The Joy of Freestyle Rap/Poems

Effective Opinions
Best to have an opinion about something you can actually effect and control.
For example —
Super Saiyan is the Goal
The goal ain’t to become some nerdy combination with a machine or mech. The goal isn’t to buy some high-powered sports car (Lambo) with a v8, v10, or v12 engine. And it also even ain’t buying a Tesla P100D.
The goal:
Transform yourself into a “super saiyan”.
Mental Distancing
Social distancing to prevent diseases. Mental distancing to prevent (mental) diseases from other infected folks.
Emotions are Good
Your emotions are like your dragon. You want to transform your dragon into your pet and slave, and do your own bidding for you!
Mental Health and Mental Hygiene
No mental health, no life.
Why Walking is Good for the Soul #philosophy
“The best thoughts come to you while walking!” – Nietzsche (or the other version — trust no thought that isn’t given birth while you are walking).
Great Soul or Petty Soul?
You choose.
The Whole World is Your Playground and Gym!
A playful approach to life:
The Philosophy of Fresh Air
The best life– the life with the maximal amount of fresh air!
Action and Reaction, Cause and Effect
I prefer thinking a more physics-based approach to life. Don’t think about “fate” and stuff like that, but think:
How will my actions manifest in reality?
Think Beyond
Don’t think about this life time, or your own life. Think about humanity 300 years from now and beyond.
In Praise of Rap Music Videos
“Without Music, Life Would be a Mistake” – Nietzsche
For example, the JAY ROCK “WIN” music video by Dave Meyers and Dave Free.
Conquer Your Anger
Transform your anger into your slave.
The Antidote to Nihilism: The Philosophy of Nothingness
The secret: age in reverse. Or in other words, by the time I am age 42 (10 years from now), I want to become my 12-year old self!
Interact With Others as Children Do!
WHEN INTERACTING WITH OTHERS, TREAT IT LIKE PLAY!
Don’t Fuck with Others; Don’t Let Others Fuck with You.
Ethical thought:
First, do no harm unto others. Then, refuse to let others do harm unto you.
