I'm sure there's more.
I think you'll find it was only me who was questioning whether or not you were genuine.Hello again.
I wish to thank you all for your replies and kind thoughts. I did not expect such a response as I've been ignored before, yes even by the Samaritans. I don't wish to experience what I experienced with them again.
In regards to those who may think I am a troll or falsehood, I take words and intent seriously, use my own words to respond, and ever recall Machaivelli’s The Discourses; ‘The fortress is most injurious to those who inhabit them.’ as ideologies and dogmas also are, when unquestioned even more dangerous, for their destructive madness is far more mobile.
Realised it was in a way absurd, that I quote Machaivelli while saying I use my own words… at least I say more born from being, than just regurgitate like customary parrots… the gist of my words, is and always has been driven by myself.
I am a very quiet person, harmless by nature, and very much alone.
If Intelligence is measured by how one speaks and conveys his ideas verbally than I am the anti-thesis of Intelligence for I stumble, stutter, and speak in an uneven pace. I no longer have friends now because I cannot attend their false gatherings where they wish to drink themselves to death and just need me to come along as an accomplice, knowing I'll be there to pick them up and put them into a taxi home, paying for it with my own money too. I cannot even have a drink myself to at least drown everything else out due to my Diabetes.
I applied for college weeks ago, only to find I do not have the appropriate entry requirements to be on the course. And here I thought education was freely available to all and that education is a right for all people? How stupid of me to think such a thing. Chances of employment are absolutely nill, and I only see myself as a detriment to society, a parasite to those who earn their own way in life. Others are far more deserving.
What is vexing is having some abilities yet being born in a time where they seem totally useless in this ‘wait and watch’ world, whereas in the past words created active revolutions instead of spectators, some endure this time with false bravado or anger, but such methods are tragically hollow to me. I wonder how any can adapt and not feel corrupt. I have only endured this long from an awareness that unforeseen events conspire to keep me alive; perhaps my being creates some value and casts a bit of light, but the torch only experiences its burning.
There will come a time when all quotes are over, read and comprehended. By then you would know that there is no need to understand. Understanding has limited applications. You will no longer be seeking wisdom. Then, you have begun to realize what silence really is.
My issue is not always my Diabetes. Upon first being diagnosed, as hard as I found it, I took it onboard, anything to stop the pain. I did take good control of it all, testing 4 or more times a day, adjusting my insulin to what I needed, getting into it completely, thinking (foolishly) that if I get this all sorted, I can move on to bigger and better things. That I could say to the college or my employer, that while I am Type 1, that won't stop me. However, it is my own stupidity, lack of applying myself and being mentally unfit to live in this world, that requires only the best, the survival of the fittest. What use am I if I do not have good qualifications? What work would I ever find?
Yup ... plenty of highly educated morons about.Welcome back, Alex, it's good to see you posting a reply
For what it's worth, my belief is that a person's worth is determined by the kind of person they are, not by qualifications or job title. Someone can have qualifications coming out of their ears, and still be a total **** .(Funnily enough, certain politicians spring to mind!)
Signy
Good.I think I've caused more problems here than solutions. I am terribly sorry for offending all who have read my words, I didn't mean to cause harm or put anyone down, or cause suspicion. All I wanted was a conversation, someone to talk to, someone to understand and to know I'm not alone. Because I'm scared of what the future may or may not bring.
Yup ... plenty of highly educated morons about.
Also plenty of uneducated successful business people about too.
Don't make the mistake of thinking education equates to intelligence ... it rarely does.
We're all stupid at times ... I don't happen to think you were stupid just a wee bit arrogant.Thank you, Jack. I didn't wish to come across as well....a bit of an ****. I think today it has all become too much for me and I just wanted to vent, but by doing so, didn't think. I quoted Machiavelli as he is one of my favourites, but by doing so, alienated my audience as a result. That wasn't clever of me and a sure way of how to not make friends.
I had a bad experience with the Samaritans in terms of support, which is why I don't do this often but thought I'd write up something just to show exactly how I feel. Even if I was stupid about it.
