Perspective As To Why One Might Want To Consider Vegetarianism

All my life, whenever I met a vegetarian I would laugh and say to them that their vegetarianism wont stop animals from being killed. I would go as far as to share with them a stupid joke I once heard. "What were vegetarians called 1000 years ago? Bad hunters."

Only recently a thought occurred to me. Perspective is a very important thing. Without it you wouldn't be able to decipher what is going on in your life from the outside in.

And so, let's take a quick look at the difference between us and animals. There is only one thing that separates us and that is the ability to reflect on things and to actually step out from a situation and come up with reasons why we should/shouldn't do certain things.

In my opinion, when one actually thinks about it, animals which we eat, like cows, sheep, chickens, turkeys etc.. These animals, if they too had the ability to step out of a situation and look at it from the outside in (had a higher level of intelligence) - if they had consciousness like we do, I believe that they would choose to not kill and eat us.

Only recently did a certain image pop into my head. This image is of a farm somewhere with filthy, overly fed, naked and freezing people bunched together in a pen like cattle, whilst a pig with a Levi's jacket, a cowboy hat and a shotgun was standing outside of it, looking on.

Given this context, as ridiculous as it might seem, I simply find it hard to continue to eat meat, even if my lack of contribution to the act does nothing to end the murder of these animals. Same way I would have wanted nothing to do with the holocaust, even fought against it because of how wrong it was, I see little difference here.

Now when I walk around and see people eating meat and smiling and going on like it's ok, I can't help but think how in the future when perspective is more a common thing that this will be looked at as barbaric, brutal and vulgar.

Anyway, to conclude I can say that since I stopped eating meat I feel much lighter and healthier. I am a lot calmer and more serene. I truly hope that in the future I am in a position to make real change regarding this issue.

How To Break Free From The Oppression Of Creative Thought Caused By The Daily Grind.

Mental Chatter:
What must be understood straight away is that we are stuck with a roommate in our heads from the beginning until the end of our lives. With this person we strategize, we build our realities, we bring to fruition our goals or we suppress them, fear them and others or cease to be creative.

Mental Conditioning:
It should be understood that we can train our thoughts to serve us. If done right, you can catch your thoughts straying from the objective and whip it back into place. It's important to remember that the only thing that differentiates us from animals is this ability to step out from a situation, examine it and come up with ways to tackle situations. So, if you step out from your daily grind and you examine your days activities and interactions with a mind similar to a childs, in that you are seeing things fresh, then you have the benefit of coming up with solutions for problems you were too busy to even realize had solutions beforehand.

Reality:

I think it's very important to realize that we affect reality much more so than reality affects us. If you step outside of your situation, look at the big picture, you may realize that the reality you're living doesn't fit well with the capabilities you possess. Examine things critically and then use your mental chatter to create steps that will lead to an altered reality, a better one.

Menial Tasks:
If your day is filled with tasks that are menial, keep one thing in mind. No matter what you do you can do it best if you love it. Start to love what you do however much you might hate it. Realize that you a contributor to a hierarchical system and if you are seen as doing whatever you're doing, well, it will be noticed. After you master your given task you need to start to brainstorm as to how to make it all better. Not only what you do but other things at whatever organization you're a part of.

Implementation:
All is nice and fine when written down but how do we live things up? Read books that have to with self improvement, sharpen your mind with books that discuss how innovators think. Condition yourself with thoughts of success and realities that you CAN make awesome for yourself. Keep focused (always) on the task at hand and catch and correct yourself when you stray from productive thought.

Conclusion:
It's displeasing to me when I see people with lifeless eyes riding the subway into Manhattan in the morning. Like caged animals. These people need to realize that it's no coincidence that the world is the way it is, these people need to wake up and get a little rowdy over the fact that they are conditioned by society/TV as to how to think, what to do, what class they might be in, all nonsense that is placed there to stop people from thinking and innovating.

Proper answers to questions asked at job interviews to trigger emotional responses.

Q- Why is this role of interest to you?
A- This role will allow me to flex my muscles and prove my prowess to the industry.

Q- What results do you want to achieve?
A- I want to make a splash with innovative and progressive methods with which to penetrate the market in a lasting and notable way.

Q- How will this role help you to achieve what you want?
A- It will give me the tools necessary to get done what I have the experience and ambition to bring to fruition. A mechanic can't work without the proper tools.

Q- What do you consider to be a few of your strengths?
A- People gravitate towards me. I understand the average persons emotional and motivational thinking and use this to discuss with people things that matter to them rather than those that do not.
Also, professionalism starts for me when my eyes first open in the morning.

