All this creates is freedom from thinking that life *HAS* to be a certain way. It really doesn't. It has no meaning and no point and no way it should be. |
So why bother living ? :S

And what you think you don't have isn't even real, it's all in your head. You imagine being smarter, but in reality you are just as smart as you are. The whole "I'm not <blah>" is completely and utterly made up, and completely in your own head. And you can't even see it! It's real for you, and it's 100% your imagination! ARGH!  |
Well.. if stuff like "I'm not <blah>" is only in my head, then so are the so called power and abilities I should be grateful for :/
But the truth is, alot of this stuff is noticeable by others, therefore it isn't really made up

Yeah I did list ego as one of the main problems... how do I get rid of it ?

I'm not sure I want any meaning any more... it won't matter in the end :/
I wanted to become an influential politician, partially for my own reasons (being admired by others?) and partially to help the country (I don't live in the US just fyi)

Nah.. he was just being honest, and I respect that. And he's probably, at least partially, right. Probably cause I whined to him alot :/
