The Insanity Of The Present Age

SEE HERE This kind of thing makes me want to vomit. Is that too explicit for your modern informed existentially evacuated and incapable of volitional action mediated by a human will mind? Oops, I forget. Those people are probably not reading my blog. Most of my readers are sane. Now if you think that the nutrition at McDonalds isn't all you want for your children you have a simple choice: Don't go to McDonalds! Is this rocket science? The idea that because McDonald's meals, any of them, can be abused, or that somehow french (ur freedom) fries have fallen off the PC approved list of foods and hamburgers have (gasp) fat in them, that somehow you should punish them for offering the food they offer ... has everyone lost their minds and sense of proportion?

Let me explain this in words a two year old could understand: You are responsible for yourself! A two year old might not be able to handle "responsible" — From what I can see most of the 20 somethings are having some difficulty with it. The buck stops with you, no-one else. You're not the universal victim. If you're screwed up than 'fess up, you did it to yourself and get straight. It's easy really. Every time you want to do something ask yourself the question: Is this something the person I want to be would do? (it requires a kind of double think, a pause in making your decisions) If the answer is "No" then "Don't do it!" I know that obeying your parents was a trial since they didn't make the consequences of disobedience severe enough. That has undermined your sense of personal responsibility. You're just a little feral animal who can't help him or herself. Isn't that what they teach you in "those schools." You're just an animal, do what makes you feel good.

I have a surprise. You're a sentient human being with the capacity to live a willed and intentional life. You've been lied to your whole life and from this moment onward you have the opportunity to show the world what you are made of. It is sterner stuff than the mere whim of hormones. Think about all your dreams. Work out a plan to achieve them. Get on with it. And if you feel like it now and again, have a hamburger at McDonalds. It's your life, live it to the whole!
