first, the big question: what are we all thinking? seriously. very soon there could easily be ten billion people on our relatively small, but absolutely marvelous planet. isn't about time we started to communicate with each other a little better? and to that end, be ridiculously, maybe painfully honest with ourselves and everyone else. we're all either fighting for some fractured shard of a much greater puzzle, or we're ignoring any sense of responsibility to bring the whole picture into focus. and for what? for a tiny, individual piece of existence that could never exist on its own. for brief moments of experience that connect sense, emotion and memory to various temporary expressions, or circumstances, out of context. there is more than that, and we all know it. from the depressed to the ignorant, from the oppressed to the deified. but we have to move beyond knowing, believing or hoping, we have to make it real. right now we use the conceptual like everything else, exhausting it of only the resources that create commercial, or exclusive items and ideas. what's worse, so many inventions or discoveries are kept from the majority of us, sometimes for generations. whether excused with straight denial, or sold to the public through methodically precise, behaviour conditioning marketing schemes, our access and understanding of truth is manipulated and contrived. that's just no way to build a thriving, surviving civilization of co-existence. it's time to rework society, and to dig through the mounds of bull-shit our brief history has managed to pile on.
as an obvious example of a modern-age lie to ignorance to acceptance situation, i turn to the same substance millions, if not billions of people turn to at some time or another: alcohol. now, obviously i've been know to drink from time to time, and some of those times i've been known to drink too much, or too fast. i apologize to any person who has ever had to witness, take care of, or experience my usually very public, sick scene. this being said, i've hardly felt a strong passion for alcohol, and i generally drink to punish myself. don't get me wrong, i'm talking about getting drunk, binging and the likes. i very much enjoy a little whiskey in my coffee, or a cold beer, but we were misinformed then lied to, and now alcohol flows disregarded with significant social acceptance, poisoning our civilization with it's disillusioned sense of euphoria in an abundance that reeks of disrespect. this the simple fact folks: alcohol makes people retarded. i'm not fucking kidding, or using colourful language, it quite literally retards your brain. if you don't understand the actual definition of retard please don't be offended just yet, and click the link for an online definition. or, if you don't trust my choice of dictionary, you're welcome to search yourself. but please, no urban dictionary or wikipedia, you'd just be proving my point. i do not condone using this word in a derogatory sense, everybody is retarded in some way or another, as in we have obstacles, ailments, accidents, defects and the like, which retard us from a veritable smorgasbord of different things in our lives. but alcohol makes it so much worse! especially when it's the fuel of most people's social lives.
while i realize it may seem biased, ponder a different scenario, or an alternate history of modern social behaviour, in which marijuana was the dominant social lubricant. pot, which does NOT KILL BRAINCELLS (but alcohol DOES), would have lead to a radically different modern norm. we would have thinkers, instead of drinkers; high folks, instead of low folks; inspiration, instead of depression; lovers, instead of fighters. but we were lied to, so by now we have this barely walking mess of self-induced retardation, and all her friends, followers or fans. ask yourself, do i even want the existence of the possibility that any child i may have could end up like this, or worse? if you're answer is "yes," "whatever," or "i don't care"... please, never ever procreate. think about it, honestly, we do not want this for our children, or theirs and so on. and if human life has become so complex, complicated, stressful, and the majority of daily routines so confining that we feel the compulsion to actively retard our unique minds, then don't you think it's about fucking time to make, demand and expect a completely truth based, faith driven experience for our capable and curious little species? lets have faith in the existence of life, not god, not an afterlife and not economies, politics or celebrity. real faith, in real life and it's real possibilities. refuse to accept the pitfalls of mediocracy's simple complacency, refuse to believe our existence is essentially insignificant, because it most certainly is not. true, we are fragile, temporary, fallible, etc. but this planet is the ONLY home to life, that we know of, and we are its highest form of able intelligence, for better or worse. that part's up to each of us, literally, everyone of us... there's a long road before us, but i hope a society of these will soon be in our rear-view mirrors:
