wake up. wake up now. it is so easy to be asleep. it is so easy to ignore what is going on. people do it ever day. every day of their life, ignoring reality, building some kind of false idea of for themselves. and this get's called 'happiness' and it sustains itself for as long as it can, which it seems for some is years or decades. and this is then called the compromise of life ..what you 'must do' in order to survive.
but then wake up. what's so hard about the wake .. is that. what you see then is such total disaster. such waste and, ultimately, sadness. you see life dieing all around you. but this is the reality we have created for ourselves. and yes it is getting worse, don't lie to yourself. it was on it's way down a long time ago and it hasn't turned around.
...
when i was younger the expansion of consciousness seemed to hold the solution. now everytime i wake up i want it to be the last time, i want to be awake for the rest of my life, because i hate existing in a lie, because i hate making judgements that rest on nothing, that play off an empty idea of happiness and human solidarity. the waking up is always so difficult, and so upsetting to realize when i haven't been awake. seeing this is like seeing the death of the world..i did not create this situation, but today it is what is real.
i think that what you're afraid of is that you can see that within yourself you almost want it. you almost want the dieing to play itself out, you want to see the works of man bring out this total destruction. maybe because at least then your world view won't be a lie.
