I now realised how right Yagami Light was...!!
I will now admit right here, even if I did not like the character Yagami Light that much since his death was pathetic (and I like cool characters), that I, I, have absolutely nothing against his way of thinking.
No, nothing. :)
None that I can find right now anyway. Maybe I will sometime in the future, who knows. But none right now.
So what if he wants to kill people? He was doing it for the greater good! This is how big people think!
You see, if he never picked up the Death Note, or if L and his successors never existed, Yagami Light would have done many, many great things in his short life! Many, many great things!
And he wouldn't have died a pathetic death, making him a likeable character to me as well! :D = Bonus pointsss.
One of Yagami Light's saying was something along the lines of "I do not need troublesome things like feelings. People before me failed because they had them."
And now I really understood!
Two days ago I woke up feeling groggy as usual.
My mind was on blank mode. And on that day, I only slacked off for 30 minutes when I went off to read Four Leaf Clover, in which the action made no sense at all. I mean, I was wasting time... reading my own story? Reading it, despite knowing full well what's going to come next? Why am I so... egotistical??
That aside, I discovered that me approaching things that I'd been procrastinating with an emotionless approach works very well. I did not procrastinate.
Same for yesterday and today, although there were periods of time such as now that I checked my Blogger Dashboard for other people's Blog updates or any follow ups to comments and updated manga to open new tabs up on, so the next time I come on the computer [when I have free time] I can read them. :)
So in short, Yagami Light was right. Emotions only get in the way of success.
Emotions are totally unnecessary for a successful life (arguably).
And now, I will start talking about things that are probably on your minds. What about happiness? You can't have a happy life without emotions.
Hah! That's where my geniusness comes in! :P LOL, I was joking. I have no genius in meh.
I'll use the emotionless way to gain a million dollars then..!! It's HAPPY TIME UNTIL I DIEEE!!!
Wheeee~!
After all, money can buy happiness. x)
Besides, I can have rest periods for happiness and leisure through my life, it's not like I'll turn into an emotionless brick forever-non-stop until I obtained a million dollars. :/
(That'd probably be impossible anyway. I'd be damned crazy and I'll have no friends. That's a little too depressing, so I'll pass.)
You see, everything works out in the end... unless I don't end up successful, then let's scratch life and let me go commit suicide. :)
P.S. Talking about "success", let me direct you to read this post. xD
This is so true! I would also like to adopt this strategy and achieve success!
ReplyDeleteMy problem is that I am REALLY DAM emotional...
Come to think of it, Yagami must have had emotions in order to want to rid the world of bad people. It's just that he was motivated but negative feelings.
But in order to achieve his goal, he had to kill his feelings.
Hm... well, I become emotionless when I'm tired or when I think about nothing, and so I just need to not worry or think about anything and get going on the tasks that I'd already set (you can worry when setting the tasks)...
DeleteYou're right!!
Yeah, he used to be this super intelligent kid with a lot of potential and a bright future ahead of him... he used to be a kind older brother to his little sister...
THEN!! WHAM, comes the Death Note and Ryuk, and Light got ideas to mass murder criminals. :P
And to kill (and win against L), he did discard his feelings... because he thought that his way was the "right way" that it would bring about a good change, and so he didn't care what happened to himself. But then as things got harder, like when L came in and captured Misa, he became... a little twisted. His noble goal had changed him into something else and he can no longer turned back. So he trudged on, so matter how many sacrifices he had to make, as it was already too late...
Okay, I think I said too many good things about him just then... They're just deductions (and maybe exaggerations) though, he might really just be an evil bastard...
people change if they become fanatical about something I guess. Light was only human, he's not a shinigami.
DeleteYou're right, once someone starts something, it's difficult if not impossible to take it back again, depending on how serious the events are.
Light could definitely not go back. But I think he's cool!
Indeed.
DeleteHe was cool until he died, to me. But L is cooler. :P He's too cool, actually.
