Rant 012 / "Leadership qualities are practically oozing out of me! Look, even my fart smells of Leadership!"

When you're in a French restaurant, don't order a "quickie". Quiche is pronounced as "keesh". Unless, of course, you are interested in a short but intimate relationship with vegetables, seafood or meat.

Hillary may be the next U.S. President. Blue shirt, anyone?

To want!

Desire is not a sin! It is what makes us us!

Hopes and wishes are all formed from desire. To hope for nothing, to wish for nothing, to want nothing, is to be nothing. Even a unicellular organism desires to live. It is inborn, a gift for the strong, a curse for the weak. But to ignore it, one is to be unnatural.

Gah!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ever wondered why some people always seem indecisive when asked what they want, yet when they are given something, they suddenly become as decisive as anyone else, in such a way they reject what is given because it "is not what I want".

To answer such a question with such an answer as "anything" is spouting nonsense. The fact is that the person who is answering really knows what is wanted, but feels it hard to admit the truth, for one reason or another. It may be because the truth is absurd, or the answerer's honest reply is in conflict with what the person wants to be seen as.

In short, there is a lack of guts to face the truth, to admit the truth.

Cowards.

Sheep.

Bullshit.

If you want to eat "anything", there's food floating in my toilet. No, I know what you mean. "Anything" here would mean "anything edible". The ketchup's free. Enjoy.

The thing I hate about such people is not because they answer with such an indecisiveness. What I dislike is when they reject what is given in the end. "Anything" does mean anything.
If there is something not wanted, tell us what is wanted then. Few of us are psychics. Those who are, wouldn't be here serving you anyway.

Indecisiveness is understandable. When overwhelmed with a large amount of choices, the mind cannot accommodate so many new things and become confused. But come on, just choose something, at random if you cannot decide on anything. Choosing something you do not like by mistake is better than rejecting what others chose for you. If anyone else can know you better than yourself, you're pretty much a failure. The fact is, no one but your parents, siblings and lover can know you as well as yourself. No one else really cares about you like this group of people. Therefore, do not expect anyone to know what to decide for you when you cannot decide for yourself!

If the worst comes, and you cannot allow yourself to choose even randomly, accept what is decided in the end. It is never their fault for the wrong choice. You were the one who cannot express what you desire. You were the one who let others choose what is good for you. If you are unable to bring yourself to accept the decision made by them, you should have said something more than just "anything".

This applies to all facets of life. Whether it is something as small as a meal, or something far more important like marriage, a decision you gave to others to decide must be accepted by you, good or bad. It is only logical.

Calmness is always necessary to argue the right way. Anger can lead to incoherence, in speech and in thought. Precisely why I don't argue. I get pissed easily, especially when I find that the other guy is arguing for the sake of arguing. Many people do that when I burst their ego bubble. Argument is healthy as a form of hobby (lol) but it is absolutely useless when it comes to important decisions that require a fast response. Like a rescue mission. You can argue about the whether or not the person is worth risking the volunteers' lives, or you can argue the best method to rescue that person. In the end, you are just indirectly trying to kill that poor guy.

If unable to decide, and time is running out, choose anything. If a wrong choice is made, you may just be able decide on the right one quickly next time. Take that mistake as a lesson. And don't fuck around with others just because you suck.
