their own minds and as this spreads, all are becoming afraid of each other and are in constant battle. They cannot accept their differences anymore. Their minds have become completely busy in an idiotic battle against nothing. The saying “To each their own” has lost all meaning. And equality’s meaning has completely changed. Once a word used to show what people all had in common, their desire to live amongst each other in peace despite all their differences, has now become a word that demands there should not be any differences at all. People are becoming angry little balls of hatred, ready to burst at any opposition, any question, any free thought. Us against them. You against me. Him against her. All against one another. The earth is turning into a giant battlefield. My friends, war is not over at all, it has only changed it’s form to something that cannot be stopped by any peace treaty. War has become cyber. It has ascended to the internet, which leads to our families, our homes, our rooms, our beds(our most personal spaces basically), and worst of all, our minds. Who doesn’t own a phone these days? One could say that the media is portraying such hatred as a big event and within its true form it contains only a minority of humanity and that most people don’t care. Even if that was true, which from personal experiences I would strongly doubt, it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist, and the hatred is only being provoked with more hatred. It’s spreading. My friends, we are doomed to totalitaria, I’m afraid. Everyday we move closer to a world where people are only allowed to think alike, referred to as robots, although I say, robots are programmed but the human programs oneself therefore it is much much worse. We move towards a world where the individual does not allow oneself to think and to be in calm and peace so that one can actually choose their decisions and think about what to do next, and it will be no fault of any higher power. It will only be each individual’s fault alone. Thinking, deciding, explaining, conversating, debating, freedom, these are things that take effort, and the people have chosen to never put any effort into anything. Technology only leads the way people choose for it to lead, there will never be an era of artificial intelligence taking over, we will become the artificial intelligence. This has been the goal of the communist from its very first foundation. And guess what? Communism has become a trend in the new generation. It is once again being portrayed as humanity’s only way to salvation, and this time, the lies spread worldwide. Many believe that we are doomed because of climate change, and although it’s true that summers are getting only hotter and hotter, I would not be concerned with climate change as people forget that there are many freezing cold places on earth that will still be habitable when the heat rises to dangerous levels, humanity is here to stay for a very long time until earth falls into the eternal darkness, and within our last era we will suffer significantly under worldwide totalitaria, with no one to blame but each and every one of ourselves, period.



4.I’m Nøt

A human rights activist you say? But do you even know what it means to stand for all of humanity? Different ethnicities, different sexualities, different people, feminism, capitalism, marxism, communism, socialism, veganism, atheism, theism, spiritualism, natalism, anti-natalism, nihilism, existentialism, sadism, masochism, individualism, this ism, that ism, ism, ism, ism, ist, ist, ist. Which side do you consider yourself on? How about you make up your own ism and ist right now and shove it up your ass?
Although many of these words are a way to express oneself in an easier way to communicate and share what one believes, which is completely fine, the problem begins when the individual considers oneself as part of a group and refers to such words as groups of people with the same ideologies, not the ideologies themselves, division. Don’t you see that no two or more people believe in the exact same thing? And that each individual has their own interpretation of the supposed “same” belief? No two or more people will ever think the exact same way, so why divide ourselves into different groups and separate each other from our fellow people. Why lose the individuality, when the individuality of the conscious mind is the only thing that separates us from other beings. As soon as one considers oneself as part of a group, they kill their own individuality. Us against them. This is only supporting division furthermore. I will example myself here, I consider myself to be an atheist, as in, I have decided against the idiotic blind belief in one or more creators, but I do not consider myself as a part of the atheist people as I would not fight against my fellow people to change their minds, I simply ignore what I don’t agree with, I do not allow myself to lose my individuality and to think that I belong to a group of people above others. I consider myself to be sort of nihilistic as nihilism makes the most sense to me although I would never even consider the idea that I know nihilism for a fact and I do not wish to be part of a group, again because I do not wish to argue with others over what they should or should not believe. I consider myself to be an anti-natalist as in, from my own morals, I believe procreation to be the worst of all crime as it can be so easily avoided, and it is completely unnecessary for the healthy life of neither the individual nor the couple, in fact it is rather unhealthy as well, for most people as simply do not know how to handle children, unlike what the majority believes, and even though it pains me to see children born, again, I do not consider myself an activist because I do not wish to be against others. I do not wish to care, so I can’t care less. I’m not. I consider myself what I’d like to call The Middle Pøint. Not as in, I think I am the center of the universe, I know that we are all simply made of small substances made of even smaller substances and so on, so why should I? No, to lose oneself within oneself and to be an individual who sees oneself higher than their fellow human will only make one believe that it is them against all and that leads to a life full of hatred and can only cause harm, self harm moreover. Paradoxically by believing oneself to be special and therefore wishing to constantly protect oneself from others one only causes harm to oneself, exactly the opposite of what one wishes for. What I mean by the middle point is to be passive. To live life without the need to protect oneself from others because one knows that they are strong enough to be open to people while keeping one’s individuality no matter how hard others try to push their own upon one, and to live without the need to push one’s own onto others. To live one’s life to the fullest amongst their fellow people and not against them, but also not necessarily with them either, because the people one befriends could end up fighting against others and so to be truly passive one must never join forces with any groups of people.
