Sometimes you just need to be unknown - Unknown

No carbs - anonymous

When is one's work worth more than it should already be? When he or she is dead. Sad as it is, it's true. An artist's paintings are worth more when he or she is dead. Many choose not to listen to what a person has to offer, because they're "too small, unimportant".

Who do you look to when you want to hear opinions? A stranger, a preacher, a politician, your parents, or your teacher? Teachers are to teach certain ways, and while they try to give advice, be a guiding hand you might be needing, trying is all that can be done. Some don't succeed in getting through, and many more are unable to help, as they themselves don't understand. Aren't you supposed to respect your elders? Don't parents have an understanding their children do not? They've lived longer on this earth than their children have, so isn't their opinions worth more? Yes and no. Yes, parents have opinions we should take into consideration, but no, their opinions are not all that good. As a parent to a child has lived longer than said child, their opinions may be biased, and parents will sometimes try instilling a sense of "I'm in the right, you're in the wrong". Sometimes, but not always. A politican is tricky. We never know if what they're saying is what they believe they want us to hear or if what they're saying is what they firmly believe in. Some of the things a politican can say are good, things that we may need to consider, but really, in a world of politics, who're you going to believe? A preacher will preach the good word, but how good is that word? It could be biased, and it could be confusing, too. And if you've heard something being preached so many times, won't you grow bored with listening to this "good word"? Strangers are the last to ever be considered for who you want to hear opinions from, but a stranger can make an excellent listener and advice giver sometimes. A stranger has no familiarity with you, so how would they know what you may or may not want to hear? Furthermore, wouldn't a stranger be blunt with you? You are a stranger to them, so what purpose would restricting what they say to you hold?

I'm not saying go actively seek out unknown people to talk to, but what I am saying is that being unknown holds weight, as when people don't know who you are, they will be more likely to take what you say into account. Yes, Unknown is right. Sometimes it's better to be unknown.

No carbs to me means "the excess in life takes away its spice". Life is strange, I think we can all agree on that, but which life is better? Living life extravagently or average? Most would say they'd wish to live life extravagently, but I'm not too sure that's a good idea. Money can corrupt if you're not too careful, and power can go to your head if you don't watch out. Living average isn't bad, as what is average, anyways? Life is too good already, to those who make the best with what they have now. Living a life that's rich doesn't mean you have to be rich, it means that you can live life making the best out of its moments. No carbs, live life without its carbs.
