The reason behind it

For the first actual post of this blog, I am going to start with something that is really serious for me right now. Several weeks ago, my two best friends had a near death experience. I would have been with them if it wasn't for food poising. Anyway, they both ended up in the hospital for several weeks.

This is my first real experience of Death

Its really amazing that we can go through life and ever be bored. Any second, "This shit could light up" and you could be dead. Just like that. So the concept for this post is,

Chrono-Economics

Broken down, Chrono=Time, economics=the management of a medium. put it together and it is how people manage their time. On average, Humans have about 80 years on earth. then its over. even if you believe in a higher power, still your time as a human is up. why would you just barely make it through life? what purpose would that serve? If we cant have fun then why are we here?

Think about your day for a moment. Did you have any fun? or did you work the whole day, sit around and do nothing, did you spend any time at all doing something that you actually wanted to do?

Students kill themselves for perfect grades.

Grown men work jobs they hate.

Mothers join the bookclub and cook the same dinner every. single. night.

78% of people in America claim that they are unhappy with their lives

The main idea of this post is to ask, why do we do things we don't want to do? why in the world would we waste our short life doing things that don't make us happy?

It makes no sense to me, and I am dedicated to stop it.

As soon as you are done reading this post, ask yourself, "What do I want to do right now?" and then do it, no matter what it is go do it. visit family, eat a cheeseburger, hell, go to Europe! any second could be your last. make the most of it.

Just to start

To start this blog, I will go as simple as i possibly can. I like to think of myself as a modern day philosopher. This blog will simply be whatever I may be thinking about at the time. I plan on presenting all of the information in a theory/philosophical concept format.

I have always loved to talk to people about the world, society in general and any kind of a higher power, but people don't always like to listen to my ramblings about whatever i may be thinking about at the time, so i decided to put my ideas into a blog.

I hope that someday, someone might read this blog and actually enjoy it.

Pilgrim is not my real name so don't try and find me on Facebook. I like the idea of anonimity because then i can say whatever i want, piss people off if i need to and share my true opinions. It is basically a way to avoid peer pressure and "going with the flow" with my ideas.

that is the beginning
