Random Rant About Perspective on Life, Religion, and the Ruling Class

I live the life that somewhere between 80-95% of the human population would be envious, or even jealous of.  There are hundreds of millions of us in that range and that class of life.  However many of us are unhappy, some are suicidal and severely depressed, have severe anxiety and social issues.  Life is all about perspective and frame of mind.  I notice that one way for me to have a positive perspective, I must think of the several BILLION people who have it worse off than me, and would kill someone to have the opportunity to be in my shoes, live my life, and have the opportunities presented to them everyday that I have presented to me.  This is unfortunate and somewhat tragic when I think about it, but then again I am choosing (or perhaps just naturally, morally feel this way) to look at it from that point of view, which seems to be looking at something negative in order to make my situation seem like a positive.

However the way I see life, of any species, is that everyone really should just be selfish, enjoy life the best they can at the cost of whatever and whomever else's benefits, if that's what it takes.  If someone has to suffer in order for me to experience happiness and bliss, and I am able to make that happen without resulting in any negative consequences towards me, I should do whatever I can to make it happen.  And everyone else should live their lives in this way as well.  I think that is how the Elite on our planet operate.  They do not believe in God or consequences resulting from actions/decisions/behavior that most of the world would consider incredibly immoral and unacceptable.  But they know more about history and the planet and the universe than we do, because they have the endless amounts of money to acquire this information.  I'm sure they have been able to visit all the ancient caves and see the cave drawings and ancient writings and stories from civilizations that reigned and flourished thousands of years ago, and put all the pieces together to see where we come from and disprove all mainstream religions.  The elite, throughout history, have been the ones to create these religions and push them on the public or private sector, in every civilization going back to the Mayans.

 These ideas and religious stories and cultures were created from the minds of the rulers of the world to control the population.  And they've been successful, however the internet has exposed a large percentage of the world to these facts and that they are being used as slaves and lied to about so many things that dramatically affect their lives.   

My Feelings Towards the New York Giants 2014 Regular Season Performance Thus Far

(Taken from a facebook discussion with New York sportswriter/author Russ Cohen)

I've already given up on the Giants and am focusing on the Rangers but I guess people still care? Both NY football teams are unwatchable and uninteresting to me, personally. I hate to see Eli have bad performances and take all the heat, it just adds unneeded stress to my life and it's hockey season so I will stay focused on the NHL. I'll check the Giants out, making sure they don't win out the rest of the season and go on a run like they almost did last year, but I am not (as) emotionally invested in them.

 Obviously I am emotionally invested in the NY Giants because I'm stressing over them having bad performances (not really losing the games) and knowing the rest of the NFL fans are taking pleasure in our dismal display on the field week after week this season, and the first half of last season. I enjoy watching the terrible Jets than the average/below average Giants. I want them to do good, but if they are this bad, I have to remove it from my life as much as I can or it will be detrimental to my daily mental health.
