This aint a new year its just a repeat yooo

New year many will sheeply exclaim
Whilst in the den of previous years
And through out this time
I have been gravitating towards realignment
And resight
For it maybe a ritual for some about the type of activities designated for the next cycle of seasons
And that it will be the foundation of the carryings of the proposed new year
For life is preached as for a thing for growth
But can growth and routine coincide

This may for some be drenched slightly in the rivers of pessimism
But I do not need empty gestures
And pretend changes
Like what good does it really do with people systemically uttering a phrase with no actions accompanying it

Shouldnt a new year be ushered in by a new year
You 2.0 at least
For it just made me think of investments
Like who have I invested in and who has and is currently investing in the brand which is me
Or the community

And investing people think
It is money mula or any other synonyms
But time and
Thought
Are some of the things which are better than a three word utterance

But but be the change you want you to see is one of those saying that have been rattling around
The consciousness

And you cannot go anywhere for awhile
Without being ambushed
By it
And you must reply it back
Whether you mean it or not
Just say it
New year grinch

Like people would rather wish than do some actual investment

In closing like I was thinking if new years was what I was made to believe
Then the world should really instantly be remarkably changed from all these resolutions
And professions of a new year

But when I see people playing chicken with cars from the pavement because they cant walk straight
I am brought back down to as why

So watch this space as I will do
For how does a new thing year or otherwise spit out old agendas and avenues

For to turn up for a bit
A lot of finger pointing about the state of human affairs
But what are they or you doibg differently
Still watching the same shows same amount of tv and still not investing in your society or coming up with solutions

For I stood on the periphery of society
And I was shown its face
About how the pub club or anywhere with a alcohol licence was mecca where people set out on a pilgrimage to
Dressing in the same attire from the same shops
Set out exactly as mannequins
Showed

And how can there ever be a new year if there is not even new people or actual individuals

Hopefully I can actually say new year one day
Until then unhappy same year

The knowledge or the uni fallacy



that is the purpose of youth for some 
but it is definately the purpose of uni

right
the old
but is everything exchanged knowledge
ponder that one

but carrying on knowledge
this intangible thing
where is it housed
and how can an intangible thing be housed
ponder that
oh the intangible has ties with the tangible
so if the tangible is horded you horde knowledge
well that is the theory

well 

henrich heine saw the attempt 

but as ray bradbury put it you do not have the burn books you have to get people to stop reading them 

and then all you have to do is propose when 
people should read them to have a monopoly 
on knowledge
alah university

some say plato created the first western university 
yes western

some say 
 this is the worlds oldest university
but rather than sweat the details of the worlds oldest we get to the concept uni as it is generally abbreviated
the place of knowledge
even if some of the people who work inside 
have never been or are even able to entertain stimulating conversation
ah university
where automatic intelligence is placed upon a person even if their 
extra curricular activities are anti intellectual

this list starts of with a course that you can study david beckham
here is another list though the joy of garbage is a very intriguing one
this one had one about being a jedi 

and then you have 
published this year about students being scared off of philosophy

so back to the main point about knowledge
what knowledge are people attaining from university at all
since you do all your own work

but concentrating on the fact that if you go to university
a place of learning 
should you not come back changed
so if you go to uni and come back the same person 
what did you learn 
what did you add to yourself

and it comes down to priorities
some people who have never been to uni and do not read yet want to call them selves elders
questioned me when i first started
why philosophy what job can you do with that

and naively then i was defending it
which was validating your views
the point of learning is not for monetary gain it is the betterment of yourself 
you can choose it for gain but that is what it should be 

for you see some people are physically talented but not mentally acute

for yes it is fictional 
this person went to uni did information technology
yet had no books in his house

for for some people as soon as uni is done it is like no more learning yep my learning phase is over

when in truth we never stop learning 

one of my philosophy class mates used to say the greeks would say i am the perfect man
because he works on his body as well as his mind
and that unification is missing 
especially with the mentality of just getting a job

a lot of people put people up as he is a genius 
or she is a genius
question is what is stopping you
for example instead of doing business management 
you did a degree in science or one of the social sciences

for what use is lopsided growth 
men who spend eons in a gym yet cannot string contingent sentences together 
or knowledgeable yet incredibly unhealthy

it comes down to perceptions again you choose
but you have to open your scope
university is not the be all and end all
nor is the lack of money
since knowledge is free
it is people who charge

there are free ebooks and there are libraries
and you can always be an autodidact 

and this ties in with the previous post of elders and this post of where does your course run

“A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.” Greek proverb

Balance



A word understood but yet overlooked
synonymous with equilibrium
it is preached but not always followed
for i fear balance is not always taught
for balance is like air it can be forgotten
and fade into the background
but once it is removed the importance is seen
when you picture balance
scales and see saws spring to mind
but its not just felt on the immediate material
which was seen with the obesity rise
and the then calls for balanced diets
but as i said balance can fade into the background
for sometimes the things that balance us do also
for what use is a ship without an anchor
i was reminded about the importance of balance whilst playing football on the weekend
the team i ended up on unfortunately
just comprised itself of attacking players
but what is attack without defence
i love the quote that we have two ears and yet one mouth

some people are balanced as some are not
some are prepared for anything
and others just go with the flow
though arguments against either can arise
but together they work perfectly
for the meticulous can be slow to act and over cautious
but the other to risky lackadaisical and rash
the bipedal
brains and brawn
for you cannot bulldoze everything
and you cannot wait everything out
which is shown great through teams
in football you need people to score you goals
but you need people to stop your team from conceding
and the balance makes a great team
for what use is a dull knife
balance is not always opposites or does not have to been see as such
but compliance
it reminds me of the graphic novel title
for the man who has everything
and what do you get them
for even those who seem to need no help
do need help
for there is no one that has everything
but there are people who do not need anything
you may know of someone who for you has unfathomable
amounts of skill or talent
and it could cause in you a sense of inadequacy
but it is not necessary
you may think what can you do
but sometimes it is about what you can not do
for every great team sports player who steals the limelight
there is a simple player who aides them
and sometimes it is as simple as bringing another viewpoint
example some people may favor one side of their body
right hand
right foot
etc
but remove the other and the drastic change is evident
you may not be able to draw or catch or rythm in time
but it is of considerable use
as an experiment
to try not using something
you rely not so heavily upon
like your left hand
your left foot
etc
and see how hard it is with the unbalance
