ask yourself:
what do you believe?
i believe that most things are not as they seem.
i believe that what most of us deem as 'truths' are merely trickled down,
co-opted, converter, and bastardized versions of once truths that today
have been assimilated and accepted as truths so as to fit the current cultural paradigm.
it sounds non-committal of me in that i have a hard time deciding on what to believe
when so much of what we are taught isn't real.
i feel burdened sometimes by my lack of ability to be fully convinced of things
i occasionally would rather be convinced of,
but most of the time i'm glad i'm of the mind to know the difference.
the phrase 'nothing is true, all is permissable,' rings in my mind a lot these days.
though i don't totally agree with that in the sense that there are
somethings to be taken at face value...
for example; the love of a child to parent and parent to child. (and a few other rare exceptions.)
but most other things that we literally hang the fabric of our existence on
don't stand balanced and strong on this tight rope walk.
could we as a species learn to handle such things? actual truths?
or is there a fundamental reason why we are taught to accept what we are told?
maybe somebody somewhere knows that people (en mass)
wouldn't handle having the table cloth torn our from under them.
maybe someone or some people knew and know that people, once again 'en mass',
would fall to the ground and shatter like cheap crystal at a suburban dinner party.
i think i have been preparing myself consciously and unconsciously
to know things that others don't or things that others couldn't handle.
so in that case, i'm ready to know more.
