Kevorkian Logic

Here is my take:

Life is simply about love. But not about great loves, it is also about the subtle loves--the loves that your heart realizes way before your brain has a clue. It’s about the strangers that walk into your life for six seconds and you glance over or take in their detail never to see them again. Because try as hard as you might to judge and understand them in the fleeting glace, imagination hardly ever comes close to the reality of flesh, memory, and tangible experience. We can never understand the true nature of the people until we learn to love them. And it is such a blessing to be able to learn to understand the world of these subtle loves in our lives. They have life experiences we have never touched. The world is full of these subtle loves and that is what life is all about-- to experience random acts of over and over again with new loves and the new places. And to remind ourselves how beautiful everything is over and over again with the old ones.



I'm a sappy convoluted mess sometimes. I'll take other opinions in order to grow mine

Life is about relationships. Well, relationships and struggle.

And taxes.

Life is about relationships, struggle and taxes.

Double post, I know. I am terrible about that.

I just wanted to say **** taxes. It's amazing how much money disappears in taxes--I can barely handle it.

erm **** taxes but the same taxes you are paying goes to some of the services that i bet you are using every single day.

those services aren't going to pay for themselves

that argument lacks depth.

Anyhow, I am not referring to the tax policy as a whole, social services need to exist which I am a million times happy to give my money to funding. I am referring to general government waste--we have tons of programs/policies that no longer make sense or are outdated that we still keep because of the repercussions politicians would face from their constituents if we got rid of them.

i.e. Social security needs to be addressed. It will **** us over so much if we do not--most politicians wont touch it with a 8 foot rod because in order to make social security feasible again someone is going to loose which means they are going to loose votes.

i.e. How public schools are dealing with cuts--they are cutting positions and classes (instead of administration and bureaucratic waste) because those cuts are the cuts that people notice. When people notice cuts they get inflamed and are more likely to vote to give public schools more money.

When you really look at the system it is very broken.

Also why I am moving to Sweeden when I turn 37.

I was waiting for you to respond because I knew that you would pretend like you don't even know about the services that you use on a daily basis that taxes pay for. You drive right? and even if you don't you still use roads and the roadway repairs are paid for from your taxes.

Police and FireFighter services as also paid from your taxes, sure you might not be using it now but if you need to call 911 for an emergency you will be utilizing it.

Even down to the mail that you get everyday.

Life is the accumulation of experience

It's that simple

Trying to overcome suffering and find happiness. That's more of the goal of life, but I think it can work either way...
