Voting, Elections, Demo Cracy

voting, elections, demo cracy

If we argue that by not participating in elections, we're making a statement that we reject the political system and we don't even want to take part in the system, we're being stupid

We're already a part of the political system, politics pervades the society and us

Elections give us a chance to influence the system

By not voting, you're making yourself more powerless

86 units shy of a stupid degree

I don't have a marketing degree, so I work harder than those with one.

I don't have that piece of paper to point to when people ask for my qualifications so I've built a body of work that I can point to instead.

Work that I've poured my everything into.

Work that shows bottom-line improvement numbers because I don't have grades to show.

When I take up a project I put my back into it because I know that if I fail people won't attribute it to market conditions, budget constraints, or bad luck but to my lack of a marketing degree, formal education, and theoretical knowledge.

seek different experiences

Just doing or experiencing one thing continuously in life leads to fatigue, boredom, and a mundane life

You need to do and experience different things

For example, with your partner if you just have positive experiences, it'll wear them out and you'll become less excited the next time a positive experience happens. You need to also experience negative things with your partner.

This being said, the concept of "balance" is not true here. You shouldn't have the same number of positive and negative experiences. Negative ones should be less and interspersed throughout the positive ones.

be irrational

It's irrational to want happiness while knowing about all the fucking world events and personal tragedies

But there's no other way to achieve happiness

You cannot keep the events and tragedies aside. You have to live with them. And by being irrational about it, by still wanting to be happy despite those things, you'll get happiness

It's rational to worry about finances and parents, be irrational and be in the moment, and think happy thoughts
