C's Speech

Friends, Family, Random Blog Reader… I am speaking to you in this grave hour to inform you of my discontent with the situation- and I don’t mean that deranged character from Jersey Shore, I mean the situation we, as humans find ourselves in.


We are losing our humanity, our appreciation, and most importantly our purity. We have become such a disgrace that even the sickos are rolling in their graves with disbelief. I am speaking to you not out of desperation or plea, but out of concern. We must break free of the chains that have locked us in dungeons wreaked with fallacies of materialistic opulence and decadent luxuries woven with murky lies and murkier truths. In short let’s cut the bullshit and get back to our organic being and existence.


If I were to speak of money, then I would say that it has become embedded in our genome to seek more of it- by hook or by crook. History has framed delusional ego maniacs, such as Hitler, Stalin and Napoleon for their thirst and quench for absolute hegemony- not for material wealth, but for dominating and expanding their empire out of an ideal they stood for (as ridiculous as the ideal was). They were not profiteers, they were megalomaniacs. What do power heads stand for now? Bigger bonuses, faster cars and more luxurious penthouses?! There is no ideal, there is just one common goal- getting more money, and getting rid of anyone who stands in their way. Corruption has come in the form of corporations not only governments. Powerful CEO’s nowadays are just as bad as politicians, if not worse. Embezzlement, insider trading, fabricating numbers, to list a few crimes has become the weapon of choice with money being the underlying motive.


If I were to speak of character traits, I would say that a strong personality is not one that is able to control people, but one that can control him or herself when around other people. In an argument, remain cool, professional and factual- fire back at the attacker with strides of boldness not rudeness. To our families and friends we must remain loyal and faithful, and to those we love we must trust without a shadow of a doubt. We must love ourselves, but not be egotistical, because at the end of the day you get back what you give, and if you give nothing… well do the math. Don’t judge a person by their actions, but find their motive and intentions, for if the intentions were pure then the actions will be just as likely to be so too. Also we must never divvy our efforts with insecurity- for insecurity is the master of all evils; insecurity is the rabbit that digs you into gloomy holes of depression.


If I were to speak of love, then my advice to you, my readers, is don’t approach each of your dalliances as the real thing, for you will falter and fall flat on our face. Don’t diffuse your energy into people that don’t value your worth, for you will be weakened by dissatisfaction and resentment. Don’t follow the heart that could fail and the mind that could fraud, but follow the instinct that could fathom within seconds what the heart and mind could take years to wrap themselves around.


If I were to speak of career choice, then the only advice I give, is the common one everyone else gives and that is find out what you are good at doing, do it every day, and everyday get better at doing it. Don’t only be an achiever in what you do but also a believer.


I have yet to practice the words I wrote, but I am on that road. There are so many things I have to change to get back to basics, but once I get there I know I will reach my nirvana.
