Now it can't be outfought, it can't outdone, it can't be outmatched, it can't be outrun."
It seems to me that a lot of us aren't too happy with our situation. Maybe it's immaturity, an unwillingness to accept our fate, or an awakening from all the lies we've been sold our whole lives. But I'm finding that I, like many people around me, are throwing into question the meaning of their existence and the path our environment has forced upon us. If not the meaning, then the consequences, whether they be personal or general in nature. Look at yourself, where you are, what you're doing?. Can you say that you are satisfied? Is it wisdom, faith, or the erosion of time that makes the older generation seem more content. I suppose we have a lot to be thankful for, but does that mean you should maintain the status quo?
What is happening to reason?
"God save us everyone we'll be burned inside the fires of a thousand suns, for the sins of our hands, the sins of our tongue, the sins of our father, the sins of our young."
People don't like to concede the obvious, particularly if it means that something fundamental in their lives must change. People are creatures of bad habit, happy to continue even the most ignorant and illogical behavior as long as it is comfortable and familiar. They will ride the pendulum to the very extreme, swinging further and further, laughing all the way, until the whole system crashes without ever even trying to understand why. Our history is rife with the consequences of mass ignorance.
The only question that remains is when the pendulum breaks again, will you be frightened or ecstatic?
