Ever noticed how experience is valued that saying that one has decades of experience in a certain field automatically makes one an expert?
So if some really bad parents who teach their children all the wrong things and end up with kids who are alive( but wishing they were dead) comes up to you and cite their 30 years of successful (hey, their kids are still doing well... in rehab) experience in the field of Parental Guidance, would you listen to their advices or buy their "How-to-be-a-successful-parent" books?
Experience would have been a useful measure of expertise, if not for the millions of losers who suck at what they do and still stay in their jobs.
Now why is that?
Simple. There are jobs that will always be there, whether or not anyone wants to fill that seat. If no one smart goes for it, then eventually, someone not-so-smart will appear and take that job. And all hell breaks lose, as it always does these days.
Like all the people whining about the government, never stopping to breathe and take a break, and making a fuss out of every little thing that the government does. If they're so smart to notice all those things that were done wrong, and knows how to do all these things right, why don't they come up and do it?
It's fine to speak up about things that don't satisfy you once in a while, but if you are going to talk as if you find the world offensive, why don't you do something about it?
This sense of belonging is overrated. Loyalty to a country is fine only if you are satisfied with the state of it. If you are really against how things are done in your country, why don't you just leave it for another country that does things just the way you like it? Instead of whining day and night about how high taxes are and how jobs are hard to find these days and how the government should do something about it?
Yea, this is what I'm saying: If you are unhappy about your country, and has no desire to do anything to improve it other than describing it to the world, then leave. It's not like anyone is going to try to kill you if you leave.
This sense of belonging is overrated. Loyalty to a country is not necessary if you do not love the country. The government is the country. The people is the country. And since the people chose the government, why doesn't the government represent the country?
And when I say "chose", I mean allowing them to wield power. Not doing anything about the government is the same as allowing them to go on, and that amounts to choosing them. Because if you aren't choosing them as your leaders, why do nothing about it except whine?
It is bullshit when someone digs up all sorts of deeds of the government, and put them in such a way that they seem so wrong, then end up doing nothing after that.
If you have a better way of doing things, use it. If you don't, make do with what you have. You can't have everything under the sun!
Sometimes, it is hard to tell whether suicide is the bravest thing a human can do, or the most cowardly. How can you say it is easier to die than to face your troubles, when no one alive has any personal experience in this? How can you say suicide is the hardest thing to do, when it seems so much like an escape instead of a solution?
Therefore, it is pointless to say that it is an extreme method. It is really just another method of dealing with trouble. There are worse ways than suicide when dealing with deep shit. At least it doesn't make the situation worse, after a while.
When someone accidentally makes a mistake, should he be held responsible for whatever happens from it?
How can he not be? If someone accidentally knocks a person down and kills him while driving, does it make him less guilty? Is the guy lying there less dead?
It is bullshit if you completely forgive someone who does something wrong by accident. People make mistakes alright. So... let's forgive all the soldiers who had, have and will kill their friends with their "friendly fire". Let's forgive all drivers who had, have and will cause accidents. Let's forgive all crimes that were done without deliberate intent. Including manslaughter.
