Those Who Genuinely Are

The difference between
Those genuinely intelligent
Versus those who think they are

Is that the former
Never think they are
More intelligent than
Those who think they are

Whereas the latter
Always think they are
More intelligent than
Those who genuinely are

Who Can Sell You A Pebble

In order to get things done
Whatever that may be
From point A to point B
And it takes money to do it

Then the least amount of money
To go from point A starting
To point B end of project
Is to use the least number
Of individuals standing
Between those two points

Since every individual in between
Does nothing but listen
And tell the guy at the end
The guy who actually does the work
What to do

It is an archaic system favored
During the days before the internet
When it was difficult to find the guy
Who actually did the work

But in this day and age
Where even a dog has a web page
There is no reason why anyone
Should pay a person to tell another person
To do the job

It all boils down to the degree
Of laziness in person who has the money
To actually search out the guy at the end
Or rather tell the middle man
Usually the salesperson
Who can sell you a pebble
For the sake of convenience

But unlike cars
Where you get what you pay for
When it comes to the middle man
All you get is a nice smile plus
Shaking head from the guy at the end

Eventually To

So much work
So little time

To achieve the state
Of having

So much time
So little work

After having
Accumulated

So much money
So little time

Eventually to
Leave it all behind

At The Gym

The irony of modern society
Claiming to work harder
And faster
Fast paced they say
Is that every innovation
Be it mechanical
Or food industry
Is geared to make humans
Use less and less energy
Elevators, computers, robots
And now self driving cars
To be more efficient they say
So that they can rest more
Eat more and play more
And pay money to get
Rid of that excess energy
At the gym

Or In The Hospital

The fundamental state of mind
For Christians

Or none Christians for that matter
To achieve peace of any kind

Is to turn the other cheek
If someone slaps you on the face

But the way it stands now
If someone slaps anybody

Chances are one of them
Or both of them

Will end up dead
Or in the hospital

Truly hopeless
Without the help

No Matter What Their Profession

Suppose as an adult
There is nothing to hold on to
Other than the current state
Of affairs comprised of
Accomplishments
Self formulated philosophy
Specious groundless beliefs
Self righteousness
Pride
All enclosed in ever thin layer
Of fragile glass shell called
Self esteem

One wrong stimuli
A slight insinuation
Or hint of self elicited inferiority
And the shell comes crashing down
Leading to never ending
Laborious anxious attempts
To glue it all back together
And destroy whoever to blame

Always trying desperately
To put others down
Criticize complain justify
Particularly those perceived as threats
All because of their fragile
Insecurity

Amazing it is
How many adults are
In this state of mind
Always ready to strike down
Others who are oblivious

No matter what their profession
Living a sad state of existence
Unable to feel content
And satisfied

Then Should We Not All

Saying guns don't kill people
People kill people

Is like saying skyscrapers
Don't kill people
People who jump
Or push people off of it do

But then why does every single
Skyscraper in the world
Have fences on the top?

Why not just keep it open
So that anyone can easily jump
Or push people off
Without having to deal with the fence

Just like how crazy people
Can buy guns without much effort
And shoot around willy-nilly

Sure guns don't kill people
Then why wear the seat belt
When you can drive safely
Oh....it's about other crazy drivers

I see
Then should we not all
Wear bulletproof vests?
