best speech ive heard in a while

This is not something I would normally do post about politics and such but its pretty much right on target with The same thing that goes on in my head(and some that don't i.e wasn't aware of)

No Title

You know what,
Lately i see all these quote's from "famous" or "well known" people.
It maybe my "negative" side peeking out.
Some may call it jealousy,
But most of these quotes of there's are about there "life experiences" or "views" and occasional "facts".

Now ill get this straight right here and now.
They all had to get to there attained position by whatever means hard work,luck,born into it (i.e. rich parents) etc.
But it appears at face value that these "life experiences" they are referring to came about after such stardom that the everyday people placed upon them for whatever means.
I'll admit I can/could be outright wrong.
But without said stardom would said "quotes" still be famous?
Or do we take the "quotes" as a value because the people are famous?
Because otherwise the "quotes" would be just words from some random person throughout history.

Now in the same light with being a "well known" or "famous" person,
That allows you to explore what your most happy with in your life with such ease and compassion, Allowing you to use your full potential to discover new and interesting things about whatever you choose, Without the worry of financial liability  that the "everyday joe" has to worry about.

I'm not saying that the "everyday joe" cannot do such things it just takes more time,
Sheer determination and rock solid will power will be needed to attain such a feat.

I just think it would be great that if everyone could take that same value of faith,belief or what not, That they instill in said quote and put in in themselves and hold onto it for as long as possible.

Then without being "well known" or "famous" you could attain the same level of enlightenment,happiness,clarity that they felt at the time.

Title At The End

I have a "beef"with this so called country and its ideals of "freedom" & "opportunity".
In the eyes of a common low to middle class citizen being born and raised here in the united states of america,
The ideals that once existed are no longer.
The only people that have that "freedom" & "opportunity" are people that are born into money or have "connections".
To have said "opportunity" you have to relinquish any idea of  "freedom" you possess.
By "opportunity" in this writers eyes means starting something of your own.
Something that puts a smile on your face, and not an everyday smile.
Something that make that fire inside ignite into something more, be it a passion for art,music etc.
In my young & inexperienced eyes, I do not see a government/country that is pro-active for the "every day joe" to be able to do such a thing.
This writing stems from and idea. An idea that brings me to a point in myself that I rarely see.
A point of happiness that I am constantly told that I will never obtain.
In its simple-lest form.
The idea does not stem from financial gain or greed.
The idea stems from an educational standpoint first and happiness next.
Money is the last thing on my mind when I think of this.
But it is not the way that this country or government that I live in.
Those listed above revolve around debt and debt alone and toss in some greed for good measure.
No growth, no education(which should be free to all) and no happiness.
Now i understand that education can be free to a point, Anyone can go and pick up a book and learn.
But its that ever so important piece of paper that we all paid multiple thousands of dollars for that strangle us for  the next good chunk of our lives.
Lets face it the way the world works today it all revolves mainly around that little $20.00 piece of paper with you name on it, And without it you are somewhat withheld from attaining all you can attain in this life.
You could have a person that is highly motivated and driven, Learning from the same book that the college person did and that non-college "educated" person would be a rare chance of being a hire in the "real world" today, even if the non "college"educated person had real world experience they would most likely not get picked for a job against that person with the $20.00 piece of paper with their name on it, I'd give it MAYBE a 60/40 chance of the non "college" educated person getting the job and I think I'm being gracious with that number.
To obtain said "opportunity" you have to commit yourself to a slave in this new world we live in now.
While you commit to this "opportunity" you lose your "freedom" to do anything in this world that could make you enjoy life and be happy, By "silencing" yourself in debt to a conglomerate.
In the state I live in the costs are so high for all things.
How is anyone so young supposed to start anything of their own in these times of the economy.
Any dreams of happiness are shutdown and damn near shattered.
We have to sacrifice our "happiness" our "freedom" for the illusion of the so called "Great American Dream".
Those times are gone I believe, In reference to the "Great American Dream".
We are a generation of debt consumers,
Not life consumers like our parents before us.
They were the last of a great generation where one could reach and obtain the "Great American Dream".
The house with the white picket fence,The small family owned business down the street.
The times that I'm sure were tough, But also the times when you could start something and call it......

