How do you decide what is right and what is wrong?
You TEST it
Only reality cures ignorance, only action, real world action
How do you decide if you’re right or wrong?
You TEST it, obviously.
How do you decide if you’re living right?
You TEST IT.
Can someone else decide for you if you’re living right?
Yes, they can
Will they be correct?
Yes, it’s possible
Men will judge you
You will judge you
No one will get the entire truth, but one will be closer to it
Do you know yourself better or does a stranger know you better?
They say a stranger can’t judge you
Yes he can
A stranger knows a thing or two about existence. He’s existing himself, after all
The point is: what do you know about existence?
The question is: How CONSCIOUSLY are you living?
A stranger can be more conscious about EXISTENCE than you are — and he can be more conscious about YOUR EXISTENCE than you are
It depends on how you live
It depends on what you did today and why
Have you lived your own life and made your own mistakes?
Or have you lived someone else’s life
Or have you not lived at all?
But if you lived fully today
If you did your best
If you knew what you wanted and went for it
If you committed to be alive and SEALED IT WITH YOUR BLOOD
Then it is you who are now the authority on this business of LIVING YOUR LIFE
And a stranger is in no place to judge you
A sage can perhaps judge you
But not the rest of the world
Because you made a choice WHO YOU ARE — and PAID THE PRICE
Mind you it’s not about the stories you tell yourself
Reality precedes stories, therefore ACTION, LIFE, precedes stories
You live — then you experience the story, your story — then you live again, you continue that story
What this means that your IDENTITY, your VISION — are UTTERLY INSEPARABLE from your EVERYDAY ACTION
Without action you’re just a madman, hallucinating, living in a fantasy world
Likewise: without vision — you’re just an animal, a puppet, blind and retarded
YOU ACT AND YOU HAVE VISION
YOU ACT AND YOU HAVE VISION
who can judge you now?
only god
if not god — then you yourself
but not many more
because they are not you
and therefore they can’t KNOW what it means to be you
and FOREMOST — they have no experience, no empirical data, no true direct insight into WHAT IT MEANS TO BE YOU
how do you decide what is right and what is wrong? You test it
Only you can test HOW TO LIVE YOUR LIFE, as YOU
You are thine only metric
And you are the one paying for your mistakes and reaping rewards for your successes
You are the only actually incentivised to face reality: and benefit from it, or pay.
And eventually there comes a day that this idea of someone telling you HOW TO LIVE YOUR LIFE — it strikes you as HYSTERICAL, LAUGHABLE
And eventually there comes a day that this idea of someone JUDGING you — it strikes you as HYSTERICAL, LAUGHABLE
Because you’re so invested in this BUSINESS of BEING YOU, of DOING YOUR BEST AT IT, you’re so committed to this business of LIVING YOUR BEST AS YOU — that any comparison is nonsensical. It’s like comparing the owner of a company to the lowest tier employee: who do you think is more incentivised to be RIGHT about how to run this business?
And the more invested you are the more hilarious the world becomes, with it’s “standards” and “values” and “morality” and politics and drama
And the more invested you are — the less can you AFFORD such nonsense — you simply stand too much to lose to distract yourself with clueless and ignorant and extraneous noise
And eventually you become DEAF to it
You’re too busy living your life, too INVESTED in getting the most out of it
And only god can judge you
and he is on your side
