if only as simple as redrawing lines we could make ourselves thinner, better curves, all fit into a size 2 and have porceline skin.
if only by thought could we remap our entire belief system of beauty and value, and self hatred, and obession
if only by word could we choose not to villify, or degrade, or dehumanize those around us, and those within us
if only by energy could we see light and darkness coming to us, and learn that they are two sides, creation and destruction. we are either doing one, or the other, or neither the worst offense of all.
if only there were stopping points before we waste an entire week before saying, i could have had something by now
if only we were to pull out and conciously think of all the little things that destroy earth, love, and the livelihood of mankind, and not try to do everything. but to make plans to change something that is affective. even if its on a small level.
i get in moods like this sometimes.
you know the mood to say. . .
i know inside myself what is true, and then i know all the lies my ego plays in order to destroy me, or dis illusion me, and i know that more often times than not, that progress is being made step by step, with people that in words, action, and thought, say "fuck the industry" and whatever it thinks it knows about how the world has to operate. whatever things seem skewed, probably are, and need to be adjusted, by people like us, people without all the power, but that have nothing to lose. people that are creative, and poor or rich, and independent, and true to themselves. there is complexity, and there is life, and true concerns, like i myself think about, like what you're going to eat tommorow, knowing there are a list of things you'd do before you starve, and before you end up homeless. and you sure as hell hope you dont have to do all of them, before you get back on your feet again. and then there's looking at yourself in the mirror realisitcally which ain't fucking easy. there is such immense power within people to achieve extrodinary things. talk to someone. dont knock them. encourage them, tell them, go do what it is you've been wanting. it happens everyday. people getting out of ruts, and believing, and making progress. you have no idea how much just one word of encouragement makes in the life of another.
thanks for letting me rant. i'll get off my soapbox now.
