Why is everyone I know so goddamned content, and why am I not. What causes people to place limits on themselves, what causes people to doubt, to be unsure. Why do I see my abilities as limitless as everyone's are. Why do I have such confidence, am I being arrogant? I am proud, I wish to be proud, I wish to achieve a reason to be proud. I am happy, I wish others to be happy. Why is there so much unhappiness, where does it come from, why does it exist? Buddha can go fuck himself, if that damns me to come back as a monkey, or slug, or whatever, than fine, so be it. I'll be the happiest damn slug on earth. What sick evil attaches anything human to suffering. Life is not suffering, please don't believe that it is true. There is so much more. He's got it all backwards. Again I ask, why do people impost limits upon themselves? When was that godforsaken term "settle" dreamed up? Who unleashed this monstrosity. Why would anyone strive to be normal, average, status quo, tow the line etc? Why? O DEAR GOD WHY?! Why does anyone exist to not believe that he or she is that most intelligent, talented, and able person to direct his or her own life? Why would anyone act upon advice without first consulting himself or herself? Why does anyone dream of what he could HAVE done, or could HAVE been? Why don't they seize the opportunities! We should be dreaming of what we can do and can be. Why, someone explain to me why, there exists a mediocrity of spirit within so many. What cripples a spirit? What causes humans to seek to do harm? I cannot, and probably will never understand the need for institutes of justice. Such things should be within all of man. What makes a criminal? What makes the thing that makes criminals? And what makes that? Why does this chain exist? There was a man who moved mountains. We all can, I am sure it There was a man who tamed rivers. There was a man who flew like an eagle. There was a man who sent a rocket to space. There was a man who walked, but not on this earth. We all can, I believe it. Your life is not a circle, it is not a line. It starts right now, it is behind you yes, but in front of you, there is nothing. I suggest you put something there, because you will never be truly happy if you let someone else do it. I know it is hard, there is so much unknown and unseen. But what a challenge, to create a life, and the opportunity is all yours, it screams for you to take it. There was a man (or possibly a woman), once, long ago, many many years. There was a tightness in his chest and a lump in his throat. He felt something that his father and mother did not teach him. It was the most beautiful momemt of his life, a feeling he could not describe but wanted to feel the rest of his life, beyond if possible. He loved, maybe his wife, maybe his daughter, maybe his friend, maybe his enemy. He knew he was happy and could always be, there was so much beauty in the world. He passed love on to all he met in his life, in some form or another. I am grateful that he (or possibly she) did. I believe there are no limits on human love or genius. Have we met a barrier yet? I cannot think of one. Why do people see a wall where none exists? There is nothing but freedom, absolute, to use however you want, to achiever whatever you desire. In this world or in the next, dole out your genius and love fiercly. -Ian