Q-  Who is responsible for your results?
A- The authors of knowledge bestowed upon me by many a great writers in history, and mentors I've met along the way. Those who have taught me to reign in my creativity and put structure into my way of life.

Q- What makes you laugh?
A- Not much. But those who take themselves too seriously are a start.

Q- When is the last time you were embarrassed?
A- I was on the Q train heading home and in between stops became sick. It wasn't pretty.

Q- What happened? How did you handle the situation?
A- Got off next stop and got on the next train after feeling better.

Q- What activities energize and excite you?
A- Strategizing to come up with formulas as to how to approach situations.
Watching something I birthed grow.

Q- How do you have fun?
A- See question above.

Q- What are two personal habits that have served you well?
A- The ability to walk away from anything that doesn't serve me.
My ability to integrate the correct people for the correct tasks.

Q- How good are you at accepting help from others?
A- As good as others are at giving it.

Q- How good are you at asking for help?
A- It is a natural response that emanates from within a conversation about any one thing. Without the incorporation of others ideas and abilities I would not get close to as much done.

Q- What is one of the internal battles to have each day?
A- Not sure if this is a typo but I'll answer both questions with one answer. The only internal battle is when I notice that maybe my roommate upstairs (Mental Chatter) might not be serving me appropriately, put it in line and move on.

Q- What makes you angry?
A- Not people but things. Things like an archaic political election system that could work light years better with todays technology/thinkers. Things like the lack of perspective when people do certain things like wear fur or eat animals.

Q- What aspect of your work you are passionate about?
A- I've learned to love what I do, so I do it with love.

Q- How could you create more balance in your life?
A- I can't.

Q- Who inspires you?
A- Great authors and thinkers like Krishnamurti http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiddu_Krishnamurti
And Paulo Freire who wrote Pedagogy of the Oppressed.
People who share and exhibit revolutionary thoughts.

Q- On an “average day” would you consider yourself a high or low energy person?
A- Very high energy, abrupt and direct.

Q- On an “average day” is your main focus on results and tasks or people and emotions?
A- Everything everyday is focused on the homeostasis of this carnival of madness that is the world in order to meet noble long term goals.

Lately

The days of late have been good times indeed. Last weekend I was skiing with one of my best friends Ronnie Armani. I thought we were simply going up to ski but we ended spending the night and partying like we were 17 again. Good times were had and we're going again this weekend. Wyndham probably. Work is good at a software start-up on the upper west side. It's blistering cold these days and any part of your body/flesh that is exposed starts to burn when outside for too long. I'm looking forward to some warm weather which according to my iphone weather app should be coming soon. I haven't been dating and feel it's time I change that. What keeps me from it is the fact that since returning from Israel I've been staying at my parents and that hits at my confidence and anyhow where will I bring a girl that wants to come with me - to my bedroom in my parents house? I miss writing here and will do so more often.

Thanks for reading...

Sanity is uncomfortable

Lying on the cusp of sanity and of reality, leaning toward an endless abyss I retreat to places, things, and people that are familiar to me. For safety. Like my blog, like my dog. Like a child lost, I am thinking wildly and not sure what to do with myself. I typically write here whenever I am furthest from the normal me. I am the furthest I have ever been now. Been playing ping pong with two countries - Israel and the US. Lost as to where to rest my head, but discovering much about myself that has been unfound through the years due to inertia and busy thought. Delusional in a sense but cautious so as not to lose this "person" that everybody is familiar with. Likely to disappear quietly so as not to hassle anybody - including myself, from life. Leaving clues like a trail from a cookie. Feeling fragile as water in a falling glass cup. Moving on, I question every synapse. What am I doing? Where am I going? Who am I hurting? Where do I place myself?

San Francisco

I should mention, I have never seen freakier looking people than there are here in San Fran. The homeless are not only homeless but are very strange looking. I was told I should expect this being that it's the west coast but boy am I surprised. Also, never seen more people talking to themselves. Everytime I do, I look for an earpiece thinking they're on their phone but nope, just crazy. Anyway, I've only been here for a short while so I can't give my true take just yet. I'll be sure to update by the time I leave here on the 11th.

Moving to Tel-Aviv

By mid Sept I will be back in the holy land living and working in North Tel-Aviv. Offered a great package, I simply couldn't say no to a recent offer made by an Israeli e-commerce software company. Rip and I see good times ahead.
