I am a Man

I am a Man.
I do what I like.
And I don't like screwing up other people's life.
I respect those who earn my respect by respecting my freedom.
I like to deal with, help those from whom I get "value" in exchange.
Value can be anything that advances me in my life.
It can be money, goodwill, love or respect.
Value cannot be unearned.
Favour is not a value.
So is not power or force.
I do not initiate force.
Not for my advantage, not for any fun.
That should be enough.
That should be ALL you need to be a Man, or Human if you please.

But you impose upon me "duties", "responsibilities", "social contracts", "obligations", "accountability", "answerability", "sacrifices" for things I don't like, don't do and never asked for.
You want me to share your burden and guilts.
The burden that you took upon yourselves.
And the guilt that you did that.
You try to impose upon me your faulty and distorted notions.
You do that all the time and almost always win and get away with it too.
Because you are the majority.
And your notions of Right and Wrong are all inside out.
You rule by force.
You manipulate, sentimentalise everything.
You inflict mental tortures.
When that doesn't help, you cause physical pain.

But being the majority doesn't mean you are right.
It doesn't change what's right, no matter with what righteous and condescending air you lash your whips.
Your ignoring the facts doesn't alter the reality.
And your blindness doesn't blind me.
I see through your whips what you try not to see.
In my book, you are not fit to be called Man.

My alternative

My alternative? Stop being the part of this system...this democratic farce, this collectivist humbug and just be concerned about what you do. No voting, no movements, no concerns for negative things in which you don't have any direct contribution. Stop watching TV, especially news channel, don't read newspapers. Just and only just...do your work - Honestly, sincerely. If you're a "cause" man, make self-improvement your only cause. There's a lot you can achieve when you channelize your energies and calibre towards this one single cause rather than wasting it in these superficial concerns. Be a hardcore individualist, deal with people you have to deal with with utmost integrity and rationality. Sounds impractical or utopian? You have all the evidence of the so called "practical" and "pragmatic" alternatives scattered all around you. See for yourself, think for yourself and choose accordingly. I have.

No leaders

Leader, by implication, means there is a sheep herd following him. And since I don't like these "sheep herds", I don't like the concept of the poor straw-men, the use and throw martyrs, they call their leaders. The fact that people need "leaders" (or at least label them that, as unwilling as the poor bastards maybe) for the stupidest of causes and so wasted reasons like telling each other not to kill each other or to kill each other or to not infringe upon the freedom of the next man, next state, next country or to breach the freakin' hell out of it, makes me want no part of it. So, no leaders, no revolutions, no movements, no causes for me. Only individuals - Responsible, with incorruptible integrity and intelligence. Too much to ask I know but I'm not losing hope as yet.