A phenomenon that is happening around the world right now is that the people who have been oppressed because they've been considered different in the past are now considered different, simply in another way. We didn’t get rid of the problem, we changed its shape. People with different colored skins, the LGBTQ+ “community” as they like to call themselves, feminists which include many sexists portraying not to be, and many foolish people who don’t even realise that feminism is a word that only contains of feminine people implying mostly to women. Even the word humanist is only implying to humanity and not the animals, although we can turn a blind eye to that and take it in as someone who considers everyone’s rights. Other words such as feminism, only imply further division which ironically is what they say they are against. All of such groups I’ve mentioned are now competing to be the most “oppressed” and to gain the most attention. It is true that these people have been oppressed in the past but that is only in the past and giving such people special attention because of it, is only supporting division furthermore and dehumanizing these people. If in the past most people looked down upon them for looking or acting differently and allowed themselves to massacre, torture, inslave and imprison them, now they are considered “oppressed” groups of “minorities” which again divides them from the common folk. Giving these people special attention to consider them valuable people only backlashes into idiotic people getting sick of them and hating them, racists, sexists, and homophobes disguising themselves as supportive, and worst of all, the so called “minorities” will begin to think themselves as higher than others due to incidents that only belong to the past which causes more division and hatred. They become aggressive and suspicious towards their fellow people and they constantly fear to be hated and even go on to assume acts of hatred from passive people. Their constant lookouts for acts of hatred actually weakens their minds and instead of standing strong against hatred they break into hateful people themselves, constantly fighting a war that in many scenarios doesn’t even actually exist outside their minds. It is okay to call people that have lesser amounts in society, uncommon, but it is not okay to consider them different people that deserve less or special treatment, either way they are not being considered individual people just like anyone else, they are either hated, or more valuable than others, which is either to the left or to the right, not to the middle, and that goes off balance. The only people that do deserve special treatment are the mentally and or physically disabled because they can’t take care of themselves alone and need our help. Although they are the least helped people on earth which goes to show just how wrong we have approached civilization.
I must say, I’m not even concerned for humanity and I could not careless. In fact I hope for humanity to go extinct sooner so that there would be no chance of reincarnation left. I am that selfish! One could say I’m sort of anti-human because of it. And yet even I can see how wrong the turns we’ve taken are.
If you call yourself a human rights activist I have a surprise for you, you’re not! And the reason why leads us to the next subject.



