Why Live?
Insofar much is present to keep me distracted from the decay of the world. The gleaming new pieces on the windows of stores do much to hold our attention, especially when combined with the promises of happiness, sex and power embedded in the pyschology of the product. Ironically, being drawn down into this belief pushes us ever further from being able to freely exercise the pursuit of such ideals for ourselves. We taste that which we bought and yearn for it to fit into our desires, which in turn were first molded by themetic campaigns cast by the producers themselves. What we truly yearn for is sidelined, the work we put in is diverted into waste by clever manipulation. Such is one of the most henious of robberies unto us; and yet the consistency at which it occurs! Astounding!
But what woman or man will beg tp question her or his own existance without articulated reasons and hope? As she and he moves through time and matter, will they find the propensity to act individually for the sake of establishing an alternate way of life? Perhaps, therein lies the problem; the individual against the collective might of the state and it's police and military. Surely in many ways this is suicide. For myself, the idea of divine protection is but a fantasy. May there actually be gods and spirits, I doubt that we would understand their nature, as already shown by our religions and it's feeble attempts to explain spirituality. The tragic result is one of misguided mobs and obedient slaves. And hence, to have reliance on something unknown must be but a product of fancy.
What then? How animal we are! To desire self-preservation over living. To seek comfort through conformity, and to forget and become ignprant, all so that we can adhere to the irrational notion that doing otherwise would lead us to upset society and become outcaste into the lonliness of rejection. Yet, none can diminish such powerful factors. It seems that upon the point where self-preservation becomes pointless to an individual, she or he is classed as insane. So then, will the insane be the ones that take action? And should they succeed, will they be the ones to inherit the Earth? Maybe when such people are free from factors that requre them to forgo their mortality for their ideals, they may actually be looked upon not firstly as insane but as brave, wise people. Why, after-all, would they want to go on living if people are treated as units or production and reproductivity in some flesh machine factory? And should they decide to continue living, why would they not focus their energies on transforming that very circumstance?
In my passivity and all the powerlessness that I feel, how I wished there were not but unthinking sheep that surrounded me. The more ignorant and faithful these sheep are, the more hopeless I feel. At times, I question if liberty at all was rightly limited from these folk. The fear that has stupified them and me must be lifted! But how?
Wish as I may for the day we all become more enlightened, I fear it may just be too far away. Insofar, there is much keeping us distracted from our heavy hearts. Many gleaming articles upon the stores' shelves can drown away our disappointments for awhile. And most of all, for every unjust event, there is a light but comically disarming response from perpetrators in which scrutinizers find their pursuals ignored by the sheep. They say that there is naught they can do anyway. Howbothersome such matters are anyway when one can indulge in the fantasy of achieving the promise of happiness, sex and power as promised by the media, religion and our own indoctrinated peers!
