"A life unexamined is a life not worth living..." - Socrates
I was reading the "Apology of Socrates" for my Philosophy class and I thought that this quote was simply profound and amazing. Socrates said this in his final moments when he was about to be executed. He says that his mission was to figure out what his existence meant and why did the Oracle say that he was the Wisest man in all of Athens. I think. Anyway, This quote made me think about my existence in life because I want to be a lot of things. I want to be a dictator because I believe that in order for a country to succeed one person must have the courage to do what is right. I want to be a Dictator to force the corrupt to be the weaker being. To do the right thing must be learned and must be applied in our daily lives.
Aside from becoming a dictator, I also want to be a Teacher who teaches values, virtues, and beliefs that will help out the future generation discover their hidden talent and find their existence in life. I believe that winning is important both in life and learning. If we keep losing we will only feel down but if we are winning we keep doing what we do best. So competitions like Basketball, MMA, etc. is just a mistake that will destroy us in the future. Test, College/Universities, even spelling bees, are fucked up systems that people make up so that we can rank ourselves. But without these we will never know how good we are. However, it doesn't mean that they are completely for the greater good. I think ranking a person based on their skills are bullshit at least keep it private, no one needs to know your successes. If we strive to only better ourselves from other individuals then our purpose of living is to not know ourselves but just to better ourselves without knowing who we really are. A dumbass is as good as any scholar. We stress ourselves all the fucking time because we want to be accepted by society. Then there is no hope for Humanity and the thing with God getting all the good people to Heaven and bad ones left behind on Earth will happen, Only when Humanity has finally lost hope. Just sayin'
If anybody, anybody at all, keeps up with this Bull I call my blog, I'm sorry for being lazy and not writing anything for 6 days. I haven't had one exciting day ever since to what is the point of writing when you have no purpose. But, as for today, it was fairly interesting. In my karate class in college, I had a lot of Fun and I actually conversed with some of my peers today. After class, my sister picked me up and we went home. When I got in the house, I saw something unexpected. I saw my sister doing Laundry!!!! I never thought that she would actually do it willingly but I think she just did it because of her sense of responsibility. If I was there she would have ordered me to do the laundry instead. Whenever she cooks, I usually do most of the chores, like cleaning after her stupid pile of disaster whenever she uses the kitchen, clean the other disaster she left in the living room, taking out the trash, and Vacuuming.
2 hours later, I went back to School and to finish up the day I went to my Philosophy class and we talked about Socrates and what he meant about everything he said on Plato's "Apology of Socrates" and it made me wake up in the class. By the way, I cut my hair on Friday but no one noticed or said anything about my hair. Now I know how women felt. Except for Karate class, one person noticed.
To talk about the missing days, nothing happened at all. Just my normal and daily life during the weekend. Just Finishing up some work for class and Videogames. So ya'll didn't miss much of my extremely boring life.
If you find grammar mistakes, please don't judge me. I'm only 18.
