Dealing with Peculiarity

~ Gottfried

It all starts when your parents name you “Peculiar”. I met a guy named Peculiar once, and I totally empathize with his parents. They were spot on with the name. No other name could have done justice. Any time Peculiar walked into a room, without turning to see him, you’d know he was there.

It is peculiar what you remember when you’re not trying. Luck has a peculiar habit of favoring those who don’t depend on it. Ones life is peculiar to one’s own when one has invented it. It is peculiar quality of a hypocrite to perceive the faults of others and to forget his own.

If someone wrote it and it had a peculiar twist, I’ve read it. People say of me ‘He’s peculiar.’ They do not understand me. If they did they would say so oftener and with emphasis. You’re reading this doing your best to find out where I’m going with this. Stop trying, embrace my weirdness.

I’ve got a very peculiar sort of fame, based on being President of Banter Republic. It doesn’t have the lifestyle people expect. My life is painfully boring. The kind you want to pull your hair out every five minutes. But contrary to widely held beliefs, I have come to discover that boring is good.

Every man is said to have his peculiar ambition. The keyword there is “Man” seeing as women have no ambition. For most, their goal is to be wife to an ambitious man. Whilst this might sound oddly romantic in their heads, it’s a horror show in reality. Dear woman, go get yourself some ambition. It’s cheap.

By and large, women have a faith and morality peculiar to themselves; they believe in the reality of everything that serves their interests and their passions. Sometimes they push you away when they need you the most. Don’t be mad when they call you weird. Being called weird is like being called a limited edition.

You’re basically a unicorn 🦄

  1. SMiLes Mr Gottfried,

    “Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

          3. “Light the fires 🔥”

            SMiLes Mr. Gottfried the
            Peculiar Pirate of the Human
            Species is Surely Doing Their
            Best Already to Set the Nature

            of Who We all Are on Fire

            Soul of Nature is Balance
            Reality Of Nature is Change

            If We Don’t Exercise Balance in
            The Importance of Human Capital
            More Than the Tools We Create And the

            Rest of the Usually Naked Enough Whole Complete
            Parts of Nature in Delicate Balance That Even Makes

            Breathing Possible
            For Us As Human
            Beings Relying

            on Trees Well After
            Shark Species Born of
            Oceans Nearly Half A Billion Years Ago

            (Happy Discovery Channel Shark Week OBTW)

            True Oxygen Required For the Iron in Our Real
            Blood Streams To Pick Up Born of Super Nova
            Star Death Crucible Fire Explosions Resurrecting

            From Gaseous Star Dust Yes Iron FLoWinG in Our Blood Streams
            And at Core of Our Only Mother Earth We Are Adapted to As Well

            To Actually Both Survive and Thrive in the Living Green And Flowers
            That Color Our World With Life Blooms And The Beauty That Drives us to

            Actually Thrive
            With SMiLes Yes

            We’ve Set the World on Fire
            Bleaching the Great Coral Reefs
            Dead of the Florida Keys with Caribbean
            Temps Close to 100 Degrees F While Threatening
            The Process that Warms the Gulf Stream to Prevent
            Europe From Being Covered By New Icy Sheaths of

            Nature’s Change in Response of ‘Modernity’

            From Human Ignorant Efforts to Harm Rape
            Maim and Kill the Balance of Nature At Hand

            Yet that Only Results in the Reality of Change
            The Reality of Nature Indeed the Karma Real

            of Actions And Consequences Always Next

            For Indeed We Shall Reap What We Sow

            Like the Rest of the Seed of Existence Still Dying And GRoWinG With SMiles…

            Captain Hooks Fade Away Yet Nature Shall Have the First/Last Seed/Flower

          5. “We’re no higher animals”

            Indeed Wise Words Dear Mr Gottfried
            The Domination of the Rest of Nature

            Is Largely A CuLTuRaLLY Derived Tribal Religion
            in SCaRCiTiES Yes Ideologies Based On

            Dominion of What is Viewed
            As Inferior to the ‘Tribe And
            Or Religion at Hand’ in

            Once Again Desert,
            Snowy, And Other

            Areas of SCaRCiTiES

            Where Humans Fight
            For Limited Resources
            Never Feeling Like They
            Are Abundant Naked Enough
            Whole Complete Integral Yet
            No More Important Than All the
            Rest of the Parts of the All in All of All ThaT iS

            Nature For What We Might Respect With A Term Like God

            Acknowledging We Humans Are Very Limited in What We
            See of Reality Versus The Animals Whose Views May Be Far

            More Expanded Than Ours And of Course As Common Sense
            And Science Shows Yes They Do Have Many Abilities that Humans

            Can’t Even
            Dream of
            Having Now

            As True We Can’t
            See With Souls They Breathe
            Or Even The Smallest of Sub-Particles

            That Combine in Quantum Ways Same and Different True

            Its Not Too Surprising to me that Those Who Marginalize
            Folks Who Are Different the Most And Those Who Are Racist

            Trying to Create An Illusion of Superiority Based on Geographically
            Evolving Different Traits For Survival Yes Like Melanin of Skin as Such

            Also Engage in the Insidious Behavior That is ‘Speciesism’ in An Attempt

            To Justify The Domination and Slavery of the Rest of Nature as Beneficial

            To the Entire World of Existence While The Frigging World is Catching

            On Fire Perhaps RiSinG One Day to ‘Oceans That Boil Away’ The

            Rest of the

            LoWest Species

            of Animal oF All

            The Animal Who

            Does Not Understand

            That Balance Means Survival

            That This is an All Hands Effort

            Far Beyond Human Hands Alone

            Any Date i Want Reality i Just Turn

            ‘The Human TV’ off and Look to The Reality

            Of Eden in my Backyard God Yes Same Heaven
            As always Changing Becoming More Beautiful
            Even in the Hottest July Ever Recorded in History Nature

            Will adapt

            And Continue

            To Survive and
            Thrive With or Without
            The Ignorance of the Species With ‘No Eyes’
            Obviously The Species Blind to the Nature of

            Existence…

            Balance
            And Change
            Change And

            Balance Karma For Real…

            We Shall Continue to Reap What We Sow

            Money And Things We Cannot Eat As We
            Are Only Seeds and Flowers Blooming or
            Withering
            Away

            to
            No
            Thing
            @ALL..:)
