Little Epiphanies

Post here little epiphanies that you have and how they've helped you.

Here's something I thought of last night which I also posted in my journal:

I never liked to judge others. I guess this stemmed from the basic manners that I was taught when I was little. "Treat others the way you would want to be treated," they said. And I still don't know if I undertand that 100%, but I have an idea.

You have to treat everyone the same, and that's with respect and politeness. I've noticed that I've been straying from this path recently. I've been judging others, throwing around insults and being overall unpleasant at times. Basically I've been more "alpha," but that isn't what an alpha really is.

An alpha is a man who can inspire others to be better people. A true alpha doesn't have to tell others what to do, they just follow him.

This is who a real man is.
This is who I am aspiring to become, a real man.
I will bring out the man within me, and he will greet you with a friendly "Hello." Because he respects you.

hell Bubbzie, absolutely. An alpha is not the douche bag with two girls around his arm that says to those two chicks "hey look at that faggot", and there's a kid looking all nervous and scared that he's pointing to. an Alpha brings out the best in people. An alpha does not need to insult-neg anyone.

I've had probably about a dozen epiphanies i can think of in the past year. one that i can clearly remember took place during English, first block at around eight AM. I'm sitting there, and i just feel so uncomfortable, as always (at the time). I just feel so insecure and odd, and i hate it. Then i just think "everything is subjective", and generally things along the lines of "nothing is real, everything is permitted", which is actual what assassins in roman times would say to each other as a way of justifying what would soon be an assassination. I just start thinking (more) abstractly (than usual), like a LOT more, and suddenly i feel awesome. I'm thinking that compared to the massively large and old things around me, and the general behemoth of existence, myself and my problems are nothing, and they have no meaning to something so great. I feel super secure, very comfortable, but then i lose it (the security, temporarily). Anyway, that was somewhere around the winter of the previous school year, so around January 2009. and from then on i've had a bunch of epiphanies, but i think that one was cool because it's contributed to my belief that emotional discomfort can be very good for a person, can push that person beyond normally unreached boundaries of security.

I definitely get what ur saying Bubbzie, good post
