"Ataraxia (ἀταραξία "tranquillity") is a Greek term used by Pyrrho and Epicurus for a lucid state, characterized by freedom from worry or any other preoccupation.
For the Epicureans, Ataraxia was synonymous with the only true happiness possible for a person. It signifies the state of robust tranquility that derives from eschewing faith in an afterlife, not fearing the gods because they are distant and unconcerned with us, avoiding politics and vexatious people, surrounding oneself with trustworthy and affectionate friends and, most importantly, being an affectionate, virtuous person, worthy of trust."
I think my ultimate goal now has a name.
all that sounds pretty good to me right now. I am a religous person thi like I believe in God but I don't believe in asking him for help like I appreciate all that (s)hes done, doing and will do but life is a sidewalk I have to walk and althouh it is by the grace of god I walk them sidewalks I choose to walk em alone.
Anyway back to Ataraxia I first heard of the idea in the movie Lucky Number Slevin. The protagonist attributed his lack of concern for his safety due to Ataraxia. It caught my interest from then on.
Now me I've practiced apathy before and it was insipid like everything was soo gray. I started to give a fuck about life a little and I've been happier ever since. But this is a different type of philosophy, a different mindset, one I would like to achieve it's not like I'm far away from it though but as of right now I'm sooooooo hungry for alotta things I gotta become preoccupied, I gotta worry just a lil but that's what makes this state so special.
It's being in love with yourself and where you are. Surrounding yaself with positive people and believing that you are worth everything. strangely It sounds like a "living peace" within yourself that usually only comes with death otherwise...
If i was president...I'd shoot a member of congress during the inauguration and have MY army raid the ceremony while sending a communications signal to change every channel to the inauguration ceremony. During this I'd show the body on live TV [ >:-) ] n I'd proclaim that the checks n balances that have been present throughout the life of our nation has been as dead as this congressman for as Long as this congressman has been dead.
I'll declare a new world order for "the people and by the people through me". I'd build the white house and make it the largest building In the US with walls as thick as the catskill mountains so that no one could get me.
I'd have first second and third ladies ... Fourth would be oD (although i am the Prez niggaa lol) iite
Thought:: download Beenie mans album with "girls" on it feat akon
Where was I
If I was president
Iite so it would just be me up top and my underlings (congress) who don't do shit but agree with whatever me..the leader have to say and they report to me on what their people want. Since they will be representing the people in their respective districts. They tell me what they want and I deliver if the logistics look right and if they don't hen I try to make em look right by taking over neighboring countries and having dialogue with other nations (example).
If a nation even speaks Ill of me and my people they will get fucked up...dead ass. Hmm some things never change but No nukes cause there gotta be an actual world for me to rule it no? I'll just send one of my highly trained assasins to cut the head off any nation that fuck wih the N.W.O.U.S.D.V. (its a working title).
The world will either fear me or respect me but heavy is the head that wears the crown. Besides it's not like anyone can hurt me...it's been 4 years already and no ones seen me since the inaguration but they know I'm still here cuz shits all good, everyones eating.
Healthcare is government regulated.
Cars companies are forced to adapt and there are flying cars now instead of the fuel dependent shits we actually have.
The department of treasury takes care of everyone banking needs all banks are out of business and are now operating under my umbrella. Intrest rates have been lowered.
Every mothafuckwith AIDS, HIV,hPV, UTI n the like now have their names on a government website for public record. Before u fuck with dick and jane... Check the website...it may save your life and eventually help us get rid of this aids isht.
Yea free speech would be ok but if u talkin about me imna get mad...I mean it's only natural and I'm a man of complete power so I'd advise against it...all the rush limbaughs and Ann coulters and even the Bill mahers and i luv that dude (no homo) shit even jay leno If I had a bad day n u gettin at me... I'd advise them to hide out after it or some shit. If I won the election chances are that rush has met an unfortunate accident the next day anyway lol
Hmm iite that's it lol
OK soo Iunno why i wrote this its just that congress n shit is cockblocking OD on this health bill and i just wanted a story where i can shoot a con gr"i" ssma n (aint no one govt offishal finding this and coming for my ass). I mean Rome wasn't built in a day and in no way am i saying the president can't do a better job than my socialist/ dictatorial ass lol. I just want things done really. By gods grace it will.
Iite back to business now iunno what I is but the issue of time and the past has been flooding my mind.
Now when u think about it every second that passes is a fraction of time u will never get back... you can save it so that u eventually have free time down the line but you cant stop it. The only thing that makes the past a factor is us. Our heads and hearts give the seconds, minutes, days, years significance...
Like for example one day u chillin boo'd up (i hate that word) wit someone and y'all break up on shitty terms the only thing that's keepin them prevalent and in your life is you. If one deletes the person outright from their life who's to say you've ever met them. You lose someone ...u format ur hard drive and let time do it's thing. eventually they will be replaced and forgotten but thats only comes with time, especially if you were close. U may not know if you'll ever get over em or if you'll ever see em again but one thing that is certain is that time will continue on and what you do from the minute yall split is on you...u wanna wallow in whatever you're feeling? anger, fear, sadness or do you wanna keep it movin?
Every dissappointing thing that has happened in ya life... let it roll off ya back b. cuz time won't let u catch a breather the faster you get over it the better...and as your "present" becomes further and further away from that said dissappointing thing the better you'll be.
On the flipside tho time is constantly shaving pieces of our life as it goes on. Minutes, days years..will be lost as we breath yea there will be another 9pm, Tuesday and 2000sumthing but it won't be the same..
Ain't no time like the present...
