To Whom it May Concern,
The artist in me wants to take you by the throat and throttle you until all of your money and despair falls out of your pants. Then, to add some irony, I would take that money and buy many, many good things for you to make you feel balanced. The despair would either get swept under a rug, or snail-mailed to someone who could refurbish it into happiness.
The logic in me says that you wouldn't ever want that. That act doesn't make any sense.
I would like to lodge a formal complaint against whoever put us all up to this. All of a sudden we thought that a perfect lifestyle is measured in a form that eventually becomes a trend. Those who propel themselves against that current of thinking and action know only that there is a reason why. Somehow, we've even commercialized those people who claim to know what the reason is.
Unfortunately those who don't "know" what it is, are faced with an emotional, neverending struggle to believe that the reason they keep on trucking is just there. Something thats within our grasp, anything! Except there are millions, upon millions of ways to harness what it is that you want. Why don't you just give up? If you can't get it there's probably a reason. What's the point in thinking so if there is just going to be people and shit that keep you cemented to where you DON'T want to be. Society can blame itself too. There always seems to be at least one asshole that wants your glory, in whatever form that asshole may appear. Get your head out of your ass, there's no such thing as true happiness.
Dammit.
I can't hear that anymore. What strength is known to exist in an individual soul, is something that can't be stopped. Whether you believe in souls or not, it's nevertheless a matter of quality of life. Emotion, can string you pretty high up, and can crush you with a ton of weight but it will never kill you unless you LET it. It can almost be viral, and its the only ailment that can affect the extremity of your health by soley depending on what your heart is saying. Not what we eat or do to our physical bodies.
Thats not a happy thing to say about it of course. Emotion is also beautiful. It is what makes us extraordinary creatures and for that, we have to treat it as our own deity. It will give us strength to do what we need and want, and it will be the shadow that chases us day by day. But the biggest thing it does for us, is give us some insight on a truth.
Since emotion tips the scale on action, it's a good thing to know that what we feel and think are not necessarily separate. What we feel formulates our thought processes, our morals, and our beliefs, the things that propel our action. And in the circle of life, as we grow it is action that formulates what we feel. Since the two work closely together, and since this is something everyone can figure out, it's no secret that when you act it's clear about what you feel.
Humans are like books, we can either have a terrible storyline with an overdeveloped character, or an underdeveloped character with an amazing storyline. We can have big print or small print. Pictures or complete text. Some of us even have indexes, or are walking encyclopedias.
The point is, is that we're complicated, but it's simple emotion that tells us whats simple. And thats something everyone has in common. Another known fact is what we want, will always have an effect what other people recieve themselves.
If the guy that implemented this bullshit idea we've been living off of still works with you society, I suggest you fire him. He's a menace. Fire him and then read a book. Preferably your own. Maybe then you'll get your revolution.