                                                            "Your Own"

What Lies Beneath

What lies beneath my skin is fear.
Fear that I wont succeed
Fear that I cannot withstand damage
Fear that my ideas are looked upon without care.
Fear that I cannot act upon what I truly feel.

Fuck fear and all it's games and disguises.
I will succeed.
I will withstand any damage inflicted upon myself be it physical or mental,
For I am stronger than I appear.
My ideas are my own, And it is upon my own action that they will fail or be seen without care
These are the fears I can address without consequence.

By my own nature I feel I am a protector, possibly a warrior of sort.
My greatest challenge thus-far in life is to find a way to be that protector/warrior for others when in need and not fear the consequence,
For I can deal with pain and sorrow, But I cannot deal with the pain and sorrow of those closest to me.
I was born in a time where I cannot take action in my own hands and it is left to someone without proper knowledge or emotion of the situation.
For this is the role I have chosen in my past life that has carried over to this life and I cannot act upon it without being seen as a vigilante
For what truly lies beneath is the fear that I have not confronted, And the fear that i'm more capable of my unknown ability

Back in the day

Why can't Saturdays be like the Sundays of yesteryear?
For those that are not in the know Sundays back in the day the only things that were open were church and Chinese food restaurants. Why can't weekends be like that I bet there would be less craziness afoot in the world today And people just maybe healthier(sp?)

But think of it this way back In the day you actually saw most of your family and friends.
Look how that's changed over the last 30 years or so when is the last time you have seen your extended family not counting funerals and weddings.
It used to be common practice.
Big gatherings and dinners with uncles aunts grand ma's and grand pa's etc and friends from the neighborhood all on Sundays.
People used to shut down streets and have a street a cue (whole street BBQ )

Now when's the last time you actually saw any of this?

When's the last time anyone saw or actually knew everyone within at least a 2 street radius of where you lived?

Hell I remember when I used to know everyone that lived around me and there phone numbers from memory.

Now I know no one that really lives around me with exception of a few never mind there phone #'s

Now can I blame some of this on myself?
Of course I can

But as a whole the mass majority of people don't care anymore
Were all robots and sheep the majority of us.
And it's fucking sickening. 

Gone are the days when people where people
Family was family (including friends as family) 

Here's To Freedom...

All though ive never expirienced this

 It is one of things i hope to do before i die and is one of the many images that go through my mind when i think of freedom from the everyday bullshit that we go through in what we call life.

Here's to freedom.

To those that obtain it never falter and join the rest of us in what we call "life".

To the people(myself included) find your freedom & do your best to grasp it as soon as possible.

Because the life that we are "living"now is not living.

We are existing to perpetuate meaningless bullshit that helps next to no one.

Have you ever seen someone try to learn something and all of a sudden it clicks in there head and that they learned something new?Better yet were you the one helping them understand?

That's life right there you are experiencing.

My rants may make no sense to some & they may to others.

They are what you make of it.

I see it as myself growing in a different way and learning new ways and new things im interested in.

So to anyone that reads this i hope i made your brain twitch and turn on and think rather that just get slammed with meaningless nonsense that floods the world today. 

Are you free or do you posses the illusion of freedom?

Have you actually thought if life was predetermined?

How old you get? 

Where you go?

What you do ?

How you live?

Now i personally know people have choices in everyday life.

But what predetermines the situations we run into everyday?

The choices we make through the day?

Is that the answer?

It's a valid possibility.

But then that leaves nothing in life a possibility as a random.

Are people supposed to fail in a whole to learn?

Or do we fail to see how we rebound from the failure?

And during the rebound is it the choices we make during recovery that determine if we rise or fall?

Does that determine on how we as people will respond/deal with success or failure for the rest of our life?

And do the above choices reflect on how we deal with social interaction with each other?

Do family,friends & society influence the choices we make in life for better or worse?

And if they do you really have any choices in life that are your own?