5.Rotten Justice

What is a crime? If not accidental, a crime is an act of aggression towards a fellow human. Any fellow human. Even the people considered scum. We live in a world where criminals are hated by a majority of people despite the fact that the numerals of crime are only rising. Have we been blind to see that fighting against hateful people gives them further motivation to hate even more? To understand and to help is the way to fix the core of the problem, to kill and to punish indecently, only leads to more hatred, from the criminal when punished indecently, and from the criminal's loved ones when killed. Justice is a word that has lost all meaning and is used by common folk to take out their anger on criminals. Hateful acts towards hateful people only supports hatred and that is under no circumstances, just. The law needs to help criminals to become the rational people they once were. What many fail to realise is that what causes a human being to hurt another is delusion. And delusion can be temporal if only someone helps them to come out of it. Of course at the end of it all the criminal must come to the conclusion that they’ve been under delusion themself and there are people who will never deny their own and snap out of it. For those, life imprisonment is the only solution. The law needs to understand that all of victims’ demands for harmful acts to be done to the criminals come from temporal anger and the law mustn’t be persuaded by the wish of the irrational victim. Under no circumstances is execution a justified action to do, because no matter how many were hurt and killed, killing one more will never change anything. The irrational victim who’s been filled with hatred needs to be assigned to a professional psychologist to be helped understand the situation and how not only harmful acts towards the criminal doesn’t change the crime that has already happened, it only fills the criminal and the victim with more harmful baggage that is hatred. The victim needs to be rationalized and they need to understand that the criminal is still human despite whatever they’ve done. If the victim refuses and doesn’t let go of their hatred, they also need to be imprisoned by the law much like the criminal, in case they harm anyone, because that is how criminals are made, people who’ve been hurt and couldn’t let go of their hatred, living as their hatred piled up, they eventually hurt either the person who’ve hurt them or, and since in most scenarios criminals are caught and imprisoned possibly for life, this is more probable to happen which is even worse, they’ll be unable to hurt the same person that hurt them so they’ll take out their anger on someone else, or they might take on a more masochistic route and take it out on themselves. What they'll do is based on the victim’s way of thinking but either way they’ll hurt somebody. That is why the law needs to take care of both the criminal and the victim, but they don’t, do they? Psychology has been arguing that people’s way of thinking is all based on the circumstances they had throughout childhood and it is not based on the individual’s rationality at the moment or at least not completely, I personally lean onto the more individual side of things and say he who hurts is to blame despite of how he’s been hurt himself, but whether its fully up to the individual or they’ve shaped based on past circumstances, it doesn’t even matter. What matters is that they’ve chosen to hurt others as of now and they need help to be able to think rationally again. That is unfortunately, exactly the opposite of what all prison systems of all countries do, helping. After getting caught the criminal has to live inside a prison where the guards make the rules. In prison, criminals are ripped of all human decency and although some fools may see that as deserved “punishment”, the environment of the prison only brings up more hatred within all the prisoners, not to mention any prisoners that have been sentenced to imprisonment from accidental acts and did not harm out of hatred will also turn into actual criminals full of hatred and aggression towards their fellow people because not only they all get treated like animals by indifferent guards but they also get treated hatefully by their own fellow prisoners which is only natural because forcefully shoving hateful people in a building together will only bring out the worst in them all. In prison it is much harder to make a friend than it is in school. Although in some countries including mine, both environments are unsurprisingly similar in toxicity. But we’ll get to that matter later. With prison systems like this it is obvious that the crime rate will always be on the rise. The least that the law could do would be to have decent, thoughtful superiors check on all prisons to make sure that guards don’t treat the criminals indecently, and each prisoner be assigned a professional psychologist who will have to try their best to help the criminal come to their senses. If the criminal refuses they still must not be treated indecently and they should be sentenced to life in prison until they either come to their senses and be freed or die of old age. But to have our prison systems changed to such ways the people need to protest and to stand against the government until they agree to change the law. And all that having been said, I doubt the people will ever do such a thing. Humanity thrives on chaos. The media is becoming a place to criminalize people. People get criminalised therefore treated indecently because