Who Be John The Cynic?

John the Cynic — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 08:10:42 +0000

I am a Cynic in the spirit of Diogenes and Crates, yet I find inspiration in the true teachings of Jesus of Galilee, who was himself a cross-breed Cynic/Gnostic teacher and enlightened reformer. I appreciate the value in Gnostic teachings, but I consider a small portion of their sayings rubbish.

If you dare describe me as anything, then I’m a Cynic influenced by Gnostic and Deist teachings.

On Meditation

Too often does man strip themselves of their very essence by continually focusing outward, draining themselves of vital energy on trivial pursuits and unimportant things.

A reservior of bountiful, endless energy awaits you by shutting off the world, digging deep within yourself, and tapping the brilliant spark of life.

If you don’t meditate on what lies within, it’s better to fall asleep in a comfortable slumber than interact with the flesh-eating zombies of this world. Think about it!

On Caring

There’s quite a few so-called civilized Americans who put on a good show, acting as if they care about your situation and apparent suffering. However, most people care less about you and only ask because they feel obligated to do so.

Their so-called caring would go immediately out the window if they were starving and you were the only flesh in sight. Their true cannibal instincts would be revealed its horrific, gruesome glory.

On Politicians

I’m surprised that Americans have not gone into the Capitols, dragged out their lawmakers and politicians, and beaten them to a bloody pulp in the streets.

I don’t condone this type of extreme behavior, but I’m utterly surprised at how the herd continues to listen and obey their masters.

I’m not sure who to pity more. The dirty politicians or the mindless, gullible herd?

On Bankers

I’d rather rebuke a thousand and one bankers than be forced to take a loan from those sharks. I will go tooth to nail with anyone who makes a living profiting deceitfully from bait and switch tactics.

On Being Civil

John the Cynic — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 15:06:37 +0000

People too often focus on being civil and pleasant, attempting so hard to please mankind at every turn. In this vain attempt and endless pursuit of pleasing others, they have turned themselves into miserable bastards!

On Modern Technology

Smash your computer to tiny bits before it destroys your mind, zaps your energy, and ruins your soul. A computer is a waste of time that keeps you trapped in enddless loops of search and play, keeping you away from the very Nature that gave you life. There is no true joy and happiness in modern technology.

On Stupidity

John the Cynic — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 14:35:55 +0000

When unchecked, stupidity breeds further stupidity. Unfortunately, no one is beyond the arm’s reach of stupidity.

On Abortion

It is better to abort a fetus than produce a miserable human that later faces hell on earth.
