They take us in the beginning, in the middle, and at the end of our lives, and force us to deal with their mindless fascist bullshit, that keeps trying to destroy the luminous beauty of life everywhere it can and wherever we allow it to do that to us, because we have lost the courage to resist.
It doesn't matter that 90% of the people in the world are stone cold asleep to the fact that our lives are being picked off by the parasites, one by one, at the same time, so many of the little ones are being betrayed by the blindness of adults who can no longer see with the innocent eyes of the spirit.
Love is blue as can be, because the time that we should be giving to communing about meaningful things like love, beauty and truth, is stolen from us, and that is a crime as are all the deaths that are happening now. Each of them are a murderous crime and mortal sin.
This means that instead of being able to give our time and trust to each other, most of what we have left to offer is suffering and dislocation that we shouldn't have to be living with.. except that we've let the parasites devour our spirits for so long, that there's nothing left at the bottom of the barrel but pain.
Here's a little rehabilitation for you to start off with:
Billy Strayhorn's version of his own song "Lush Life" and below that, John Coltrane doing an extended interpretation of the same song.
There's so much there, and if you let yourself, you'll be able to feel what it is, assuming you're not too distracted with the bullshit of pretending that the bullshit is not there.
It's hard to know what to say anymore. We've had 2.5 years to figure things out, but the true conspiracy - which is the "conspiracy of silence," only continues.
Fortunately, it's never too late to reclaim your freedom. Your show is about to begin anew, just as it does everyday, waiting for you to take over as the Director, or the Playwright, or the lead Actor, or as the Music Director, any of whom can do whatever they want, to breathe some life back into this dumb dud of a sitcom.
Just don't sit there wallowing in the sea of regret and pretending that nothing matters, and that'll all be ok.. because guess what? That's not how it works, not this late in the game.
