All You Failures
By V on Jan 21, 2008 in Quotes, Ramblings
This post goes out to all you failures in life.
One thing can rescue you from the life you now live.
This secret life you live has you feeling threatened. There is one thing that can rescue you from this feeling.
When there is a force that can remove you from your inner conditions ask yourself one thing, “What have I been doing with my life?”
You know the answer. You know the dreadful answer.
You spend your life as though the making of money is the object of it. You go through life in a daze as if the daze is the object of it.
You’ve been living a life with inner disaster and that’s all you have projected in life.
What have you been doing with your life? You’ve been wasting it.
You got married. You established a house. You went out and advanced your career yearly . . .
Come on.
You can read this and say that your entertainments, your home, and your career have you “made”.
Something knows that you don’t have it made. It has several names. One of them is called terror. You are in terror. Another name is nervousness.
How can you say you have a great life when you are a nervous human being?
How can anything in life be successful when you’re nervous and jittery?
How can you say you say you succeed at anything when your thoughts are filled with feelings of anxiety?
Aren’t you delighted to see your hopes exposed!?
Aren’t you glad to see that you’ve failed so far that with INTELLIGENCE you can correct it and no longer be a failure in life?

No one knows what a failure is in life only if you fail in your own eyes, or in gods, and that is it.
SO you are succesful if you think you are succesful, you are a failure if you think you are a failure, there is no way that sex defines passing or failing, life is most important to be complete as five tool player a well rounded person.
You are only a failure if you think you are a failure. You make yourself, nobody else makes you.
Damn, I love this blog. Awesome information, constant updates, and now existential philosophy? Sweeeet.
Seriously, though, this sounds a LOT like Kierkegaard, Heidegger, or Sartre. Especially Sartre. You might like his stuff, V.
I read a little bit of Kierkegaard, Heidegger and Sartre in University. I haven’t gotten into them of of late, but I will eventually.

V,
i read the related posts to this one. it seems that in comments people have two dilemmas:
1. relationships vs. fucking different chicks
2. marriage vs. single life.
Here is my take:
the first one is easily solved: have both, and don’t tell your gf. Men are built in a way of having a girl for regular sex, and keeping variety on the side. Call me immoral? a lier? a woman would do the same to you if she found an amazing guy that appealed to her “emotional connection”, and she will lie to you and justify it with her “bullshit generator”. so why can’t we do the same?
the second is also easily solved: while you are young, fuck, fuck, make money, and fuck some more. get married later. in your 40s? 50s perhaps?
now..why is this good? several reasons:
1. by the time you are in your 40s, you will fuck many many chicks, and have plenty of experience on how to handle them.
2. you will have developed your career, and have money. this will give you access to more women. Worried about women robbing you of your money? establish something BEFORE marriage and make it yours. i think that if you establish, say, a business before marriage, women have no claim to it.
3. marry a younger woman. younger than you by 10-15 years or so. remember, out of all the pick-up literature, women are emotional, not visual. it’s us, guys, who need hot women. women need “caring and kind” men. and they will go for you because you are already wordly, lived an interesting life, you take care of yourself, so you are not fat or anything, AND you fucked so many hot women that you (sort of) “got it out of your system”. (of course, i am not saying you should stop fooling around once you are married, if you feel like it).
4. why get married in the first place? well, i think that once you get older, and go into your 60s and 70s and so on, i would like to think that there is someone out there to help me if i need help. and i think there is a link between marriage and longevity. i mean, old men who are lonely, die earlier.
so, to recap: marry older, till then live adventurous life, make something BEFORE marriage, and ensure it’s yours. marry younger woman (much better for you lol) and marry purely out of survival instinct to not be alone when you are old.
guys, this is the first time i am posting my thoughts ever on a blog.
please comment. V, i would like your wise input.

Excellent thoughts Dimitry.
When you say relationships vs. fucking different chicks and marriage vs. single life you’re saying you can’t have both, but why can’t you?
First, I don’t just “fuck” different chicks. Fucking just helps the ego. I like to have SEXUAL RELATIONSHIPS with girls.
You consider marriage to be like the following definition:
A marriage is an interpersonal relationship with governmental, social, or religious recognition, usually intimate and sexual, and often created as a contract.The most frequently occurring form of marriage unites a man and a woman as husband and wife. …
I consider marriage to be more like this definition:
A close and intimate union; “the marriage of music and dance”; “a marriage of ideas”
I’m not ALWAYS around a girl (a marriage), so you could say that I have moments where I am single and moments where I’m in marriage.
Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless - like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.

V,
you just took the marriage intitution and completely turned it on its head. I love it.
you echoed two of my favorite concepts: flow and vibe. Both i actually learned from a chick (in a different context), but back then i used to make fun of her. In the last couple of years i find myself using them more and more. They imply flexibility, adaptation and change which is essential in our ever-changing world.
Also, i recommend to everyone reading “The Ingenuity Gap” by Thomas Homer-Dixon. This guy echoes the notion that our rigid way of thinking about things may not be enough to solve the problems of the future.

Making money and having a career is pretty important, even if you have solid game. Surely you don’t want to end up relying on government hand outs.
Many of us work hard because it comes naturally, we do work that we enjoy, and/or we we’re tired of the jobs and lifestyle we had previously. A comfortable house in a safe and pleasant neighborhood, and a safe, reliable car are worthwhile goals at a minimum. Having money for entertainment and hobbies, as well as having an emergency reserve are worthwhile as well.
Money and careers are worthless, in my opinion. I see neither as important.
If you do something you love to do, and as a result get paid for it, then I see THAT as being important.
Working harder isn’t necessarily working smarter.
When you get comfort you also get decay. Think of owning your own business. If you work your ass off to develop a business, and then relaxed, you’ll soon find competitors chipping away at your market-share.
If you you’re looking safety and pleasantness in your environment then I’ll tell you right now, you’ll never find it. The only pleasant/safe environments I’ve seen were in movies; Pleasantville and The Truman Show.

“Money and careers are worthless, in my opinion. I see neither as important.”
The alternative may be charity, or a lifetime of working crummy jobs that eat your mind and/or body.
“Working harder isn’t necessarily working smarter.”
They’re complements, not substitutes. You should do both (though not work so hard that your health or mental life is affected long term).
Being exposed to the elements, noise, pollution, crime, these things cause decay, both physical and mental. It doesn’t have to be a mansion, and “roughing it” a bit while you’re young is acceptable.
I live in a very pleasant and safe environment right now, and it sure beats some of the places I lived before. Women like pleasant and safe environments.
