1: Understand something: I'm not smart, you're not smart - hell, no one's smart! - and I'm not smart for saying so. Today is not a new day, we are not the bright, young future ready to lead the world to some better state of being! We are part of only one state of being, which is always changing but which we do not have the power to change. So, instead of wasting our time trying to define all that we perceive surrounds us and telling ourselves that we are anything other than the most gloriously cursed animals your god or my god or this fucking greeting card's god ever made, let's accept what we call our lives and stop cutting them short because of some abstract ideologies that won't and don't matter, no matter how many people die in their name. There is some truth deep inside the shells we have left of these beliefs and their givers, but it's not this over-logicized heads-in-the-clouds oohhh-mommy-look-at-me-I'm-a-kamikaze bullshit! If you want to find some sort of "enlightenment" then step out of this dark-age mentality dictating that you have any sort of right over life itself and use your spirituality to make that life a little more fulfilling. Any fanatic, left wing or right wing, communist or capitalist or fascist, or muslim jihad insurgent, or protestant Bible-thumping witch-burner, or black panther assassin or klu klux klan grand dragon, or whatever your particular brand of self-restriction and prejudice may be - JUST LET GO OF ALL THE BULLSHIT, AND TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT EACH OTHER! WE'RE ALL THE SAME ANIMAL, GODDAMMIT!