of mere rumors with no proof, causing them to suffer or in some cases, to even lose their lives. People are quick to hop onto assumptions when they are hurtful, but doubtful when it comes to assumptions that speak highly of others. We are so busy in rumors and gossip, trying to make criminals out of others to ever even consider helping actual criminals. Not to mention the false belief of good and evil caused by religions and false morale fills us with hatred towards criminals. People are willing to fight to get a criminal killed or imprisoned even if they are not involved in the case at all and have absolutely no knowledge of the crime and the criminal’s guilt. We picture criminals as if they’ve come from a different planet, as if they’re not human, and we treat them that way. When we hear the words: traitor, murderer, rapist, child molester, drug addict, et cetera, we get high on our horses and immediately think that we are better than them, that they don’t deserve to live and to be helped because they’ve hurt others. And through our judgment we are hurting others whether we realise it or not. We forget that any criminal can become an average helpful part of society again, no matter what they did, because we don’t see them as humans, and until we ourselves or one of our loved ones become involved in criminality, we do not even consider that under the criminals circumstances we may have done even worse things. If one knew the life story of someone whom they’ve been hurt by, there’s a chance they might even feel empathetic towards the criminal despite how harmful the crime. If people would only take the chance to know the criminals, they would be able to find and understand the route of the criminals' struggles. But the people do not even wish to accept that a fellow human being who has fallen under the ugly control of hatred is struggling much like you and me do throughout our lives and that they need help even more than you and me, because their circumstances have been worse for them to end up as criminals. When we hate such hateful people, making them feel isolated and against the whole world, we might pride ourselves because the law we created doesn’t call us criminals for our hatred, only “their” hatred, and we hide under the false belief that because of that, our actions are just, but in reality, we are no different than them, exactly the same in fact. We have allowed ourselves to be filled with hatred exactly like they did and thus this endless cycle of criminals continues through our hatred. What a beautiful world! To torture a human being even if they murdered your entire family, you have allowed yourself to be filled with hatred and anger which has caused you to do horrible things to a human much like they did to your family and yet you’d still say that you’d never hurt an innocent human forgetting that in the murderer’s mind they are the innocent one, and until you change that, no matter how much you torture them and isolate them from the world, they’d only be more convinced that they’re innocent and that everybody else deserves to die. What does “innocence” even mean here? Your way of taking out your anger on a killer, despite the fact that your family will never come back to life? This is why Mahatma Gandhi said: “It would be a sin for me to serve General Dyer and co-operate with him to shoot innocent men. But it will be an exercise of forgiveness or love for me to nurse him back to life, if he was suffering from a physical malady.” When talking about a man who wished him dead. He even said: “Who could be more cruel or blood-thirsty than the late General Dyer? Yet the Jallianwala Bagh Congress Inquiry Committee, on my advice, had refused to ask for his prosecution. I had no trace of ill will against him in my heart. I would have also liked to meet him personally and reach his heart, but that was to remain a mere aspiration.” Even after the assassination of his father Gandhi went on to say: “I don't have anger or hatred towards anybody. Of course, I lost my father and for me it was a very difficult time, I felt tremendous pain, but I don't feel anger, I don't feel any hatred or any anger. I forgive. Violence cannot take away anything from you. My father is alive in me. My father is talking through me.” As a teenager, which I still technically am, but an older one, I used to think of Gandhi, a man who was as idiotic as one could get. If someone wished me dead I’d kill them first! I thought to myself. But as I grew, I came to realise that the only way to be rid of hatred is to accept it and to try and convert it with kindness, not to be against it and hate it, doubling the hatred. And if unable to convert, ignore them. It is one’s duty to make sure that a harmful individual is imprisoned, but it is not one’s duty to wish harm upon them. If you find yourself wishing harm upon anyone no matter the circumstances, know that you have been led astray to the path of aggression and hatred, my advice would be to get out of it immediately however you can. It is up to you. If someone caused me harm, and I say this sincerely with no doubt, even if they slaughtered my whole family, I would only wish for the day to take them out for a drink, a cup of coffee maybe, talking to them as I’d see no hatred left in their eyes. That would make me happy, because despite losing a family, I’d gain a new friend. Or so I hope. You claim to support all humanity, correct? If you were to end up in the situation I just described, what would you do? Would you face your family’s murderer for a cup of coffee?



