Help me! I need a seminar!
By now, most of you are aware that I like to complain, it’s kind of a motif for me. Of course, this weird culture we live in gives us no shortage of things to complain about. So this next topic, like most good ideas, is fairly simple. It’s just a list of people who ought to be killed.
Starting with these people who read self help books. Why do so many people need help? Life is not that complicated. You get up, you go to work, you eat three meals, you take one good crap, and you back to bed. What’s the bloody mystery? And the part I really don’t understand, if you’re looking for self help, why would you look for a book written by somebody else? That’s not self help… that’s help! There’s no such thing as self help. If you did it yourself, you didn’t need help. You did it yourself! Try to pay attention to the language we’ve all agreed on.
And a similar mystery to me: motivation books, and motivational seminars. Why would anyone need to be motivated by someone else? I say if you lack motivation, a seminar isn’t going to help you. What you really need is to be smashed in the head 30 or 40 times with a golf club. That’ll bloody well motivate you. Or at least it will get you up and moving around the room... You know, locate your socks, crap like that… get the day rolling. Motivation is bullshit. If you ask me North America could use a little less motivation. The people who are motivated are the ones causing all the trouble: stock swindlers, serial killers, child molesters, Christian conservatives! These people are highly motivated.
Anyways, I think motivation is overrated. You show me some lazy prick who’s lying around all day watching game shows and stroking his penis, and I’ll show you a guy who’s not causing any fricking trouble. OK?
ps. Once again, I must thank the Mighty George for twisting my brain at such a young age...
