Purpose, reason and meaning. Do we all have it? Do we all even understand them? What they mean, to everyone, to us. How they shape and form us? Where does our humanity lie when we have no reason, no purpose and no meaning?
We make our own. We give ourselves reason, we create our purpose, we mold our meanings.
There is so much unrest, anger, boredom and wonder. I'm from the UK & I live in a big city. You can feel the unease in the air. Sense it in everyone's words. They are on the verge of something catastrophic, we all know change is afoot. We've changed, humanity and mankind has, it's our laws and societies that have become stuck, out of place and misinterpreted. We live lives of fiction. We spend our money on luxuries we are told are the next big thing. We're taught to believe we can achieve anything. Free speech and whatever. It seems damn evident this is not enough. Though what people don't realize is that even if they go out, break a law or two, steal something, it's a temperamental fix. You taste one bite of a large bar of chocolate and if you like it, you'll want more. You'll then want another bar, you'll want more and more until you get sick, until you can't stand it, and then you'll have something else to indulge in, you'll search for it, quest to find that satisfaction. And when you cant and WILL NOT find it you'll be angry, frustrated, upset and down right feel cheated.
It's not a hero we need, it's not an example we need to have made, it's not a wound that will heal. This is a thirst that will not be quenched. This is a hunger than we cannot remedy. Why? Well because these people are not even sure what they do want themselves. They don't know, they can't know, they perhaps never will know. And maybe some of them, know this. You let a domestic dog go free into the wild and they'll search for humans at first, someone to provide for them, to satisfy them, when they can't find that or get that they'll search for it themselves, the ebst way they know how, track and hunt it down, bite and break the neck of their prey, feed that hunger inside of them to last them, just for the night, then the next night they'll be at it again. But that dog will never find what it wants, because it wants what it cannot have because it has crossed that line, it has become something else it's not longer the friendly 'dog' you picture, it's an animal, and it out to try stay alive. When you bring that back inside it doesn't know of the sheer simpleness of the existence, the damn irony of waste and pompousness of luxury.
You want money? You work for it. Or, you steal it, you rob it, you fake it. It's the input, the effort required. You cannot argue that as a species we are lazy, look at what we have invented to keep us on our arse's? It's even proven, though not understood, that people who stand upright more in their lives live longer. We want simple pleasures, but we are not prepared to do complicated things in order to get them, we've created webs of institutions and infrastructure that has led to many being eclipsed, forgotten about and pushed aside. If you felt that would you sit around until you died?
There is no message, there is no vendetta or motivation. There is only CHAOS.

The Release
Let go. Let loose. Be free. Feel free. Break Free. Soar high.
We are all so restricted. But why? The greatest opposition to our plans, to our dreams and desires is more often than not, ourselves. We hold ourselves back. We stand in our own way. We sabotage ourselves. Fear, regret, hesitation, second though. Sure there's are pretty much evolutionary and taught to us and our minds, but the gift of being such an intelligent species is also a curse.
We doubt.
Doubt ourselves, others, the world. Pessimism? Some would ray they are just being realistic, well how about you be surreal? Unreal? Our age of science and technology has stunted our imagination of what we CAN do, let alone could do. We've lost our motivation to do the unconventional, or perhaps we've lost our nerve.
I'm not calling you a coward or anything, how can I when it's basically been hardwired into our very design and upbringing? It's natural.
But why can't you, you and anyone else, everyone else, just let go...
What a chaotic, dangerous, reckless, stupid, irresponsible thing huh? It'd also be beautiful.
Freedom is a tricky concept of today. Is to be free to live a life with rules and laws that are not your own? Sure it makes living easy and simple for the species that is vastly becoming overcrowded and outgrowing it's entire planet. But is it right? Is it best? Look at yourself, look at anyone, they are unique, they are themselves, and no one will ever come close to being them, not even a twin, nor a clone. They will not live the same life nor will they be the same person. Every tiny insignificant moment of your silly little life will shape you in ways you cannot fathom.
Anarchy? Maybe, but I'm purposing a simple idea nor ideal to have people 'let go' and 'be free'. What I'm purposing is those little victories. Hate your job, quit your job then, that sort of thing. Claiming back some of... our 'soul'. The Human spirit is such a strong thing, but it's not dedicated, we have to maintain it and fuel it. We've all had days where we would feel we have accomplished nothing, but think of your every breath, your every tiny movement, each word and action carried out, millions of years in the making. You are capable of so much but that doesn't mean the very BASIC things should be overlooked, the fact you're breathing is such a rare thing. Think of the odds of your very being, your entire existence and then breathe, a nice deep slow breath, it could even be your last.
All the sadness and frustration of our lives, the time we spend crying, feeling sorry and regretting, all the time we think about what we've done and the hurt and pain. I'm not saying this time is wasted, not at all. It's what makes us human and what makes us bear the life we lead. To live a life without mistake is to not 'live' at all. Failure is a part of life, it's a design of life, to learn, adapt and grow stronger. But to simply dwell, to simply be all that, to be nothing but... cold and lost, it's a choice, because for however sad and horrific life can be there is that capacity within us all to... let go.
Relish the sense of being lost, take pride in the fact we're so tiny on such a small planet in an ever growing universe. Our world, our reality, remember that it's OURS, and your life is YOURS. No one can control it nor dictate it. You are not the autonomous construct you feel like you are.
Feel the wind and let the thoughts drift away, the emotions holding you down and pinning you to the ground, they can be overcome, they can be bent, even broken. What we see, what we hear, the mind believes. But we have more control of our mind than we give ourselves credit for. The very myth that we only use 10% of our brain capacity. Well think of it like this, we only really use about 10% of our life capacity. Think of all you could do, all you CAN do.
Oblivion, we're drifting at almost uncomprehendable speeds, dwarfed by our surroundings and enveloped in such a darkness. We just don't realise the brightest of our light, each of us.
Despite everything i've said sounding very free live and perhaps even 'hippy' like, thanks for reading upto this point. I don't claim any idea as my own, I don't see why anyone should claim anything. But my ideals and perspective is simply shaped from my own life, how I've lived it up to now and what had occurred within it. I'm not trying to conform to any sort of restricting belief or faith. Nor you so called sciences. My premise is simple, most likely to many it would be horrific and plainly even boring. It's also not my place to share it. How I see things will never be seen the same way again, even if I was cloned or time traveled or had a twin, the tiniest subtle difference would make the entire thing, different. It's why I can say that each and every one of you is beautiful, no matter how you look, what you believe or what you do.
Sorry for getting a bit.. personal. I know I post usually on general ideas, theories and simple thought. So feels odd to... share. I'm the 'bottle it up' "TYPE".
If you take anything away from this rant, it could be this;
Sit back, ease your shoulders and straighten your back, lift your head slightly, close your eyes, breathe in through your nose very slowly and until you can breathe in no more, then just slowly...let it go.
