Every Man Is An Island

There's a reason the world tries to teach
that 'aloneness' is a devil's ploy; an unwinnable,
severe, desperate situation to be avoided and
condemned at all costs.

Society hates individualism, and wishes to stomp it
out at every turn. The individual being strong
and singular diminishes society's hold over us.
And that's bad --in theory--for the whole, but
certainly not the parts.

There is great strength in separating from the unwashed
masses of hypnotized sheep.
Be an island;
self-loving,
self-sustained,
content,
self-entertaining,
independent,
detached from sway,
self-accepting,
self-governing.

It's an arduous and intricate process, but all
things worth the effort are.

In business, you wouldn't take on a
losing proposition with a bad track record
and a guarranteed loss on your investment,
so why would you do it in personal relations?

People are unreliable, inefficient, hateful, dangerous,
judgmental, damaged, lying, unloyal pieces of
garbage. We know that going in if we've paid attention to
anything... Moved past the pleasantries and facade...
Lived long enough and been lucky enough to
survive the armageddon of the human race.

Make smart choices in your life as you would with your
money; invest wisely, avoid problems, cut your losses.
Keep it skeptical and cynical.

"Never use your heart--use your head."
