100

This is my 100th post. I never really thought I would be here. I feel like that's how things work in life, you jump in expecting one thing and by the time you get somewhere you actually forgot what you expected in the first place. We make a big ol' ruckus about how we think things should go and how worried we are if we don't make this or we don't get in here. And always... without question... we always end up where we should be. We always end up in a place where we can grow. I think that's crazazazy!

So the past 6 hours I've been cramming for this history mid-term, which i will most likely fail sadly, but for some reason I try really hard to do well. I wish I could just try that hard all the time and focus my time better. I'm just worn out a lot of the time ya know? After a long day of doing classwork the last thing you want to do is review all that crap that you've been going through all day. But that probably would've helped a lot. Either way it is what it is, I'm gonna do my best and I think I've learned a lot and I've only missed a half of reading so we'll see. I don't think college history is for me though.

I read this today on facebook in someone's prof info and it made me angry:

"When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European, or anything else, you are being violent. Do you see why it is violent? Because you are separating yourself from the rest of mankind. When you separate yourself by belief, by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence. So a man who is seeking to understand violence does not belong to any country, to any religion, to any political party or partial system; he is concerned with the total understanding of mankind."
-Jiddu Krishnamurti

I don't think that's true at all. I think the carnal nature of mankind's mind breeds violence. I think the natural pride in human beings breeds violence. It's not the fact that we identify ourselves, it's the fact that someone always has to have more pie than someone else. That's why there's fighting within groups... tribes fought within their tribes for respect and for mates. It has nothing to do with calling yourself something besides the name that you've been given. Pride breeds violence, nothing else. People need to stop blaming things on the labels and just take a look in the mirror. We all have desires, we all have parts of ourselves that we don't want to talk about, we all have some type of dream or goal. Sometimes there's other things in the way of that goal whether they be people etc. We make our own goals at times have more priority over those people, so we go up at their expense. It's because of who we are, it's our own flesh, not because of a label. People need to understand that, and if you want to fight me feel free, I don't care, but we need to stop this pointing fingers and saying it's your fault because you say you're different and poopy hoopy doopy. I could go on and talk about how Jesus isn't a religion, and how he's concerned with mankind as a whole but that'd take up way too much space and hurt way too many feelings for some reason.

Anyways that's it, wish me luck... please?
