From the Shattered Pieces:Shattering the perceptions of reality

"For every truth there is a lie waiting to be told; for every love there is a fire growing cold. For 

every life there is an eventual death; for some there is love, but pain for all the rest"In life thereare always decisions to be made. Sure it's easy to say that but most of us follow the path of leastresistance. Most employers pay enough so that their employees won't quit, and most people work

 just hard enough they won't get fired. What kind of life is that? What ever happened to pride? Youalways have a choice in life, you decide what happens to you. Nobody can force you to doanything and the sooner society learns that What is good for me is more important than what isgood for you, the sooner this planet will finally join the ranks of other respected planets in theuniverse. Come on there are UFO sitings constantly, what do you think their waiting for? OK justkidding but I got your attention.

The greatest injustice we do to people is telling lies and "half truths" What perversion of logic isthat. There is no such thing as a "Half Truth" there is true, and there is false. Whoever inventedthat phrase should be roasting in the seventh circle of hell right about now. Honesty is always avirtue. Why lie?? It takes to much time and effort. Be honest, with yourself first, and with otherssecond.

Would you rather have someone tell you, I like this about you, I don't like that about you; or wouldyou rather have someone blur the truth so that you never really know where you stand?Perception is what the world is based on. At least those middle east fanatics tell you where youstand. I can respect them for that. Of course, I hate you, you're weak minded, short sighted, andabove all else, you're lying to yourself. These people attack America because we're destroyingtheir country? Because we're responsible for the decline of their civilization, we're responsible for all their hardships!! That's bullshit. Everyone is responsible for themselves. the sooner we allrealize this the better off we'll be. I can't force you to do anything. Oh I can kill you and do itmyself, but I can't force you.

America has never stolen anything. OK, Chrissy Boy borrowed money set sail not knowing where

he was going, and landed on an "undiscovered continent" that had millions of people on it. But hedidn't force anyone onto his boats, he didn't force anyone to give him money.

Fast foward to the american revoloution and the colonist didn't "steal" America from the British wefought them for it and in the end they gave up. History is written by the champions of will. Thenwe moved west and "stole" the red mans land. . . he gave it to us, both in word and in deed, hecould have fought, but chose not to. Today the children of those red men live in a society better than they could have created on their own.

"I know not what course others may take, but as for me give me liberty or give me death." if that'snot a statement of will I don't know what is. To sum it another way: I don't know what you plan todo, I can't make you do what I'm going to do, but like it or not I will do what I want, and the onlyway to stop me is to kill me.

when a man falls he has two choices in the matter. One he can tell himself the truth, "I got myself into this situation, I don't like the situation I'm in, I need to find a way out of it." or two he candelude himself with any number of lies "Society made me what I am, I didn't have enough to workwith, I was tricked" or any number of lies to keep the blame off of his own shoulders, where theblame belongs.

Blaming others leads to hate, blaming others leads to war, blaming others leads to the failing of civilization. Nobody has ever gotten anywhere by blaming others. Those who are successful don'tsay, "it's your fault I have what I want. Why did you give me all these things I have." The

successful man says I made myself what I am. The successful man places the "blame" where itbelongs on his shoulders. the problem is that we never want to find fault in ourselves. It's easier to find fault in others, easier to place our fault on others. It helps us sleep better at night.

A man at war with himself does not sleep, "happy are the sleepy ones, for they are about to dropoff" - Nietzsche. But what Nietzsche only partially realized is that sleep is found in two individuals,he who places blame, and he who accepts himself. If you accept your weakness, your faults, thenyou know what you have to work on. you don't have to be at war with yourself, just say this iswhat I don't like about myself and change it. It's true of the individual and it's true of society.These millitant fanatics shouldn't blame others for their problems, The Nazi's proved that if youblame others for your problems, and then wipe them out, the problem remains.

For EVERY TRUTH there is a lie waiting to be told, the trick is not to tell it. See the truth behindthe lies, not only in the lies you tell yourself, but in the lies others tell you as well. Nobody canmake you believe their lies, you believe them because you do not want to see the truth. Black isalways black, add all the white you want to it, the black is still there.

