After a great venting of frustrations yesterday (and the past week really) I have done some thinking about my present and my future and I have found great solace in the prospect of enlisting into the military. I honestly can't think of another place that will pay me to be the best and the brightest but there are so many more bonuses to it! I will have a brotherhood/fraternity of peers who are also the best and the brightest, that's certainly not something I've ever been able to claim to have. Even just the fellowship of high school brings much nostalgia to me and so to be able to reclaim something akin and better to that I am very excited. Of course, I'm certain that what I'm thinking about my role in the military now is nothing like how it will turn out to be I am still promised hard work and challenges that will shape me into a person greater than I can on my own. And going in I will have many distinct advantages over the younger recruits. I have studied philosophy to its logical conclusion and so I don't fear death (merely the pains of death). I have suffered more than anyone who knows me can possibly imagine, and for nothing. But all the suffering I shall endure through military duty will have PURPOSE to it. And not just one purpose but many. Fighting to save my brothers and sisters, fighting to bring peace to this Earth, and fighting to forestall and possibly triage the inevitable collapse of civilization into a better age of life for all. Not to mention that this is the only best option I have right now to avoid eviction and absolute bankruptcy. But anyone who knows me knows that I read deeply into the implications and meanings of the things I do and the things that are happening around me. I can say that the prospects of making myself a much stronger and disciplined person, to protect those that I can from the devastations of human greed and war, to align myself with the best and the brightest, and to strategically place myself for fear that our fragile society will enter a time of chaos and anarchy are all definite reasons to enlist into the military. I have suffered much (more mentally than physically but both very much) and I'm now at a time in my life where I finally have a solid base for which to brace myself against the madness of the world. But that still isn't enough, I need a wall to put my back to and PEOPLE I CAN TRUST AND COUNT ON is just a huge bonus. The US will be my wall and the military will supply me as it can with the tools to be the best that I can on the front lines defending it, and myself, from the madness which is all around us, always. And if I die, well then I die for a cause greater than myself which I can believe in. For I might not agree with your politics, your stupid ideas, or your decisions but I still believe that so long as we try to make things better in the best way that we can we will all succeed at this life thing. That is what the military stands for for me. The defense of the right of stupid people to be stupid so long as they are trying to make things better. Yes, I'm willing to die for that.
