I understand that although I've updated yesterday three times, I am more than willing today to update some more...that is, to talk about random shit that has been circling my brain for the last few months - ever since the beginning of - oh, I don't know, a really, REALLY long time...
Pride, Honor, Duty...Liberty, Equality, Fraternity...Oppression, Repression, Suppression...
That the title of the day for today...so, what to talk about? Talk about shit as usual? No way, of course not...it has to be good shit...
First, let me elaborate on Pride, Honor, and Duty...
Pride - it is the feeling that one is pretty much better than everyone else, and that no one can beat you...now, to be more personal, I have no pride whatsoever to the contrary. Sure, some may say that doublethink messes me up, and that I need a life, but you have to understand my desperate psychological condition - I need an idea, an immortal concept by which to bring myself to - to be reborn into - except, unlike the old Christian concept of, "born again," I just die...well, at least in spirit to the world. When that occured, the world - at least I thought - could now be investigated and explored in all its aspects, not just the narrow, dogmatic view of the majority. It is pride, then, that I must shed off if I were to understand all aspects and perspectives, and to use to help the human race. But, today, I have come to terms with it - I am not immortal, I am human, and that while we may want to be immortal, only by being born into an ideology could we fulfill the impossible dream. Pride, then, leads to arrogance, ignorance, and pertinence.
Honor - it is loyalty and duty to the ones that we love truly and deeply with our heart (appealing to my emotional feelings, sorry about the lack of true definition, but you get the idea)...I have honor for my friends of course. I believe that it is my duty and loyalty that pays off as to well how a friend I become. I am, after all, human. I can only do so much. I have limits, but my honor can bring me up to a whole new level if need be. Hence, honor to my friend, our freedom, our liberties, and our true selves. Hence, honor - it is treasured, valued, and loved by me.
Duty - what must I do in life? What is my purpose? I know that while I have a duty on this earth to accomplish, it is not clear to me what it is...so, instead, I'll just say, "oh well." There is no more, "so what" to the question of duty - I know what I must do, and therefore, I must do it. As the Oracle in the Matrix Reloaded emphasized to Neo - "We're all here to do what we're all here to do." Now, Mrs. Oracle, it is my turn to take on the lead.

LIBERTY...EQUALITY...FRATERNITY...
Concerning Liberty - if we are to be free, we must take responsibility for our freedoms. Simple as that. But, no - we hardly ever take responsibility for our freedoms - that is why, if we are not to choose a side now, there won't be any, "sides" to choose from. Better protect your neighbours and everyone around you if you are not to lose your last threads of freedom. That is the price of inevitable liberty. No law could ever save liberty when it dies in the hearts of men and women alike. Love liberty. Liberty is like love - it starts out simple, then, it gets complicated.
Concerning Equality, the world has been an unequal piece of garbage for the last two thousand years even after Christ said that things will be better. History has proven over and over again that those who seek power, regardless of the human and individual condition will do anything to create an elite class of people to take over. There is, of course, good dictators and bad dictators. However, evil has won in the war of dictatorial power. Why? Simple, power always seek those who are corruptible, gullible, and ignorant of their own devices. Equality is as imaginable as believing that cows can swim, and that fish can crawl. It is impossible, only in heaven is such a concept possible, even heavenly probable.
Finally, concerning Fraternity - there has always been ranks, degrees, and initiations even the simplest systems of human organization. In friendships, for example, it is only natural for us to individually decide whose a stranger, acquaintance, friend, good friend, best friend, etc...all with different names, but the idea is still there. Hence, a hierarchical structure - not fraternity is the only possible outcome of any, "degrees of initiation." Everywhere, there are levels - a building, a corporation, a government, a friendship bond, a gang, an intelligence agency, a secret society, a sorority, everywhere - even close to home - at school.

Oppression, Repression, Suppression...
Oppression, Repression, and Suppression - that is the reality of the world that we live in today. I leave you all to ponder this for yourselves. Think people, think. Who is your greatest enemy? Your enemy? No, there is another, another force, far more devious, deceptive, and demonic than any other - intricately tied to thd Devil himself, and even more intimately tied to the source of all corruption in this world. Think. Thinking is the most precious thing you got - don't ever lose it.
Yous, with much <3
