Well
There's plenty of things to criticize about Being
It's tragic
And there's malevolence
That's basically the issue
And
You can complain about that
But the thing is
If you complain about that, if you adopt that attitude
Which is sort of an Anti-Being attitude
You go places that
If you knew you were going you probably wouldn't want to go
It's the places where like the kids that shot up Columbine went
Those are bad places
If you read
The writings of
The Columbine High School kids
And you really read them
If they don't make the hair stand up in the back of your neck
You are not paying attention
The one kid wrote things I cannot believe
That people could write
And I
Exposed myself to a lot of
Crazy things that people have done and said
You just can't understand it
It's, it's
It's uncanny, you know?
Well, that's where you end up if you're
If you get bitter
It's like well, what can you do about that?
Well, the world is harsh
It's like
Should you criticize it?
Not till you put yourself together
You've got to bring everything you can to bear
On the problem before you have any right to
Stand in judgment about being itself
And that's what these mass murderers do
That's what they're doing, that's what they're acting out
They're saying "Well, I'm looking out in the world"
"I don't like people"
"They're full of flaws"
"They act badly"
"They're a cancer on the face of the planet"
"It'd be better if they didn't exist at all"
"I don't like Being"
"It's too full of suffering"
"And evil"
"I'm the judge of this"
"I'm gonna make my goddamn case"
"And take them out"
And then it's more than that
It's like I'm gonna take them out
And I'm gonna do it
With the innocent first
Cause that's the thing you got to get about mass murderer types
They're not hunting down the guilty
That's too obvious
They're hunting down the innocent
That's the best protest
Think about it
"Well, I don't want to think about it"
Well, that's for sure you bloody well don't want to think about it
But you better think about it
That's where you go when you take that
Criticism of Being approach
It's like you don't get to do that
Unless you want to end up there
It's bad
So, what do you do instead?
Stop doing stupid things
Stop lying
Stop making things worse
Stop making yourself weak
Even in a day you'll see that you have choices in front of you and
Sometimes you don't know what to do
It's okay, you're ignorant
Maybe you make a mistake
Whatever
That's just ignorance
Malevolence is when
You know what you shouldn't do
And you do it anyways
People do that all the time
And that's arrogance
That's "I'll get away with it"
It's deceit
Cause you're lying to yourself about whether
You should do this or not, you know you shouldn't
And then it's resentment because
Well, it's like
I'm gonna do this bad thing because that will teach the people
That will teach God
To treat me this way
That's the terrible trinity
Deceit
Arrogance
Resentment
Chase those out of your life
There's plenty of things to criticize about Being
It's tragic
And there's malevolence
That's basically the issue
