Some years ago I was shouting about the problem. Now I am sitting here in front of a computer with many thoughts going round in my head. To those who don't understand let me make it clear that physically I feel sick with distress. Today I can get up and go for a walk or cook something to eat. For those of you who don't understand I say FUCK OFF AND DIE. Oh dear - does that sound offensive? Try flechette missiles for babies it's much more fun. And here's the thing - some of them don't die, they just suffer and are traumatised and maimed. What fun.
I made the profound error of believing the bullshit spewed out by those in authority. I paid attention. Strange phrase that. I "paid". I was attentive and aligned myself as much as possible with their desired perspective. I agreed that kindness was a good thing. I agreed that honesty and equality and good intentions were values to be cherished. I was always the first to "bury the hatchet", make way for others, tolerate mistakes and generally be amenable to those around me.
So now I am shocked to my foundations to find that really the people espousing those ideas and dictating to those smaller, younger and weaker than themselves do not abide by their own values. They, instead, abuse these values to maintain their advantageous position over others. In fact they derelict those values, they dispose of them, they turn them on their head and lie and cheat and assault and deceive to harm other people to maintain their own pleasure.
There is no way for me to acquire this fabricated commodity called money demanded by others to afford me the capacity to live. I can't make my own way because they have built a fraudulent system of ownership to ensure there is no place for me outside of their constructs. I am caught in a trap. And for those currently immersed in the illusion of this fake materialist culture, this fairground of death, it seems you only have to comply to eke a living and be saved.
But if you do not fit the cultural requirement you are deemed a misfit, a reject, a veritable aberration. You are, in fact, categorically disposable. This culture is polarising around the amazingly insane idea that a pyramid economy can continue to improve whilst undermining the very foundations of its success. This culture is consuming itself. And the first to be annihilated are always the children, the poor, the elderly, the frail, the unemployed, and the sick.
If you have a job and a house and a currently sustainable way of life in this materialistic Western Culture and you judge, dismiss, ignore, or condemn those who are worse off than you, then you are guilty of a most insidious transgression. If you do not lend your humanity to opposing the escalating insanity of this culture then you are feeding it and part of it and as guilty as any of those in power who are creating it. And for those ignorant, self satisfied, sanctimonious, hypocritical religious freaks: Don't go to church - GOD FUCKING HATES YOU.
We are all here for such a short space of time.Whether we enjoy it or endure it, nobody else gives a fuck. We may be dragging others along with us on this life journey, but ultimately, we are alone. We are born alone and we die alone. Everything else is just filler. It's a sad and sorry situation, but we are all a part of the game of roulette where some win but most lose and go home to lick their wounds. And, as you say, we all use metaphors. I am guilty of the same. :/
