Hate doesn't beat hate

"returning hate for hate multiplies hate - adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot destroy darkness - only light can do that. Hate cannot destroy hate - only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence...

Why did depth, intimacy, length, and every other form of real human-to-human conversation disappear from the internet?

Is it because people genuinely didn't want these things, or because of some other more random reason? Why is is virtually impossible to find anymore? Why does no one seem to want it?

The Right Color Skin

I believe that employers shouldn't hire people unless their skin is the right color. And I think that movies and tv shows need to stop having so many wrong-colored people in them. And don't even get me started with letting people-like-you be leaders...

I Am Going to Say Something Controversial

I wrote a story recently about the racial divide in America, and a lot of related subjects. The story came from a perspective that was very far from the racist side of the divide... but also very far from the opposite extreme of that divide. It...

I Am Going to Say Something Controversial

(part 3) But my challenge to you is this: ask yourself, how much is the news coverage and growing public perception of racial inequality and racism revealing a truth that was unseen before, and how much is is creating that seeming truth? To what...

I Am Going to Say Something Controversial

(part 1) I want to try and share some of the emotion-laden thoughts that are swirling around in my head right now. Maybe writing it all out will help me to make sense of it all. I don't even know where to start. Okay, actually, let me start by...

I Am Different [Being Different]

It's ironically ugly, that with literally tens of millions of different people making websites, from all over the world, and with billions of people writing posts and creating content of one kind or another... even with all of that, the pull of...

I Love Deep Conversations

Do you, like, not have actual deep thoughts, or do you just hide them in order to not be ostricised by all the shallow people?

Have you EVER posted something with real depth, that you put real thought into? How many years has it been since you've dared to do so?

When's the last time that you posted something more than 120 characters online, in any forum?

When's the last time that you posted something that was multiple paragraphs?

I Admire Depth And Understanding

I like depth and intimacy and length of thought - most people like the opposite. I feel like I'm a freak and an outsider for posting things that are more than 120 characters. And the truth is that I AM a freak for doing it - it's aberrant. It's...

I Like Wise People

I wonder how many people there are who think that they're wise, and tell themselves that they've climbed to the mountaintop, compared to the number who actually are? We're a species of self deceivers, and wisdom is the opposite of self-deception.

I Am Interested In Ethics

Shallowness has become one of our highest cultural values, to the point where practicing it earns you social acceptance - and anyone who dares to defy that value - with depth or length or complexity of thought or opinion - is made to pay a price....

I Always See Room For Personal Growth And Improvement

Confidence born out of thin air is just arrogance. Real confidence about your point of view can only come if you put that point of view out there and allow it to be challenged - really challenged (ie: you actually consider the challenges and change...

I Hate Watching the News

I actively avoid watching the news, and have for a lot of years now. A good portion of the "segments" are ads, and the ones that aren't paint such a skewed picture of the world, reporting on only the tiny subset of events that's going to garner the...

What makes parenthood so infinitely worthwhile? Is it worth it? Why?

I've talked to parents who say that... well, what it comes down to is that you can make a list of all the costs and sacrifices that go along with being a parent, compared to the rewards, and on paper it looks like you've come off worse for it... and...

I Think We All Have a Choice

If you really want to find a reason to not change things, then you'll always find it. You'll always find a counter to anything that anyone suggests. But the truth is that you feel like you don't have a choice - like you have to stay. But underneath...

I Am Learning to Take Care of Myself

The emotional, mental and physical are inexorably intertwined. Sometimes eating a proper meal or drinking some water or taking some Aleve for a headache can do wonders for the state of your heart. It's just hard to remember that in the moment, though...

I Try to Balance Logic and Emotion

--Not just for interviews, but for anything that you're freaking out about-- It's not that hard... okay, yeah it is, but it's not that complicated. I have little to no power to determine whether an interview goes well or not, just like I have...

I Want You To Write A Ten Word Love Story

It's hard to see the beauty sometimes, but it's there.

I'm not a part of this world, and I don't deserve to be.

I'd Rather Have the Truth, No Matter How Hard

When you say words of deep truth, and you do it clearly enough, then those words will resonate with people. On some level, people will know in their bones that what you're saying is true. The problem is that most people respond to that kind of...

I Understand The World More Than The World Understands Me

The vast majority of people will instinctively walk the path that they see the vast majority of people walking. The vast majority of people will instinctively believe whatever they see the vast majority of people believing. Sometimes that gets us a...

I think that a mandatory draft should be instituted, with the draftees doing things like public works projects during peacetime. Right now, few of us really feel responsible or personally touched by the wars that we're fighting, or the thousands of...

I Have a Lot of Inner Hatred

For a long time, I've recognized that the darkest, most destructive kinds of lies are the ones that mix 10% lie with 90% truth. The true parts make the lie utterly believable, and the part that's a lie twists it all up into utter darkness. But what...
