Wake Up, Damnit!

Well, ok. Boy, oh boy. I'm gonna alienate some people with this post.

I want to preclude this writing with the notice to all that I am not, by any means, a politically-inspired person. As a matter of fact, I think politics have become as bastardized and masticized as a cancer that organized religion has become over the years.

If I vote, I vote for the person based upon my carefully inspired intuition of the person, then his or her platform and then the reality of that platform being realized. In other words, I think for myself.

This is the problem that I have right now. Society is basically a collaborative think tank of fucktards without a cerebral cortex. I don't say this because a certain party or canditate won an election. No, I say this because people can't determine shit from shinola (to paraphrase a term from the classic movie, 'The Jerk'.)

What I'm writing about goes deeper than politics and elections. What I'm espousing is the idea that.... no, no... it's not an idea, it's a fact... that people have lost their sense of self. They have surrendered their choices and knowing to those who can sway them via smooth talk and promises.
This isn't applicable to only politics. It holds true in the workplace, in line at the supermarket, in your house of worship (gulp) and even in the home.

People surrender to another's voice if it is loud enough, carries even a hint of weight or signs a paycheck. People seem to have forgotten their own worth and that their voice matters. A person has a thought, it matters. No one can take a belief from another unless the person allows it to be taken.

Everyday, people surrender themselves and their self-worth to another's opinion or belief. Everyday, people follow orders despite their own objections and inner knowing that what they are following is wrong.

Why? Really, why? Who do you answer to? The guy in the suit? The man in the robe? The person who makes a law? No, you answer to yourself. Because only you as an individual knows you, the individual. No one controls you. despite what you read and hear.

I'm both sad and dismayed that so many follow something or someone other than their own inner knowing. Trust me, the ones who control your thoughts and actions, buying and spending, voting and aggressions, know this. Not because they are enlightened, but because they see weakness.

I'll say it without reservation, I get pissed off and ass-chapped when I see people bitching about election results or something else that they disagree with but only post fucky comments on Facebook to elaborate. The same with 'Save the Animals' or 'Save the Children in Africa.'.... Nice sentiments, but woohoo..  eat your Cheetos and pet your cat while you type it...

There is no incination to act on injustices any longer. We, as a society, have decided it is easier to post a remark and hope it resounds other than act and respond without fear of retribution.

Lose a friend. Hell, lose 100 friends... if that is the cost of helping mankind.. or even your own fucked up government, then do it. You arrived in this world alone (unless you have a Siamese twin (conjoined if you're PC)), you'll go out alone. But, what you do between those times makes a difference. Not only for you, but for every life you impact. And, trust me, you have no idea the number of lives you impact... even on a daily basis.

This may seem more like a rant from my other blog, but this is a plea for people to sit down, shut up and listen. Listen to your inner self and what your intuition tells you. Those aren't crazy voices in your head. Turn off the TV. Stop reading the dumbass news stories that only show the negative. You aren't made to hold the negative within you... you are made to hold the light, the positive, and share it.

The idiocy of this world will pass and the dumbasses will fall, but, you don't have to follow. Lead... and lead with passion. This life and your reality belong to you, not a talking head or (gasp) a politician.

Namaste and holy shit.
