Their sandcastle of false promises and fake fears is crumbling as growing waves of consciousness degrade it's foundations. Can you feel it? I can, and it's beautiful.
The existing power structure is going to fall soon. Why not give it a push...
After all, their only power over many of us is a well spun definition of "success" which has been gently pounded into our heads since youth. We're meant to believe that material wealth and power over others is the root of happiness. Real world experience shows that this couldn't possibly be true.
Don't waste the prime of your life conforming and competing in hopes of retiring at middle age to a carefree and cushy existence. Trust me: it won't be there by the time you get there... and even if it is, you'll have squandered your youth and so much legitimate opportunity that your only reconciliation will be the incessant consumption of trivial and wasteful experiences.
If you're one of the few who end up "making it", here's what you'll gain from your labors...
You may travel around the world, but you won't discover anything.
You may have more money than you can spend, but it'll burden you more than it serves.
You may have power over others, but they will hate and mock you behind your back.
You may build your own little empire, but will have to maintain and protect it for as long as it stands.
You may eat the finest foods, but they'll do nothing to nourish your stunted and sickly soul.
You may live long, but the longer you live the more painfully aware you will become of your utter pointlessness.
Eventually, you will realize that you stood against human evolution and your life was at best inconsequential and at worst counterproductive or destructive.
I say it's better to live fully right now with no expectation of ever "making it". You only live once, and the older you get the more stuck in their ways you'll become. Break out now.
See the problem is that our world is overrun by big babies who've never gotten past their terrible twos. They're all about ME, ME, ME and to hell with everyone and everything else. If Our Generation has anything worth doing in these doomy days, surely it is throwing wrenches into their maddening machine.
There's a song about those who squandered their one short life. I listened to it a thousand times in high school, and it no doubt has helped me avoid squandering mine.
I encourage you to follow along with the words because this young man from Texas is screaming truths which we can all benefit from acknowledging.
Strung Out - Rottin' Apple
Hey tired man I see you walk alone.
The wrinkles on you face, a map of all your pain.
Your expression becomes an open book of time, filled with pages of forgotten hopes.
Good intentions, regret, disillusion with life, animosity, unbridled purity.
All these things that I swear I see, and your eyes tell me that you could never be.
So many times I've stared into the eyes of the young, the old, the lonely and the wise.
To find a glimpse of all I have not seen .
To find some peace for my jaded mind.
Don't wanna live my life by the second hand of a clock that's long since past me by.
You say I've got to stay in line,
Well your line is going nowhere and so are you.
Choices decisions made smokin' away the pain inside.
Sit back and watch it all go by.
We could never find the peace of mind we need,
We hid it all away for another day.
Sit back everything's gonna be alright.
Rivers of pain map your agin' skin.
Your expression a journal of where you've been.
All your dreams and your chances lost.
You walk along that dotted line.
Do you remember a time when you used to dream?
Do you remember a time when you used to live?
All your dreams and chances they're all gone.
So you gave it all away unable to say all you wanna say.
Look at you now - turned out to be the face of misery.
Look at you now a rottin apple's all I see.
Their other power is fear. Fear that if you stick up for what's right and speak your mind, you will be ostracized or incarcerated. No one wants to go to prison, but that's exactly where you'll end up if you don't toe their line. Right? Nah.
For decades countless people have screamed the truth with little or no consequences. Many of these people have become truly successful entirely because they were so damn vocal and honest.
If you want YOUR LIFE to amount to more than acquiring your own little hill of digital beans, seek the truth at all costs and spread it regardless of consequence.
To be continued...
