Something New

        Author's Note: Like the title says, this post is different from my past posts. If you read my blog for sarcastic insults to various parts of society, then feel free to skip this post.

      As devout followers of Jarrod-ism, you probably know by know that money and individual initiative are what make the world go 'round. However, money and individual initiative cannot hold the world up. If everyone only operated with incentives of money and personal gain, the world would dissolve into a chaotic vortex of individuals that only serve their own interests. A world such as that would not be beneficial to anyone; Individuals at the bottom would be crushed and oppressed while people at the top would be constantly afraid of backstabbing competition. Differently from making the world go 'round, the spirit of being considerate of others and otherwise trustworthy is what holds the world up.
        So for today's lesson, I would like to point out the difference between being considerate and being an opportunist. The opportunist is the attention whore. He is kind to others solely for the approval of everyone else. The opportunist is just as bad as the enemies of Jarrod-ism (socialists) who live for the collective rather than themselves. On the other hand, true followers of Jarrod-ism are able to commit random acts of kindness solely for the sake of doing them. Because a Jarrod-ist is doing something nice and considerate solely because he wants to help is in line with spirit of living for yourself. In short, it is not empty sucking-up kindness that holds the world up; Rather it is the acts of generosity that are done in private that reaffirm my belief that humans are not completely horrible.
         Reach out, spread the word. If you see someone who looks lonely and sad, just smile at them or wave. Let them know that there's someone out there who cares. It's not that hard. It's a wonder that not many people do it.

         Your Jarrod-ism for today - "A little consideration, a little thought for others, makes all the difference"

Memorize It
Believe It
Live It
Spread It

          Peace out,
             J-rod

P.S. - Posts without sarcasm will be quite rare, read 'em while you can!
