Alex gets peaceful

By Alex McMahon

Entropy. A mysterious word that conjures images of collapsing civilizations, a decaying universe and essay questions on physics tests. Itis no longer a word. It is now a way of life.

The Liberator brings you: Alex "Would be Zen" McMahon, and his Twenty Points Outlining Entropism (part 1, the first ten!)

1. The cost of abandoning logic is eternal benevolence. Be excellent to each other. If everyone was good, government would fall apart in no time.

2. Harmony is a myth. It is unnatural for things to be held in an orderly pattern. Peace can only be achieved through virtue, not blind mediocrity.

3. Excel at something to make yourself or others happy. Excel at something to better society. Never try to be excellent just for the sake of excellence. People who habitually try hard do so because they feel a need to set themselves above others. Feel pity for them – they'll never be content.

4. Perfection is unobtainable and undesirable. It simply does not exist in this universe. Those who attempt to attain it shall forever be unhappy and discontent, not to mention excruciatingly annoying.

5. Happiness, while preferable, is not mandatory. You are not obliged to smile if you don't feet like it. People who pester you to "look pleasant" are obviously insecure themselves.

6. As long as you're not hurting anyone, do what you want when you want. Those who set social standards do so because they feel they are superior to others.

7. Don't offend easily. People make callous remarks out of carelessness, and we're all careless sometimes. Oversensitive people can be just as annoying as passionless people.

8. Humility is the base of all virtue.

9. Greed is the root of all evil.

10. No one person is better than another person. EVER. It doesn't matter how smart, talented, or funny someone is. Every human life is equal to every other human life, PERIOD. Anyone who says otherwise is an asshole.

10B. No, Nazis are NOT human.
