The "whatever" theory...

[7 Syns]

que?

How much simpler is life when you shrug off insecurities & insignificant things? When instead of stressing about something you wipe the dust off ya kicks, chest up and whatever it? I dunno when I was younger I guess I used to stress a bit too much for example when in school "oh shit gotta finish this assignment by this date". When in work "oh shit gotta make sure this is completed by this date". When life in general "oh shit gotta do this by this date".

I dunno guess in the last few years especially, my approach to everything is "meh whatever, is what it is" and everything seems to be alot smoother and easier in the process. From day to day strivin' & survivin' right down to choosing something for whatever occasion/circumstance it maybe involve. There's nothing wrong with picking the apple off the tree but it'll eventually fall when the time is right.

Too much stress leads to cardiac arrest, it's not really a care-free attitude cause emotion is important but I call it the whatever theory. In a world thats so fast paced and everything has to be "right" I suggest some people try this whatever approach and see how much weight gets lifted off their shoulders. Unless they are already laid back then it's pretty much irrelevant.

You are being simplificative though.

Stress is caused by expectations. The manner in which you respond to these expectations depends on what you hold dearly. What you hold dearly is a mixture of reasoning after having had experiences, and coincidences. It is right to say that everyone is in full control of themselves. At the same time, it's equally correct to say that you don't have control over anything in your life. From how a nucleon is gonna behave to what a random person is gonna tell you to what genes you were born with, you are a product of coincidences. There are so many things that could have gone different. There are so many choices one could have made different. Your life could have been so much different. I don't believe in dwelling too much in the past. My point is that if someone is stressed, the cause of that stress is not just an apple you can pick right off the tree and throw in the basket.

You don't care about things because you have found an inner peace. Watch something you didn't even know meant something to you flip on you in a way you didn't take precautions against or even expect, and sit here and tell me you're just gonna think "meh, it'll be alright". If you insist you would, I don't think you've been pushed far enough yet.

Otherwise, a positive thread if nothing else. It just slapped me in the face a little.

heres a thought..

i dont think u can live life care free after you turn 13 (or around that age) because you have more responsibilities as you grow older..life is much more easier when you wore socks that didnt match and girls had coodies

Yeah so I had a long post typed out and my firefox decided to randomly close itself like it always does. Piece of shit.

Anyway, i'm just gonna keep it short and sweet now.

I live my life with that same type of "whatever" type attitude and it works fine for me. At the same time though, i'm not just completely care free. I'm a very responsible and dependable type person. I'm a laid back and quiet (usually) type of guy. I don't get angry very easily at all. I don't like to fight verbally or physically. I'm just too relaxed for that. I don't worry much about things. Why? I don't know, it's just how I am. But at the same time.. like I said, i'm not care less either. I know what I have to do and what I want to do and I get it done. I think ahead a very lot when it comes to certain things and I also make smart decisions.

Fortunately, stress just isn't a part of my life. I'm not gonna lie and say that I don't get annoyed or frustrated at work or even out of work. Cause I do. Not often, but it does happen. It just never gets to the level of stress or where I begin to think about it too much. I'm not some genius when it comes to being book smart, but i'm a smart dude in general with stuff like this.

sometimes I do the similar thing. I'm just like "whatever" but it's not that I don't care, it's just a mind state I put myself in. I do everything like I would do anyway, I just don't stress myself that much.

I would like to live like that but i can't. I would also like to stop smoking cigarettes and learn to accept the things that i can't change. I dwell on things way too much and I drive myself insane constantly. And if stress leads to cardiac arrest, I'm in trouble.

Meh, I dont believe this theory at all. When I used to be on drugs all the time my attitude towards everything, and I mean everything, was fuck it I'll deal with it later or fuck it, whatever. Living like that led me to neglect a ton of things I wish I hadn't. Now that I'm sober I actually care about shit other than getting high, sure it causes stress but you gotta learn to deal with it. I think that most people who are content to sit back and just say "whatever" are too lazy to deal with their problems.

There's a big difference my man. Being on drugs and having a "whatever" attitude is alot different than being sober with a "whatever" attitude. Hopefully you see what I mean. Like I said, I have that type of cool, calm and collective attitude, but i'm as careful, responsible and determined as they come. When I need to get shit done, I get it done. I'm just not the type of person that constantly worries about stuff. And shit doesn't bother me.
