Life on the edge
We all live by the rules of engagement set by our predecessors. The looping and winding pages of text and thought that govern our lives. We cling to it like a baby to a blanket, comforting in its warmth, its promise of security and false hope. How long can we survive on this social safety net,always below us but promising to crumble at the first sign of stress. In fact this net ties us to normality ,it blocks the endless potential we are capable off, it BLOCKS GROWTH and turns us into the mass undulating unthinking JELLO we have become. The greatest minds of our times understood what the rules were, they braved the edges of its dominion and peered into the chasm of potential that lay beyond it. And for their bravery they suffered. They suffered the jeers and torment of the US, watching from behind the yellow line, not daring to step into the uncharted territories of the mind, not even daring to look in the mirror without our preconceptions masking our true faces, which by now have rotted away leaving a blank shapeless void where a person should be.
Why cant we understand the threat of normality, of security, we have LIVED in this play pen for far too long, and yet we cant see the translucent barriers that hold us within our rotten puke filled hole in the ground. Normality breeds boredom ,anxiety, depression, stupidity, DEATH OF THE MIND, death of the soul, death of the fundamental essence of man. But yet we pray for it, we study for its exams , we marry into the death, we spawn them from our loins like so much crap then we die, luxuriating in the shite coursing through our minds and being content because you didn’t miss today’s live broadcast of people pretending to live.
It’s ironic that they call it a live broadcast when it sucks the very will to LIVE from people, we worship the box that shows us death, destruction, misery, stupidity, and we revel in the garbage it throws at us. You call it a guilty pleasure? What kind of pleasure can be derived from watching society crumble to dust? The box has become our barometer for social decay. We watch as parts of humanity drop off the super structure one by one. Marriage. GONE. Trust. ADIOS.
LOVE. RELIGION. CREATIVE THOUGHT. CURIOUSITY.TRUTH. INDEPENDENCE.
Who needs them?
We have the TV. We have the rules. We have the 9 to 5 job. We have Social Security. We have pension, We have Big Brother whispering into our ear telling us that this downward spiral was all part of the master plan. That everything is okay. So we stay behind the line. And line up for today’s dosage of lies and poison. Eat up.
Those who live on the edge aren’t fearless, we all have a fear of heights, but only THEY know that those heights are worth taking crossing the line for.
Its 9.pm. Primetime, go ahead, you’re gonna miss your shows.