6.Against Sadism We Must Stand

We all have at least a little bit of sadism within our minds. Don’t be shy now, you know you do. Who wouldn’t giggle at a guy falling down the stairs funny? Some would laugh even more if they knew the guy. Sadism comes in different ways, some are less and some are more sadistic than average, including myself. But when do the laughs and jokes end? What is the line between fun and games, and actually hurting one another? We’ve all heard this before, just let the boys fight it out, they’ll reach common ground eventually, they gotta become men somehow. That is why over thousands of children are either injured or dead in every single damn country, from stupid fights, over stupid reasons, which might I add by stupid I mean all reasons. There is none and there will never be a “good” reason to fight over. And a majority of such idiotic fights take place in… that’s right, you guessed it! Schools. When someone says they don’t like getting wet, there’s an urge to splash water onto them in all of us. But whoever fights the urge to bother and displease others, even if it’s not to hurt but a dumb joke, is the one with the least harmful sense of morale. If you leave children in an environment such as school, they all start to hurt and make fun of each other but a few. That is why it has been considered human nature, something of total norm, they’re just children, let them do their thing. But why do a few of them resist the urge to hurt? How do I even know that such children exist? I was one of them. As of now I’d say the reason is my will, but back then I don’t remember having a strong will at all. I really don’t know what made me resist the urge, but whatever it was, I am proud of it. Children are weak, they’re sensitive. To hurt a child is like hurting hundreds of people at once. And children are doing it all the time. They hurt each other. And simply letting them do so because it will “flourish their social skills” is why we have so many unnecessary problems in society. When a child is hurt, it may cause them to never grow out of their sensitivity. Letting children hurt each other is what has led us to a world full of sensitive weak minded people who cannot stand criticism, and that is only one of the problems that may occur to the grown up child. My point is that we are causing children an inability to mature, and we think it’s okay. Instead of teaching children to fight against the sadism that we all know we feel, we even encourage them to do so. We allow them to grow their little demons inside themselves and act like sadism doesn’t even exist. We simply ignore a huge problem. How noble. And because most people fight against it eventually and live in decency, we believe that our education system is just, and it’s working. But the truth is that for all the other people out there who fell under the power of their demons, our education system is partly to blame. Children should not be stopped when fighting by force, school shouldn’t become a prison, although it already has for a very long time. Children need to be taught how fighting has no benefits for anyone in a proper way so that such fights wouldn’t happen in the first place. We put children through the harsh unnecessary times of school and never even put an effort into making those times better for them, so even though many will grow out of it, some will never get through with those times and become irresponsible adults, even criminals. This could all have been avoided if society would just simply change the education system for the better. But that is the problem with humanity, we are so afraid of change that we would never even consider changing such a massive thing that has been set for us by people who are now rotting corpses, the people who lacked the knowledge we now possess but simply choose to ignore. With the access to never ending information, ignorance has now fully become a choice and people still choose ignorance. Says a lot about humanity if you ask me.
Another thing I’d like to mention is for the people who say that they wish they’d go back to childhood, or that they wish they were animals. Do you even realise what you are saying? You are wishing to go back to a state of your life when you couldn’t think freely. When your parents and teachers thought for you. Or you are wishing to be a creature that cannot think and can only repeat a pattern from their instincts over and over again until they die. You are giving up on your own freedom. You wish to give up the responsibility of being a mature human being that can think for themself and you wish the world would think for you instead. You are wishing for totalitaria. How idiotic of you. You know, if you want to escape making decisions so badly you can always, “stop living”. No one is holding you back, go for it you fool. If you find yourself wishing to be a child or an animal throughout your life, you are not living at all! You are simply pretending to live. I, for one, am glad to be a human, and will keep on happily taking on the responsibilities of thinking and living freely with total satisfaction. Screw you.



7.A Persønal Matter

I have written this because I felt that I had something left to say, although much shorter than before as you’ve just read, but still something. You might be wondering, what is up with the other things I have written? I must say I have always been full of ideas for various stories but I’ve found myself unable to write full stories. Although I had fun with my nøvel I didn’t know how to continue it. Because of that I have decided that this will be the last thing I write. For a while at least.
So until the next time I decide to write, bon voyage!
