Who ever said money can't buy happiness was full of shit.
There is this club downtown that I would go to nearly every night of the week if I could afford to. There are so many amazing bands that play there, so many I'd love to see and to see again. I would love to travel the world and see all that my eyes can take in. If I could I would seek out and become my true self and not worry about any social reprocussions, any ostrization, or anything or anyone that would try to keep me down because I would not need them and say "Fuck you! I don't need you, this is who I am dammit!!"
Yeah I dream big. So what? I feel if nobody ever dared to dream big we'd all still be living in caves starting fires with two sticks and going out everyday to hunt our daily meals. We as humans were given the brain power to overcome these rudimentary basics and we have. We evolved and those things are no longer laborus chores. We live in houses, buildings, structures that provide for us. If we want food we just go to the cabinet, open up the refrigerator, use the stove or microwave, or even just pick up the phone and somebody will bring us food.
We as humans have figured the basics of living out so well that we can use much more of our mind power to focus on other issues. I would say the greatest being trying to figure our own selves out. We were given this gift of consciousness, of intelligence, of individuality. We became not just humans, but people.
Unfortunately there are humans out there who are opposed to learning about and discovering all there is to know and do in being human. Wars are started over religions and race. There is no compassion, only hate and misunderstanding. People are driven by greed and their own sense of fucked up morals. If people could see past cultural differences, past skin color, past religion, past gender and sexuality, they would see another human just like themselves.
Our brain power has been both a gift and a curse. We have unlimited potential to do whatever we want but we are held back by greed and prejudice. Hell, we as humans even manage to outright kill most anybody who dares say that we must set aside greed and prejudice and see each other as humans. I can't even imagine what the world would be like if instead of developing ways to kill one another we focused on helping one another.
"So you children of the world
Listen to what I say
If you want a better place to live in
Spread the word today
Show the world that love is still alive
You must be brave
Or you children of today are
Children of the Grave!"
Black Sabbath - Children of the Grave
Great Sabbath drop!
ReplyDeleteI encounter a lot of resistance to my journey as well. There is so much bigotry and it comes from all directions. My lesbian aunt told me "if you don't have the genitals you aren't the gender" and I needn't go into the sort of bigoted mindsets word-mongering armchair political activists online have.
Ambition matters. I'm willing to do anything to accomplish my goals. One man has offered to fly me to Venezuela for cosmetic surgeries, and I can work it off as his porn star whore. If he's serious, so am I. Guys say a lot of things, but the opportunities *must* be explored for authenticity because we have goals to accomplish.
Keep chasing that rainbow, Isobelle!

Amen.
ReplyDeleteIt's why I get so frustrated with US politics right now. We have the resources to help so many more people than we do because people are busy hoarding wealth, and then telling the rest of us that our neighbors are out to take what we have.
I'd gladly give what I have to someone who needs it if it meant I also got what I needed.
Nice Isobelle, yeah there's a lot of wars coming up and still on that the media doesn't care or doesn't want to tell us about, half of them if not all are for religion, that's why i abandoned religions beliefs a long time ago, not to blame other people who pray or believe in anything superior called GOD or something else :3, but i don't understand why people hates so much other people who doesn't believe in what they believe, doesn't the first commandement (in every religion is there for something :3) "Love your neighbor as yourself" is then a bunch of crap they are trying to sell you, i don't see how sending terror all over the world is that, geez i need to see it through all of this, i need to see when people start caring for each other as you say in your rambling :3 the world was better before all those so high institutions that took religion for them and started to spread anything they wanted, another thing is that the money while moves the world, doesn't have to bring the ultimate happiness, ;) i'm sure there's someone out for you, who will show you his/her love Isobelle, but i know getting a new car, new toy, etc is good too :3 we aren't stupid...
ReplyDeleteI'm with you all the way Isobelle, they still cannot steal our dreams, and dreams can come true.
Such is the power of us humans :)
