The Faux Pas Press #22
A Weekly Thought
By Jason Fresh
The Incorrigible
I am incorrigible – have been called that by many. And it seems almost a complement –not intended as a complement to the sender, but nonetheless, it is a complement. What needs correcting that cannot be fixed if I am aware? Whose advice do I need if I am aware? If I need correcting according to someone else’s values, it is, if not always, in the majority of said cases the sender’s lack of balance between self and ego, their strict adherence to some horrid attachment, their education or indoctrination (you pick). I say again, I am incorrigible.
If you don’t like it, ask yourself a couple of questions? 1) Am I a douche bag? (I know that I, Jason Fresh, am a douche bag; I’ve spent more time in the female vagina than most grown men I’ve ever met. So, of course, I am a douche bag. Most women don’t douche anyway. I think douche bag is appropriate. Studies have shown that the collective feminine prefers my cock to a dying douche bag market.) 2) Do I need Jason Fresh to change so that I can be whole? (You don’t have to use my name if you are egocentric; you can use your own or the name the establishment gave you.) 3) When am I going to get the courage to be incorrigible too? 4) What is that I hate in people? (Seriously, think of what you absolutely hate in a person. Jason Fresh thinks he is greater than the earth; he has a hereditary predisposition to narcissism, and a blatant disregard for the feelings of others.) The last question is the most important. If you make a long list of all the traits you find in others, you will soon discover that these are you. Every evil that you decry is a mirror.
You say that someone is selfish; you are really jealous that they have the courage to take care of themselves. You say that someone is ugly; aren’t you the one who knows where the ugliness dwells? You say that someone is arrogant; god, don’t you wish you could value yourself that much? Every evil that you decry is a mirror. Your list of evils is not a list of evils at all. It is a self inventory.
Carl Jung also describes the type of awareness I describe. “Modern man,” he maintained, “must rediscover a deeper source of his own spiritual life. To do this, he is obliged to struggle with evil, to confront his shadow, to integrate the devil. There is no other choice.”
