If the power went out on the national scale…
Your only hope would be other humans.
The great mass majority, you would not be able to survive on your own.
It takes a village to raise a child and one bad apple can ruin the bunch.
Hard truth.
You’d have to believe in other people and you’d have to grip on to the social to survive.
A hermit up in the mountains, living in a cabin, he’d be alright.
He’s already figured out how to do it for himself and he’s got no worries.
Without disaster, without catastrophe.
The warm fuzzy concept of community and the absolute root and core
“People are good”
I don’t know how to shake that,
I don’t know how to undo opinion of clever mammals , it’s rough lol.
I didn’t start this way and much like a religious person
“I wanna believe”
I do. Really do.
Wish in one hand and shit in the other, see which one fills up first.
It’s a tough argument, because you’re always right AND wrong, at the same time.
People are good and they are horrible, and they all pretty much want the same things.
Food,shelter, community.
Easy enough.
Go to work, pay your way, contribute taxes and shouldn’t that be enough??
(Not even)
Not even is right.
You’re also expected to be nice, and optimistic and hopeful for the whole thing.
SO magic, you’re supposed to be magic and wishful thinking, you’re expected to do mental gymnastics and settle in to the whole thing…
I’m torn.
For life.
It comes and goes in waves but sometimes,,
Jesus man, sometimes I really hate people,,, beyond that,, I despise them and I despise myself and I don’t want to look at any of it.
The bitch is I’m right.
I’m right about it and the headspace is so inherently wrong..
A fallacy.
Everything cool came from people.
(Wrong, nature)
Yea, fair enough,,,,
I do not know how to undo anger, how to cure misanthropy, how to restore faith in this thing we are.
And I’m kinda irritated that I’m expected to.
Maybe I’m right, maybe we are horrible.
Where do you go from there?
Kinda ruins the experiment.
Kinda ruins art and entertainment , kinda ruins the expression and work of others, if your think we’re all terrible,,
It’s a drag.
And I don’t know how to fix it.
And sometimes we are, and sometimes I hope the whole thing catches on fire,,, annnnnd
Alas.
It’s nothing new .
Nor is it a thought of value.
Just something to wrestle with.
Go out into the world with your mask and don’t let anybody know.
I wish I could smoke a joint before going into work, I don’t do that though. I am an evening guy.
“we just now started letting Italians be white people”-Kevin
I still don’t apologize and I wouldn’t have done it any other way.
I apologize for nothing and f*** you for telling me I should
Groups are cool until you hit about seven people, after that they can get f*****
