Make yourself.

A recent stumble..

The world is meaningless, there is no God or gods, there are no morals, the universe is not moving inexorably towards any higher purpose. All meaning is man-made, so make your own, and make it well. Do not treat life as a way to pass the time until you die.

Do not try to \"find yourself\", you must make yourself. Choose what you want to find meaningful and live, create, love, hate, cry, destroy, fight and die for it. Do not let your life and your values and you actions slip easily into any mold, other that that which you create for yourself, and say with conviction, \"This is who I make myself\".

I agree 100% with you. You are who you choose to be. Live your life on your own terms. Don't do/say/think/be who or what society tells you to be. Live on your own terms with your own goals. Texas Representative Carl Isset told me last year to "Live a life of passion" and those words stuck with me.
As far as morals go, dont do things because some god/church/etc told you too. Treat all fellow humans with respect and dignity not because you are afraid of some divine punishment but because that is the right way to do it. How many wars have been fought in the name of religion? The Crusades are a prime example. So is a majority of conflict in the Middle East. I dont mean to sound like I'm bashing on religion, but the fact remains that not only does religion not stem conflict, but it has occasionally started it. Treat all people equally because the alternative is conflict, which is utterly pointless. Sorry about rambling on, but this means alot to me as far as my life goes.

If I hadn't made me, I would've been made somehow..
If I hadn't assembled myself, Id've fallen apart by now.
If I hadn't made me, I'd be more inclined to bow.
Powers that be, Would have swallowed me up
But that's more than I can allow.
But...

If you let them make you, they'll make you Paper-Mache
At a distance you're strong, until the wind comes
Then you'll crumble and blow away.
If you let him fuck you there will be no foreplay.
Rest assured, They'll screw you complete, Until your ass is blue and grey!

You should make amends with you,
If only for better health.
But if you really want to live,
Why not try, and Make yourself?
Make yourself (Make yourself)

If I hadn't made me, I'd have fallen apart by now.
I won't let them make me..It's more than I can allow.
So when I make me, I won't be paper-Mache..
And if I fuck me...I'll fuck me in my own way.
Fuck me in my own way
Fuck me in my own way
Fuck me in my own way
Fuck me in my own way...

You should make amends with you,
If only for better health (Better health)
But if you really want to live,
Why not try, and Make yourself?
Make yourself
Make yourself
Make yourself
Make yourself!
