The Rebel Within

Take a look at the big picture, be aware of the world around you, this is how we learn and grow as people. Be weary of loaded words, things are more complex than definition. Trust is reserved for family and friends, anyone else has an angle or agenda, and it's not always good. Every person makes a difference, your actions and relationships change and effect others. Start a revolution in your mind, be critical of yourself, how do you spend your time? What are you feeding your mind? Have you abandoned nature and true reality?

As you effect things, outside influence and events effect you. When we go to war it is family members, neighbors and friends putting their lives on the line. When taxes and expenses are passed down it is your hard work the government skims from, it's 25% of your livelihood. When media is suppressed your mind is robbed, when bailouts happen you are robbed. These things do effect you, they effect you every day. The writing is on the wall, History has brought us here, History reveals our mistakes and taunts us when they are repeated.

Start a revolution in your mind, because it does matter, you matter. Everything that has been created outside of nature was first an idea, a flash across the mind of a person just like you. We are the shepards of our own lives, our own realities. Picture the world you want to live in, think how we can get there. Look at the past, look at the present, where are we moving as a country, as a society, as a human race? Time slips through our fingers and brings us abruptly to the future, know it, experience it, change it for the better, because time will never cease.

We are on the edge of History, we are the generation bringing in a new millennium, technology is advancing faster than ever before. Question authority, question Science, questions technologies. Are we using them to benefit ourselves or dehumanize ourselves? Are we creating things that will push us forward or repress us in self-loathing and lethargy? It's through scrutiny that we learn truths and perfect our creations. Don't trust the word of someone you don't know on the picture box, investigate for yourself, there are agendas out there that do not care about your best interest or your family. Pat attention.

People can be simplistic, they hold onto fear, and have a tendency to be uncomfortable with anything different from the status quo. What if the status-quo is wrong? What then? As we get older we realize adults were wrong, we realize they are just as childish as we once were. They name-call to advance in an argument without sound reason, they sacrifice others for their own benefit, they hoard and lie. These are human imperfections, and every day we each battle them, every day we are given the opportunity to choose what we do, how we react, and what kind of person we want to be, these opportunities are ageless.

We are fragile yet powerful, through our advances as people we become immortal, but we all perish. Know you will someday die. Every day leading up to that end is yours, define yourself. Don't fear the inevitable, don't let fear control or change you, be selfish with the time you are given, the clock is always ticking. People will always use this fear against you, this is the world we live in, this is our reality. Fear is used to change the world and the futures we envision, the world we have always hoped to forge is twisted with every decision made in the shadow of fear. The government says it will protect you, but nothing can protect you from the ultimate end. In that end will you look back in regret? Will you be proud of standing up for yourself and your convictions, or will you reflect back on the wasted years of cowardly submission?

In History we see every government abuse it's power, strangle it's citizens and conduct unjust wars. It's very real, thousands of people die every day without you noticing, women and children are slaughtered. Do you care? Foreign lands aren't alien planets, they are filled with people just like you, imagine the terror, the pains of these people, and how lucky you were to not see these horrors. Don't take that for granted, because it can happen to you. Be grateful, not afraid. No government in History has ever deserved unwavering trust, every government grows and represses with growth. You are not your government, government is never to be feared or trusted, it's through fear and trust that government has executed the most horrific crimes against humanity.

Reality television, advertisements, cars and "things", they are all distractions. They distract you from the questions you should be asking. "Why am I here?" "What is life's purpose?" "What happens when I die?" "What is right?" These are the questions we are here to ask, these questions are complex, we are given a lifetime to figure them out. You are born and die naked, alone, with no car or home or bank account. What happens in between those two days is what you gain in life, it is what you do with that time that empowers and fulfills you. Never let someone else answer these questions for you.

This isn't a game, this isn't a talking point, it's your life. What will you do with it? Are you paying attention and looking to the future, or doing what your told, wasting away the years before your ultimate fate? Live, love, learn, and laugh, ask questions, stand up for yourself, be someone you can be proud of, be aware.
