Balance.
Yes yes yes.
That checkbook, that bank account, that job you do, the errands you run. Keep pilling shit on the teeter totter and never stop to wonder … why is this shit on my teeter totter? Whats does it mean? How do I feel about it?
There are things that need changing and fixing the most is our society and culture. This conformist, mindless, horrid world where the gross domestic product, and keeping up with the Jones’, is the most important and worthy goal.
Schools where we teach children not to think for themselves or nurture their talents and abilities but chain them to desks all day so that they can spend the rest of their lives in a cubicle.
Wearing the same clothing as everyone else, driving the same cars, living in identical pink stucco homes, going to the same churches, eating the same unhealthy genetically modified food from McDonalds.
Then giving birth to more children destined to lead the same meaningless lives.
People are asleep. People are sheep.
I walk through the suburbs and cities and I weep and rage at the stupidity of it all.
Some of these people try so hard to be “perfect”, with all the fake tans and fake eyelashes and expensive parties and such just to fit in. They work so hard to keep up an appearance. They talk about Balance and chakra alinments and cleansing their aura.
Then they wonder … why am I not happy? Why am I not fullfilled?
People are happy when they’re allowed to thrive and do their own thing with acceptance, not when they’re held down and forced into a mold that they don’t fit in.
It makes me wonder how we are all going to survive together tomorrow if we are so worried trying to fit the “traditional” ideas that are suffocating.
We are taught, brainwashed even, that everyone must fit that mould or esle they are deficient in some way and then must be made to conform.
We are expected to play by the social rules, to have priorities that mirror whatever holywood and the corperate America say we should, etc.
The system isn’t broken.
It’s been methodically turned into a precisely functioning system guaranteed to oppress and press, squeezing out all defiance, independence, and unique potential.
Don’t worry though … You’ll feel “better” as soon as the BMW is paid off.
There is no greater threat to a controlling, selfish, greedy, manipulative society than a strong, bold, creative fighter.
Passionate people are awesome to listen to. They are rare in today’s world, in my opinion. And passionate people that can have an independent thought are even more rare.
Don’t think, don’t think, don’t think. Don’t examine your life, your reasoning, don’t wonder why. Don’t think!
Tow the party line, run the rat race. Do as is expected of you.
Dogmatism and idealogoy runs so deep the non-conformists practice it.
Live life asleep. In a materialistic, banal world where nothing matters and nothing is sacred.
Spew nonsense catch phrase garbage, pop culture wisdom.
Fear everything!
Don’t think, don’t think, don’t think
Don’t stop to feel the wind on your face. Don’t stop to smell the bread baking. Keep that nose to the grindstone.
Don’t look upon the world and wonder, how do I affect it?
How does it affect me? How can I improve these things?
Whats is my relationship with the world around me?
Is it sacred, this world. Am I sacred? Is my relationship with the world around me sacred?
How do I claw my way off this grindstone and into the free air?
Breathe …
Yes yes yes.
