Somewhere between a wet noodle and ..

I think I have a fair amount of mental strength. Sometimes I feel like I'm Gulliver in the land of the Lilliputians.

Right now I feel physically and mentally well.

Good, I am working on reading other people's thoughts and moving objects with my mind. So far I have failed to reach that level, but otherwise I am mentally stable and content and I continue to learn.

Some days better than others.

Attitude and mental health have a proportional connection. "I'm just living and learning” is my favorite reply when asked "what's up?". That is my two main goals in life - to live my life knowing this is my only chance to live and breathe and to learn about everything that surrounds me in this existence. This motto of mine, which I got from my father, has turned me into an autodidact (a self taught person) that understands a lot about this reality we exist in.

Warning!!! - Knowledge will separate you out from the crowd of ignorance. Knowledge is isolating when it is not a shared commonality. So my tendency is to spread the knowledge but it's like your speaking a different language and can't communicate. People naturally tend to reject change because it requires effort and physics tells us that objects at rest tend to stay at rest.

When you learn something you change. To resist change is to resist learning and to reject knowledge. The religious adamantly resist change and therefore all knowledge that causes change. Religions are based on a static books that can't change and they worship the dead because the dead can't change either - it is all very convenient for those who resist all change and they can lounge around in their ignorant bliss, never learning anything, until they die. To me, if you are as static and as unchanging as a book in your thinking, you are already dead. Being "static" or being "dead" is to be in the same state as one describes the other.

Being knowledgeable also has its downsides but gee, it beats being brain hacked into a static state like I once was by religion! And unfortunately my knowledge separates me from the conversation of the majority of people around me who seem to thrive mostly on entertainment and sports, religious rhetoric, political propaganda and games and jokes. I like to relax and enjoy a conversation about the trivial too, every once in a while, but I don't like the trivial to dominate conversations because it starts to become a meaningless engagement where nothing useful is exchanged. This is why you see the nutty professor types working in isolation - who the f@#k are they going to talk to that will relate? lol. I love to talk to children because I can share the knowledge with them. They are not filled with trivia and are curious and ready to learn. Children also have questions that the adults should be asking but are not because trivia and religion occupies and consumes them. I have mental strength and power like I have never had before and tomorrow I will have more because today I will learn something I didn't know.
