New Nazareth as they call me, I have a lot to say about whatever it is that you think I am about to say. People have questions about reality, people have things to say about what they believe in, people have thoughts on what they think is right and what they think isn’t right and I sometimes don’t know how to go about thinking about that. Who has the right to tell me that I am right or wrong, who has the right to tell me that I cannot be who I want to be? I have questions of my own, but I have to be careful with how I ask them because they might be too offensive to someone out there, it gets so confusing at times as to what is okay to say and what isn’t okay to say, we are all victims of our own realities. We subject ourselves to hardships that make no sense, for some reason in most societies success is always linked with struggle, to me that doesn’t seem like a good motto to have because as human beings it is in our nature to avoid pain of any kind. Struggle is subjective, hard work is subjective, and a lot of things in life are subjective as well as relative. When successful people give the advice to work hard I often wonder whether they understand what they are talking about, it sounds good to say that but there is only one problem, what does working hard even mean? People brag about only having four hours of sleep and getting back to grinding, well your body needs to relax and rejuvenate itself so what is the point of working hard for something that you aren’t going to enjoy as much because of the complications that come with your body not having enough rest for a long period of time. Same answer I always give when people ask me what are some of the reasons why I don’t smoke or drink. One of my answers always go something like this, “why would I subject myself to possible future complications that are going to be detrimental to my life, why would I subject myself to the possibility of living in pain in the future, your body is a vessel and it has cells and these cells will take anything you give them if you give them junk then they will become junk and before you know it you are diabetic or develop some form of cancer that was avoidable, and now you find yourself having to live in debt with all those medical bills and that is assuming your country is well developed to even have the medical technology for your needs…”

See I think too much and that is the best thing about New Nazareth.
