Cherry Blossom Rain: Addendum 151
On ILP I don’t send all of these (as you may have noticed)
Here’s 151
Cherry Blossom Rain: Addendum 151
Him:
You really don’t get it, Jason. You have misplaced sympathy for Doug. All he does is wander around, getting drunk and barking at the moon. He has no responsibility. He pays no taxes. He contributes nothing to society. Not one thing. He is a leech, sucking blood from the earth. Better to help a working parent trying to make ends meet. The Dougs of the world can go to hell. Truth.
Me:
That’s because you’ve never seen spirit. It’s not your fault. You’re a dust to dust guy who thinks in terms of survival of the fittest. It doesn’t work that way man. You’re over your head when you talk to someone like me… and there are billions of us… and it hurts your ego. I know the feeling man!! I actually like you a lot even though I’m a super genius at something you have no exposure to.
Think about it this way: what if Einstein was god and decided to send everyone to hell that didn’t understand E=mc^2?!?!
That’s fucking insane!!!
I understand something you don’t. I don’t hold it against you, you hold it against yourself and you shouldn’t.
Stop beating yourself up Rob! That’s why you lash out, you’re beating yourself up.
Fuck dude! You know all sorts of shit I don’t! Do you see me beating myself up about it? No.
You were raised to think that you have to be the man or nothing at all. I know you know this.
Dude, we all have different specializations. It’s that simple. Forgive yourself rob.
Him:
You should have been a preacher. God bless.
Me:
Kind of you to say…
I sit here with no church and drink and smoke with all of you…
I do better work than a preacher.
I hold the fort down.
You know what? I don’t hate myself.
The most important thing in all life is to not hate yourself.
It’s also the hardest thing to do.
I like you Rob. You’re trying.
Like I’ve told you a billion times; it’s all about friends and not being the boss.
I set my example for others.
