What to say when you lack inspiration? What to do when you have feelings to express but you don’t know how for fear your words will be misinterpreted due to your outward appearance? When a person judges you from the moment they meet you, they turn you into the person they think you are; even if you are not. It is a frightening phenomenon. To feel misrepresented and powerless to do anything about it. Because if someone has already decided who you are, that’s all they’ll ever see. There is nothing more blinding to the truth than being sure of yourself.

Right now I feel as though I’m living in an empire that’s about to fall. I think that everyone in this society is in severe denial over what’s about to happen. I know that I’m in denial when I’m talking about the world situation and then I steer the conversation towards my favorite TV show or all the shit I’m going to buy when I’m older and rich.

I don’t think our future will play out at all like it did for our parents. I’m not sure what we’re in store for, but I sincerely doubt it will be anything like the affluent, stable, and peaceful future of American freedom we’ve all been promised. In fact, I think it may be the exact opposite of that. And it’s so interesting to watch the denial. We all just keep doing what we’ve always been doing, as if the shit’s not about to hit the fan, even though what we’re doing is partially the cause of our downfall and maybe, just maybe, it’s not too late to avert disaster.

But is is too late to avert disaster because our actions have momentum. Even with a conscious effort to change things, it will take too much time. We’re in a luxury car, music blasting, doing drugs, laughing it up with our friends, heading straight for a cliff.

I wonder, I dream, I believe that anything is possible. I always have. But our society robs people of imagination, it tells them to disregard it because those are just silly thoughts…let the experts take care of things. Not that I’m trying to put the blame on something besides the people themselves; we created and we sustain our society. We’re all guilty of it. It’s because we’re afraid. We leave the big decisions to someone else. Of course when you let a small group of people make decisions for all the others they will abuse that power. What we need is true freedom, but in order to make that workable we need to be mature and responsible, and we need to be able to detach ourselves from our emotions in order to make wise decisions. Don’t you ever wonder if there’s not more to life? I see beauty and mystery everywhere I look, but instead of cultivating that beauty and investigating that mystery we ignore it and twist it to work for us. We must conquer fear for fear is what enables others to control us. You must enslave yourself before others can enslave you. But most people think they prefer their chains; that is a fallacy. Freedom is as wonderful as it is frightening. It’s the most beautiful thing there is and it should be cherished. Instead we all give our silent consent to a system that is alienating, enslaving, and killing us, as well as our great mother Earth.

How will we ever solve the prisoner’s dilemma? There is a solution; it’s when we all realize that we can survive better if we actually look out for each other. Since this method of being if more conducive to survival and reproduction, ultimately it will be the one we become. We just need to reach collective evolution; think of a body, the cells all work together. What if a cell group decided to do what’s best for itself and fuck everything else? Well that’s called cancer. It happens, and when it happens it usually kills the body. The earth is the body we are a part of. At this moment we are cancer, but can cancer learn to be benign. I hope so. All we have to do is work together, love each other, and we can be a fully functioning body as opposed to the tumors on a sickly dying body. What future do you want? Think it can’t happen? We used to be monkeys; it can happen. Technology can help. Evolution is far from over. We will evolve or we’ll die. Make your choice. It’s up to us.

I’m sick of it. It’s not really doing anything for me. The word ‘revolution’ is not on anyone’s lips anymore. Why? because you can get your favorite tv show on dvd? Bravo, now you’re fulfilled. Stop being satisfied, start being dissatisfied. The current system is outdated, barbaric, cruel, inhuman. Love thy brother, hate begets hate, evil begets evil. Our problems started with order, not disorder, and humanity is not yet created. Let’s not forget the real purpose of life, that purpose is change. The status quo is terrible, we live in obscene times, we warship war. We think hate is good, hate will bring us peace, well it wont. We are sick, we are immature, let’s get it together people. It’s time for a new system, and, despite that I’m being monitored by the NSA, the word ‘revolution’ is on my lips. Fuck the establishment, having a vote between slave masters, doesn’t eliminate the system of masters and slaves.

We have to be blatant, I’m done dancing around the subject.
