In an attempt to understand why I am so crippled with fear of what I believe, I have to start by asking myself what I know.
I know I am here, that I am unsatisfied, and that when I think I am satisfied, I am lying.
I know that nothing is acomplished by nothing, and it takes effort to do anything.
I know that I can love, even though I know there's no such thing.
I know I am strong enough, once I know what is right.
I know when it comes time to act, I am not alone.
I do not know why anything happens, except that it can be remotely linked to human agency. I don't know why things are the way they are, or even that they are wrong, but I can make the conjecture from my dissatisfaction that when I am genuine, I will be my own scale for what is right and wrong.
My questions, then, are these:
How do I become genuine?
How do I know my genuine is not someone else's fallible?
When do I have the right to take action against what I perceive as wrong?
Who am I to presume to ask these questions?
I would roll all my questions into a ball and roll toward the overwhelming question...
When do I kill the cop in my head?
