Surfing through the catacombs of my mind, I wandered deep and low. It wasn’t the weather that triggered these thoughts rather something more. I was embarking on everything I deemed to be true, everything I assumed I had learned and every accomplishment I celebrated. It was sad really but on the brighter side I questioned the validity of truth, learning and accomplishments – it is all vain and pointless. The truth will only cripple you and what you may perceive as a truth another may distinguish as a lie and it’s difficult to prove either as just or convincing. Learning is a life-long process but without guidance it can be lethal. Accomplishments are something that everyone gloats over whether minor or major ones. Let me ask you, where do you plan to shove these accomplishments once you’re dead?
Everything is perishable from flesh to blood to bones to muscle! Your entire body rots to a stage of helplessness as you age and then you die a pitiful death. What is the point of these codes of conduct, virtues, morals and ethics when you are going to perish anyways? Does the fear of punishment from the mortal realm or the fear from a higher power cripple your urges to such an extent that you need to wear a mask or build a conscience to prevent yourself from doing things you like but are considered as a taboo to the mass? Whatever happened to people putting up those cheaply lame messages such as, “Live your life, your way” and “Be yourself”, it’s a bad joke. Instead of asking you to be yourself, they should ask you, “which mask you want to wear today so it’s easier for us to accept you? “.
Another fine example of our hypocrisy could be traced to the simple line, “Looks don’t matter” - another bad joke. Yes! Looks do matter and I have seen it, felt it and admired it! No one wants to be caught in public with weird ass ugly friends or a lover who looks and dresses like a bag of garbage that rolled out of a bin. We even choose the people we fall in love with. We’d rather pick a gorgeous stranger we’ve known for a little while than a weird-goofy, trustworthy friend we’ve known for ages. We base our judgments more on looks than personality; character and then we blame our partners for being ineffectual… well jackasses, you’ll were the ones who chose them so stop crying about it and get on with your pathetic lives! The funny thing here is that we don’t accept the aforementioned fact. The lie of “accepting people for who they are” is as delusional and as fake as breast implants. If tomorrow I were to tell my neighbors, friends and family that I am an alcoholic, a drug addict, a gangbanger who loves screwing hookers and a fucking homosexual who has AIDS, would I be accepted? They’d outcast me like a leper or just to abide by social norms, keep me around a little and then drop me at the first sign of trouble. Yes! That is exactly how wretched and dismal our society is, was and will always be. No one accepts this as well till it happens and then they are forced to abide by their words. Funny! Laughing yet?
Humans throughout history have been vacillatingly verbose, vicariously vicious and vaguely vacuous, void of any thought other than the ones that were planted in their heads by their incompetent parents, siblings or peers which later on surfaced only to cause more confusion and damnation to their existing struggle. It almost makes me believe that if laws, rules and regulations didn’t exist people would kill each other like how they did back in the good old days! The words “ethics” and “morals” have long lost their significance in my eyes. What I see now are bunch of tools fighting each other for some sort of prize or social status. They are so engrossed in their own profits that they destroy whatever doesn’t concern them. It’s almost righteous to think that there is nothing humane about humans. It is right to degrade your neighbor as a miscreant because when the chips are down he will do anything in his power to survive, even stomp on your belly for a meal. It’s true, as the late Paul Gray said, “We live in a society wherein one guy puts his hand up another guy’s ass and pulls him inside out”.
There are no answers as to why we behave like this. Why we disapprove of things simply to be different or why we degrade things and people we don’t like even though they show great promise, potential and talent? What makes us deny the truth and shape our lives around a fucking lie? What is the truth and what is a lie? We are so obsessed with vengeance and remorse that we build our lives around them. Why do we want to prove ourselves superior or boast on another friend’s attributes? It’s lame and disgraceful. Everything we know, live for, die for may be a lie. We are so consumed by the bullshit our parents and teachers spoon-fed us as children that it has become our only truth, our only guidance. We never sought to question but blindly swallowed that mixture with uncertainty and doubt. We digested those made up facts like mindless puppets; we kept on believing that everything on Earth was created to serve man. Bollocks! Existence is useless if half your life is guided by misunderstandings and the other by blind faith. It’s time to think and act, to truly be different and stand up for what you feel is just and express yourself the way you want to. Fuck this system, fuck their disguises, fuck your friends, your family, your teachers, neighbors and fuck everything they told you or still continue to tell you... do what you want to do! Rebel if you have to or be submissive but choose your decision after much insight rather than gulping suppression like some cheap whiskey.
Now before you guys start agreeing or disagreeing with me I want you all to take a moment out of your busy lives and think about it. Think about everything I said, reflect on them. If it makes sense to you, if you agree with me then live by it. If you don’t then keep on trucking the only way you know.
