It’s official.

And the winning comment I saw was:

This concludes an episode of “WELL FUCKING DUH!” theater.

Tune in next week for the next episode: “Guess what color the sky is!”

Jokes aside, instead of using terms from the article like dark-triad and such, I would like to use “risk-takers” to describe these “bad boys.” Because good and bad is all just relative.

The meek will inherit the Earth eh? Sorry to say, as comforting as the beatitudes sound, living by them in modern times will literally result in you having a boring, uneventful life of ignorance. Meanwhile, the risk-takers are drinking your milkshake! So who exactly does the inheriting here? ;)

Face it, risk-takers experience a fuller life compared to the conservatives. They former may have a lot of hits and misses, but if you would compare their lives as a whole, I’m willing to bet my right eye that the when looking back, the latter will always have regrets while the former would feel… complete.

I really think the reason people are conservative isn’t really because they’re genuinely “morally upright,”¹ but because they are conditioned to fear that which they perceive to be “bad.” That’s why they end up being repressed in the long run. They may be content with how their lives turned out to be, but I have two words and a phrase for that:

1. Synthesized happiness
2. Ignorance is bliss

I don’t know about you guys, but I think actually living life would be a better goal to strive for - rather than trying to please everyone by fitting into a socio-cultural (and even religious) “mold.”