There is no such thing as philantropy. All these people who give money to various causes do it for one reason, to help themselves. There are numerous ways, but it's always to help themselves.Either they did things in the past they they are ashamed of and are trying to buy their conscience

clean, or they want to be seen as a better person than they really are.

Ayn Rand said it best. Selfishness is a virtue. Nobody ever got anywhere by giving things away,sure, billionares can afford to give things away now, but that's not how they got their billions. BillGates didn't make his money by giving away his plans for microsoft. He made his money bycharging for it. Vince MacMahon didn't make all his money by giving WCW his best wrestlers andhis best writers, he made his money by using them. There is an old adage "give a man a fish youfeed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime" - so, why should I carewhether or not that man eats fish? The strong should not cater to the weak. "The weak ones arethere to justify the strong" - Marilyn Manson.

The weak are there to show us what the champions of will can accomplish. The weak ones arethere because they didn't have the will or the resolve to pull themselves out of a slump. There has

never been any idea that could not have been thought of by another individual. What one mancan do, another can do.

The next time a homeless person walks up to you and ask for money kick the shit out of them.Something given has no value. "of all that is written I value highest that which one writes in hisown blood." - Nietzsche.

If a man can not feed himself it is not my job to do so. I didn't put that man where he is, whyshould I help him out of it. People who are ex-cons, shouldn't cry and complain because theycan't find a job in society, they shouldn't complain because people won't give them a secondchance. The bottom line is, they don't deserve a second chance, you've already proven that youcan't be trusted. Why should I give you a chance to prove it again. I didn't force you to dowhatever you did to go to jail, why should I be burdened with getting your life back on track?

Did you know what the American Governments FIRST order of business is if this country ever comes to Martial Law? Before patrolling the streets, protecting the hospitals/banks/nationaltreasures or anthing else... send death squads to the prisons! WHY?? Because they havealready proven that they are a danger to society. Why is it that we have to resort to Martial Lawbefore we take these steps? WHY, it's simple... because as a society we're weak, as a societywe lack the balls to do what SHOULD be done.

Pity is for the weak, we pity those who we think don't deserve the tragedy's that befall them. Butthey do deserve it, they got themselves into the situation, they should get themselves out of it. He

who hits rock bottom, and climbs back to the top has my deepest respect. As long as you'recapable of working, you're capable of improving your situation, and if you're not capable of working then you're of no use to society and the only thing you're capable of doing is draggingothers down with you.

I'm a soldier, I fought for my country, and if needed I would have died for it. But I would rather bedead than a vegetable. Keeping people alive who have no use for it is an injustice, both to them,and those who keep them alive. What use is life if all you're able to do is lie in a bed? what goodis life if all you're capable of doing being a burden to all those who care for you? Which would yourather be: someone remembered as they were, or would you rather be remembered as theperson in a coma, the one I had to change bedpans for, the one I had to spend all this moneykeeping on life support. Where's the justice in that?

All those who cannot fend for themselves should be done away with. You don't see loins huntingand killing gazelles on the Serengeti only to drag them back to the helpless? Help no-one whocannot help you. A symbiotic relationship is the worst you can ask for.

Those handicapped who can still serve a purpose i.e. Stephen Hawking have a place in society.They may not be able to run the 40 yard dash, they may not be able to go patrolling down-townBahgdad but their strenths lie in other endevors, all technology was once science, or witchcraft,

or what-ever mumbo-jumbo you want to call it. Somebody thought of hitting something with a treelimb ... fast foward to the beginning of the 20th century and E=MC2 ... Yeah I know E alwaysequaled MC2 and sometimes hitting someone with a tree limb is still a good idea. The ideas arealways there, they always were, fact is fact.

So to all you why me people ... get over it. You have the cards you were dealt, make a winninghand out of it ... or bluff. To all those people who complain about the shape society is in a greatman once said "Step up or step aside, you don't get to bitch unless you're willing to step up anddo something about it, or step aside and let someone else handle it" And that great man was KenTitus.
