Having ones birthday on the last day of the year gives one a sense of symmetry every time. End of the year and another year older. Oh wow I am so instep with reality, ha ha ha. Being 51 this year is weird. How did I get so old? Heart just keeps on beating I guess.
One thing I will say about being this age. I am now around the same age as other mammals on the planet who are in charge of organizations who seek power or try and tell the rest of us how to think and what to believe in. I don’t think I have to show these mammals any respect anymore.(not that I ever really did) I have been a mammal on the earth as long as they have.
I wonder if these mammals who sprout all this crazy bullshit written in their holy books really believe it. For the most part they seem like normal people with families and ideas that can operate machinery and look after themselves and their loved ones to a lesser or greater degree. Why do they persist in buying into ancient imaginary notions? Hanging on grimly to ideas.
They can’t really believe that stuff can they? ie virgin births, miracles, imaginary friends, books written by the so called creator of the universe. If they were that crazy they would surely be incapable of doing anything.
I guess they just have some muddled ideas of it that they hang onto because they are scared of dying. They don’t like the thought that one day they will cease to exist. They think they will live forever in an imaginary place if they pledge allegiance to the entity as described in one of the books.
It’s fucking crazy.
I don’t believe any of that stuff. There is much of interest in the real world to try to understand without holding that bullshit in my brain. After 50 years on the planet I really want to be under no illusions about the nature of reality and am trying to update my operating system as often as possible. New ideas welcome. Evidence will be accepted. Peace and love for 2012
