Ziggler as World Heavyweight Champion

I wasn't too surprised with the results of Wrestlemania 29; I wasn't surprised with how impressive the Raw after 'Mania was. What I do need to speak about is Dolph Ziggler winning the big one again. Despite the fact that he won the big won two years ago, most people act like this is his first world title win. It is however, his longest yet spanning a total of 10 days. In that span of time Ziggler was able to win the adoration of internet fanboys, whom typically fantasize indy talents most of the time. Ziggler and his typical opponent Kofi Kingston oftentimes get smart-mark love for their in-ring ability in a promotion that leaves little avenue to truly show your full potential.

Make no mistake, there are times where I love Ziggler. The fact that he's out of Mid-card purgatory is good news for me. The problem is that Ziggler still isn't being booked like a beast. The WWE is no longer in a talent deficit. Their main event pool is looking livelier than ever, they just have to flesh out a plan. Something they haven't been able to do with finesse for a very long time. People are getting injured, plans keep changing, things keep coming up. Someone needs to make up their mind on how these stories play out.

The daily schedule of wrestling with all its house shows, Raw, Smackdown, Main Event, Superstars, and monthly ppv's can be taxing. The WWE truly does operate on a soap opera schedule. Thankfully I'm a fan of wrestling and Soap Operas, so I understand that's no excuse for not thinking ahead of time. All I see are excuses. If there's a problem, fix it. Find better writers somewhere in your field. For the record, I don't recommend the guys in WWE magazine. They suck.

In Regards To God

In terms of writing anything philosophical, avoiding wordplay and semantics plays a huge role. Writing outside the standard cultural/political narrative will always be defeated. There's some advantage to that expendability, for starters it means all the mistakes and sins of the past will be cleansed. The cleaning process, however can be awkward.

An occult writer who's name I forgot said that defining God is meaningless and that we should focus more on understanding ourselves. Despite the dishonesty in tackling the thesis of a man whom I can never confront, I'll still take on an antagonizing position. It is important to define God, because it helps give meaning to man. This is a layered truth, but it opens up questions that Western Civilization no longer ponders.

1. God is divine: All hierarchies must put god on top, at the very least the person who's position is closest to that divinity. The less divine, the more profane. Just like less cold something becomes, the hotter it becomes. Most people that hold on to this position fail to articulate past this point, so I'll further explain.

Profanity is best identified by people that mostly act upon impulse for short term benefit, rather than thinking about right and wrong, furthermore their collective. It's clear that profanity isn't an absolute evil, but rather something to be habitually avoided. It is id dominated thought manifesting itself socio-politically. Divinity is all about caring for more than just your individual desires. It's not an act of submissive altruism, but rather noble kindness.

In a civilization with profane religions such as Marxism, Liberalism, and Objectivism it's clear that  virtue is profane, and consumeristic. All their attempts to liberate man turn him into an object at their logical conclusions.

2. God is a cosmic force: This one is more of an abstract statement, but God is a cosmic force. Just like the notion of fate vs free will the concept of God ventures into the unknown. One cannot hate the unknown without hating God, similarly one cannot embrace the unknown without embracing God. This is why the typical atheist is a tragic character. Whenever unfortunate circumstances reach him, he wonders how fate has brought him into this predicament, he questions how things could lead up to this, or in resenting how his choices brought him into this predicament; He condemns these cosmic forces beyond his power.

Life is misery. You didn't consent to birth, yet death will always be past your control. there's no avoiding or denying these truths. The first statement was part of the four noble truths for Pete's sake. Wasn't it Oswald Spengler who said that "Optimism is cowardice"? The good news is that it doesn't always have to be about you, or your misery. For me I just accept this and look for other people that can relate. Thankfully, you'll find them everywhere.

While I'm still an Atheist, I understand the importance of Christianity to Western Civilization. While I'm Hispanic, I still understand the importance of a strong, homogeneous, White population for Western Civilization. If I can, why can't you?
