Is it your job to change the world? Is it your job to reform _________?

I mean, Jesus Christ and the Buddha already walked the Earth -- and we still have what we have.

So what the fuck are you going to do?

work on changing myself, i guess. which while not quite as hard as changing the whole world, can still be pretty damn difficult.

the older i get, the less it becomes about reforming anything, or even getting involved in the monkey games, and working on myself while waiting for larger shifts to take place organically.

My purpose is easily summed by the words of Mel Lyman:

[flemco]

I am going to burn down the world
I am going to tear down everything that cannot stand alone
I am going to shove hope up your ass
I am going to turn ideals to shit
I am going to reduce everything that stands to rubble
and then I am going to burn the rubble
and then I am going to scatter the ashes
and then maybe someone will be able to see something as it really is Watch Out
