Jesus vs. the rest of the world

Even though I am not Christian by nature, I find that Jesus had undeniable courage and enlightenment to say the things he did in a world that was so against him. The preaching he brought even brought him to the grave. But enough about Jesus. What about me? How can I go on in life knowing that at my tender age of 20 many people have already accomplished much more than me? What does that say about me? I guess it says that I'm just very patient. Some people, at my age, have already gotten married, performed surgery, composed symphonies. But that sort of thing is not for me. Well, I would like to compose a comedic symphony if at all possible. But I would not want to cure cancer, because I feel that I don't really want to right now. Sure, I know that there is a way to effectively cure cancer and I do believe it is non-medical, but many people would disagree with me. Look at the world around us. How many things can you name that are KNOWN to cause cancer? Exactly. And how many more items will there be before we all die? Millions, I say. But in a battle for power over cancer, we overlook some of the most basic things. Smoking. If you are a smoker, why do you do it? You know it causes cancer, but then again, who cares right? You're only going to shave ten to thirty years off your life. Who cares about senior citizen's bingo night? Who really cares about athritis medicine? I also don't like people who use alcohol because it is a very addictive substance and it is very possible, with the amount of alcoholics in the world, to become thoroughly addicted for your whole life and certainly ruin your health and the health of others. So don't drink too much, okay? It's just not good for you. And don't kill yourself over something stupid. Don't jump off a bridge because you have bad credit or because your girlfriend broke up with you. It will pass in its own perfect time, ya mean? Just kidding about the ya mean part. Had to put it in though. Anyway, people dying stupid deaths really gets to me, too. People who get hit by cars or don't buckle up when they're in their car and get hit by another car and die. That is just a meaningless death. But we mourn these people as if they're something great. At people's funerals, mostly good things are said about every individual, probably becasue we try not to remember the bad stuff. But there are bad things in people's life. And we deserve to say them, even after the person is gone. But why go to the funeral at all if all you're going to say are bad things? I wouldn't go to that funeral, would you? But all you have to remember is that nothing really matters until you make it matter, so make the most of your life. It's not going to be around forever. That's all I have to say for today. Consciousness bless.
