Thread: The Wisdom of a Random Black Guy on the Streets

Cool story br... Actually that is a really cool story.

Could take it as a sign about yourself. Thanks for sharing.

Very insightful indeed. Interesting.... I wish things like this happened to me.

Ever since I started riding my bike around the neighborhood walking the streets alone, I've witnessed all sorts of odd stuff.

"you a coward. Don't be criticizing people you don't know"

I smell irony.

Putting your own and other people's lives in jeopardy for no fucking reason is "wisdom"? All I can infer from this thread is that there is a profound lack of intelligent interactions in your life or you wouldn't confuse a lunatic for a sage.

Did the man by any chance look like this?

You're missing the point. It wasn't as dangerous as you seem to have perceived it. To me, however, it was dangerous. The man wasn't in any real danger . He just did things in a way I would not have had the courage to do myself. I'm not really saying the man himself was intelligent or a "sage", but the things he said and did gave me some insight.

You obvioulsy lack intelligent understanding of what Black_Eagle was indicating. The moral of this story is simple, it's not about intelligence, however the concept is intelligent, when you factor in the true nature of what has transpired with him. It's about a thing called "self-assurace" and the ability to take a chance and step out of your comfort-zone and make things happen in your life. It's not hard to understand when you stop looking at things in a negative light and open your mind up a little.

yeah, and is it me, or does this story sound like a bunch of bs? Sounds way to inspired by a dream, and a little to unbelievable and cliche.

I think thats just you.


It sounds pretty reasonable to me.

other day, I walked around a corner as saw a girl drop her pants to take a pee but she pulled them up when she saw me. I had to walk by her tying to hold in a big ass grin on my face...I didnt walk right by her, but close enough...

sweet random event eh?

That's absolutely ridiculous. If a man crossing a street is the philosophical highlight of your week, perhaps you should start surrounding yourself with some books or something because your life is clearly devoid of any meaningful content. If a random stranger calling you a "coward" makes you question your personality and entire life maybe you could use some more self-criticism in your day to day life.

If he wasn't in any real danger then why did you devote a whole paragraph to laying out how he was standing in the middle of an active lane? Clearly you're making the point that Mr. He-Man is awesome because he has no regard for his fellow car-driving citizens.

Lets be fair, something like this is bound to have more a profound affect than say reading a point, or arguing to it. Although I find the message of this whole affair rather empty, nonetheless I think there is certainly something valuable to take from an experience like this, and it can't be entirely disregarded as 'dumb'.

Obviously books are a much better experience than... experience.

Way to criticize someone for telling us about something personally significant. Maybe if you paid a little attention to the world you'd see meaningful moments dont need to come in the form of aliens arriving through portals to tell you the meaning of life. Contrarily, usually the greatest lessons in life are hidden in our most subtle interactions.

Seriously, good job proving your superiority by rating the value of other people's experiences. Next time I ever wonder if something meaningful happened to me, I'll come to you first.

You're awesome.

I think he is using irony to convey a message here.

Also, read thread title.

haha, reminds me of cuzco, peru...its pretty common to see a homeless guy in the middle of a busy street start jacking off. Human shits are more common though in the church gardens though.

Keep it on-topic please guys.

That was not my experience at all in Cuzco.

I only saw one homeless guy doing it, I'm not saying it was very common, but keep in mind that he was doing this just a half mile away from the central square where all the tourists flawk too. Now, if you wander a couple miles outward, its very common, thats where the tourists don't go (where all the real poverty is)

Cuzco is truely an ugly place to be. The tourists think they are seeing things that are authentic and cultural, but the church at the main square is completely fake (at least everything that they showcase to you inside).

I had to fight of a gang of girls who were trying to mug me and my friends at night (no joke). You would have to be crazy stupid to enjoy a place like that, but if you travel just over the mountains, its beautiful and authentic, until you reach the next town, but a few towns later it gets better.
