Metal / punk versus metal
« on: May 21, 2011, 10:22:29 PM »The major difference between punk and similar type of music versus metal, especially death and black, is
the way they perceive the way human interact or must interact with the universe around them.
Both can be perceive as protest or affirmative music but not for the similar reason.
What is important to the punks is the world of the ego. For exemple, when they want freedom, it's because
they don't like the displeasure of not being free. They want to seek pleasure, both physically and mentally.
They want freedom because it's hard to work and they said that they don't deserve it. But it's more a question
where their ego can't stand not being at the top. They only want to serve themselve. They are like children that
don't want to go to bed because they say it's unfair. It's the reason they habitually are agaisnt religons as well.
They don't want to follow anything bigger than theirselve.
What important in metal is not the selfish ego. It's following the will of the universe. If we are free, it's not because
we want it too, but because we have to. The "gods" put humans free to put them in a context in wich they must struggle
to become stronger, more noble. I will even dare to say that they want us to be gods too. But it's a hard way and one
must forget about it's tiny self to only hope to acheive it. When Euronymous said that people to be a slave of Satan,
we can interpret it that it's not our personnal goals but a much gradeur purpose that we must serve. I maybe see more
in that sentence than what's being said, but it's closer to the metal philosophy than the "I wanna be free because I deserve
it" mentality.
In metal, you get what you deserve.
In punk or rock, you get what you want, even if that mean the end of the world.
The protest in metal is against the society who don't follow univeral laws.
The protest in punk is against the society who don't allow the people to to wathever they want.
Sure, the reality isn't that simple as that but you get the picture. If we compare groups like The Ramones and Dischage. It's easy
to get which of the too came first and wich of the two is closer to the metal mentality.

Personnally, I find it saddening although i'm not surprised. It shows that we can't control our pusions anymore if we can't wait barely wait t'ill the end of the day to release them. We're becoming more and more like animals.
What's your thoughts about this. Do you find this acceptable?

Chasm / Mark Boyle, the man who tries to live without money
« on: June 28, 2010, 06:42:03 PM »I recently found an article about a man who made the decision of living without money. What's your thoughts about his project?
A quote of him:
''What have I learned? That friendship, not money, is real security. That most western poverty is of the spiritual kind. That independence is really interdependence. And that if you don't own a plasma screen TV, people think you're an extremist.''

Chasm / Useless talking
« on: December 22, 2009, 12:49:50 AM »
these days, everyone has an opinion on everything and he has to say it to every person he encounters. It's been a lot worse since the internet, especially sites like twitter. The fact is that it's just useless talking much of the time. Personnaly, if I don't have a good think to say or if I have no opinion on a subject, I say nothing. But there's a lot of people when they are in the same situation have to say something. A fact is that some people tend to thinks that they are important and all what they say is, but it's not the case. These people misunderstand what a real opinion is in opposition to a feeling. An opinion must be thought before saying it, but a feeling is what you just thing at the second. They misuse them because they don't really want to informe you, they only want to gain attention, prove that they are important.
Another fact is , with this over-awerenessed society, when someone want your opinion on a social issue, you always got to have an opinion because if we have none, they will say that you are a careless monster who just think about himself. It's like they do not realize that you can't have an opinion on everything because you lack the knowledge to make a coherent answer. You just can't make a good opinion if the sole imformations available are in a small article in a newspaper. It can takes years of studying on a subject before you got the right answer. All that these people want, is to let talk only our heart, our emotions because they want followers, people who can confort them in their feelings, not ones who can have real answers, even if they're unpleasants
people tend to be intimidated, when no one speaks. Why do we have that need to always speak if we have nothing so say? that's not just enought to be together? They will say it's useless. But saying stupid things is much more useless. Better to be alone. But being alone is being unimportant to they others. Their ego can't stand it. .....worship meeeeee...... they said in fear of the nothing.
In conclusion, let's stop that stupid useless talking.
