I had felt at ease with
the sudden comfort that I had been lying to myself. Usually, drastic
measures might've been taken to avoid this, but as of late, this is
false. There is no such thing as a comfortable numbness, at least when
you're not high. I don't smoke pot anymore. The legal system felt
that it would interject my self-indulgence of something to ease my
isolation with entertainment. After a while, you feel unabridged in
some kind of strange completeness. Not like a veil being lifted, but
like looking at things systematically instead of arbitrarily or with a
calm mellowness. There seems to be more order, but to a person who is
at the opposition of order (left-handed as hell) it only works to other
people's confines and not my own. Eventually you come to the
realization that people aren't really people and reality isn't really
reality. The truth is this lies in the fact that a person's mind
conjuring up a hallucination is no different than it actually
happening. Why? Because your body knows no difference. Therefore,
life could just as well be called a lucid dream, not in actuality but in
metaphor. To all of time, our lives are dreams, little pieces of
nothings that fade out, except we don't get the glory of something so
beautiful that the star does, the nova. If we do, it lies in our
realizations before we die, and that's even taking into consideration
that we make it that far. Most die before their time, never even
knowing the spoils of the emaculate endorsement wisdom offers. But in
truth, wisdom, like all things, is subjective and can never be truly
accounted for. No matter which way you measure it. All of life is
simply particles bouncing and playing out an existence, if the world
hasn't shown much, it has at least shown us that. We think we are so
advanced when really only our technology is, ancient Greeks were just
as advanced as we are. The tragedy is that most never aim nor acheive
their true potential, it isn't something to care enough about,
supposedly. Then again if we live to actually LYE on our death beds,
we finally understand that we wished we would have. You can just smell
the irony in that one. People with a love for history claim that
it's important to know so that we do not make the same mistakes again.
These people are hypocrites and obviously have not picked up what has
happened over time. The human race has illustrated that it does repeat
the same mistakes, after all, we are beings of repetition. The only
living thing escaping this cliche are a form of subatomic particles
which move at random, always and forever, until they dissipate.
Collectively, the only truth, is untruth. It matters not whether
opinions differ between two or agree among millions, it all spawns from
one or either simultaneously (or very close to it, mind you) a few and
then spreads. Although, this is by no means the only way ideas spawn or
come into place. The many cultures of the world pride themselves on
their customs, but then are reluctant to be open minded to others.
Simply put, they are too blind to realize that truth IS based upon
culture as with morality and all the other things so many hold so close
to their hearts without acceptance of others beliefs. Noone ever said
they had to accept them for truths, but just live with the fact that
someone believes differently. Perhaps this is what has kept us at a
gradually declining point in human civilization. The constant struggle
among one another. They miss the point that, today, it is no longer a
matter of defending territories for a herd of buffalo, but a matter of
importing and exporting what your lands already have and produce.
Yet, as with all humans it is instinct that drives us to attempt to
supersede one another in an endless spiral of no progress. That is why
like all species and like all human civilizations of time, the human
race will die out. If evolution would have it, we will be reborn again
one day. Individual truth, Individual spirit, Individual mind. The
mouse WILL destroy the lion.
