RE: Think like a Viking: Part sixty

Human heart, and mind for that matter, is a complex thing. So it is hysterical to me, when I see people trying to define something or someone as purely good or bad.

We all have our dark sides just as we have our light. And dwelling about whether you belong in the "correct" spectrum or not is a waste of time. I even saw this taking a toll on some people I know, who slowly self destructed themselves thinking they will never be amount to something that will be upheld and cherished by the "society" or their close ones, or even God himself.

You are what you are, and the second you start accepting it and try to find a balance within yourself is when you truly start living. Oblivion is inevitable. We are all heading towards the big end, so there is simply no point dwelling.

Live unapologetically. Live the way that puts a smile on your face, not others. Live so vibidly that when death finally comes knocking on your door, you’ll be ready to go with one hell of a story to tell. To whom? Who knows. To me, that's just another adventure...

Sort:  

Live unapologetically. Live the way that puts a smile on your face, not others.

I know what you mean here, you're basically saying to design and create life as you wish it to be...but it can be a double edged sword. Think of a person who takes enjoyment from brutally raping men or women, Reynhard Tambos Maruli Tua Sinaga for instance, or Jeffrey Dahmer who murdered and dismembered, then ate, about seventeen other men between 1978 and 1991 or maybe Adolph Hitler who caused the deaths of millions...All of whom were just doing what they wanted...and I'd gladly strangle all of them with my boot laces given the chance.

I think it's important for a person to remember that their unapologetic life will probably come with repercussions and that some behaviours are simply unacceptable.

Ohh damnn. Yes I see your point there!

Responsibility and acknowledgement is important. Staying within the boundaries and knowing what is actually brutal and unacceptable is also needed. But there are also people who bind themselves too much with the rules of society and righteousness, and thus live a life that is full of constraints.

I guess the moto should be, "live unapologetically, but not at the cost of others." If you are living while causing others misery, at the end things will amount to nothing.

Because all of us are gonna go under the same ground, get mixed with the same soil and atmosphere when it all comes to an end. So there is no point, harming the ones who will share your ashes when the world collapses.

And if someone still thinks causing harm is a form of enjoyment and freedom, well, then they should probably get some help asap!

I wanted to point it out, the perspective of a person who has been around a lot. But yes, of course, I agree with your, life of constraints, comment above also.

"Live unapologetically, but not at the cost of others."

Yep, much better.
