The Life and Times of Me

Eric, just for you:
My Thoughts

The world is seen in many perspectives by many people. The perspective you choose is often related to your up bringing and economic status. Most people have friends whose perspective of live is similar to their own. Why is that? This often seems to be because people don’t like to argue. If another person’s life perspective is different from yours you may initially get along well, soon it may become apparent however that you just disagree or get annoyed with one and other. I would say that this is an important step in life; learning to distinguish between those who are similar to you and those who aren’t. I have a problem; I like to see myself as an individual and therefore don’t think there is anyone else like me in the world. I have friends who I have chosen because they understand and accept me. Many people see me as an eccentric with silly ways and useless ideas. To me they are close minded and they are only thinking logically rather than both logically and laterally.

Young people today are said to be politically apathetic, I would disagree, and they express their politics in other ways. No longer marching for what they believe in but buying to show their political persuasion. I heard a flat mate of mine say the other day that they didn’t want to start earning as they would have to pay tax. To me tax is a duty. Most top earners will never notice the tiny amount of money taken from their pay package. Tax is a way for us to continue having free education, free health services and sanitation. Tax is also a reflection of a democratic society.

As a self proclaimed socialist I don’t think its right for me to go and spend money on expensive named clothes that were made for next to nothing in less economically developed countries were labourers earn less in a year than I get in week. A conservative or capitalist however wont have a problem with this- money is theirs to be spent or saved as they want, the individual is important and no one else.

I was asked recently how you know when you’re in love. This got me thinking. What signs are there? When you first meet someone you just feel lust towards them. As you get to know the person better your feelings develop and as well as lust you start to get a more emotional and intellectual connection. I think that this mixture of lust, emotions and intellect is what love is. You therefore know that you love someone when you no longer just want the physical contact caused by lust but are happy with the emotional and intellectual contact.

Mad said to me today that I have to be careful, just because I’ve snogged someone it doesn’t mean that they will put up with me taking the piss out of them; is this true I wonder? It is now making me worry, have I crossed the line? Maybe I will ask!

Meetings go well if there are aims, objectives and people willing to compromise.

Arguments can be fun, only if they can be resolved and there is no chance of them becoming violent. A good argument also has to have two sides that are willing to be involved and have reasoning’s behind their points.

Football is a none religious sport which has many religious connotations especially within Christianity. Especially in Scotland. People in Scotland ask what football team you support just so they can find out if you’re a catholic or protestant; why is that? Really it is none of their business and not really important in the grander scheme of things.

I would love to have my own small holding, so I can keep some a goat, a horse and some chickens. Maybe I’ll have a vegetable plot as well and a Landrover. This is a pipe dream although I would love it. Maybe also have a little stream or river running along the bottom of it.
