Supposing if you are unfortunate enough to look at the world through my eyes, the majority of it and its inhabitants is completely irrelevant. Poverty, war, famine, climate change, presidents, countries, religion, politics, people...... mean nothing to mii. I'm not saying I'm heartless, its just in my perception there is only significance in the things and people I know and care about, everything else is beyond my control and practically its meaningless and wasteful trying to do anything that's beyond helping or saving. To put it simply; the world according to mii is small, and preferably simple even though I am anything but simple.
Anything and everything that is insignificant or outside the "bubble" as it were matters not to mii. If I were in a position I.e. the American President where my actions could effect the world then obliviously mores things will become significant. But even if that fantasy were a possibility, I would still be one person, one being in the wake of an overwhelming matter that cannot be solved as long as life as we know it continues to exist. For those who are going to vote in the UK 2015 General Election; do you really believe a new Government or any Government or leader for that matter will conquer the problems such as NHS spending/funding, obesity, employment and so on?
No really, ask yourself would it make the difference we as UK residents wish for?! Will all zero (0) hour contracts disappear and be replaced by a "fairer(?)" compromise through the will of a Government, even though it was people in Government beforehand that put the "terrible" practise in effect in the first place?! Will takeaway restaurants and convenience stores near schools disappear as a means to stop the growth of obesity?! Will HS2 be finally made or not?! Will the Police and services that are supposed to prevent the next "Baby P" child abuse/death, be able to be as effective in the community as budgets are undermined?!All I'm saying is that I wouldn't hold my breath, because for all the talk and so-called politics, all that is going to happen and will indefinitely be the case is problems that no one can dispose of entirely. Ask yourself; has racism, sexism, piracy, child abuse, mistreatment and so on, been eradicated following the actions and examples of heroes like Martin Luther King Jr.? The answer is 'no', in 2015 these problems still exist despite the advances that have been made in an attempt to conquer the said problems. The fact is the countless issues/problems the world faces aren't going away and we as people can only make contributions whether it be for the better or worst (although if you refer to the opinion of the NRA on gun violence caused by video games, then that's definitely a contribution for the worst for it misleads and complicates a problem with gun violence that existed before these idiots were even born!).
I can't help but wonder if "The Lord Almighty" would be able to conquer the problems in the world. Personally I think he/she/it took a look at the world he/she/it let evolve into the state it is in now and then blew his/hers/its brains out with a .45 Winchester magnum due to the feeling of being powerless to rectify the countless problems and so-called "truths" that really are as fictional as a living breathing bed who talks like Arnold Schwarzenegger which sets rabbits and deer on fire every time its a Wednesday and there's a 5 in the time. I'm not saying this to anger religious people, or because I got irritated by the marching band in Weymouth carrying the crucifix getting in my way on Easter Friday 2015. I have the perception that at lot of the world's problems are beyond helping or saving, hence why such insignificances aren't any of my concern. Ignorance is bliss, or so they say.
By my account the world which is significant to me is only as wide and far as I dare travel; for the most part its merely the size of Weymouth and Portland and that's because that's all I really inhibit on a daily/weekly basis. Virtually I venture further for information and notifications regarding my hobbies and my friends, but still not to the extent where I want to be the centre of everyone's attention (that's the absolute WORST as I cannot stand crowds of people). Is this perception caused by my "mental difference", or would it be any different if I were "normal"? I don't know, all I do know is there's no such thing as "normal" because it is such an indescribable definition which yields no meaning or value in reality. The point I'm trying to get across (and if I'm failing miserably in doing so then I apologise for wasting your time) is that through my eyes the world is what it is and I don't see how my perception would matter (or be offensive) to others because everyone will have their own perception whether its build on religious belief, experiences, mentality, gender, tastes, understandings etc.
If I were to offer my perception of WrestleMania 31 for example and say in overall it scores 6.5 out of 10; decent but spoiled by unwanted music performances, too long promos, questionable decisions in matches and cut out matches, then that's my perception. If you were to look through my eyes and consider my interpretation, one could either agree or disagree with my perception and that's fine because different things matter to other people.
I might disagree with the BBC's decision of firing Jeremy Clarkson but then that's due to my interest in Top Gear which is, or should I say was significant to mii. My perception will differ because what's significant and insignificant to mii will differ from another's.
What happens next for Top Gear, games of which I am a fan of, events in my life, hobbies, with my friends and family and so on is beyond my control but still significant to mii whereas if Israel were to bomb Pakistan, or a man wearing a Pepsi Max costume gets shot dead by SpongeBob Square pants because the fire hydrants in Washington D.C. are painted differently then those in New Jersey, won't matter because its insignificant (though it would be f***ing weird if that were to happen). I can certainly offer my opinion like I did earlier in this post about politics but I won't get invested in things that are utterly beyond saving or meaningless (in other words insignificant to mii), because its not in my control and is insignificant like a lot of the world is in my perception, and would obscure mii from what is significant.
Some can call me ignorant, heartless and perhaps every foul word and name under the sun for going about life through the perception I have (which is not faultless I'll admit), but having been mii for twenty-five (25) years; I have grown accustomed and comfortable with who I am and my perception and understanding. I might be naïve or short-sighted in the face of countless problems, but then by deciding what's significant and insignificant; I can simplify things from my end and put better empathises on what is significant like the relationships I have with the people I associate with (i.e. friends and family).
Okay, this concludes this post on the SJBMCPRS Report; I will cover more in due time whether it be about my perception of a game or an event that has transpired. Until then, please remember that this blog is not to be taken TOO seriously (otherwise there would actually be a dead man in a Pepsi Max costume killed by SpongeBob, and a so-called "God" lying dead after committing suicide (not good!)). Until next time, see ya!
