You're either in or you're out
Self Indulgence. Its the name of the game.
I took a sobering walk through the mall today on my break. I went into all the stores i normally would, Glassons, Wild Pair, Life Pharmacy; and i walked out with nothing, nada, zilch.
My mind somehow now understands the insanity of currency. Somehow my eyes are opened to the truth.
I'm an idiot. A sucker to society.
I thought about getting a new concealer because i'm running out- But why? why do i care what people think? my skin is bad, mostly from over indulgence in over populized processed foods that continue to tempt.
A new dress could be nice. $50? really? thats 4 hours of work for a piece of mass produced cloth?
a walk through the supermarket isle, im embarrased. half the shit we dont need, we buy due to habit.
So many times y'know ive walked through the mall with money on hand that ive worked hard for with this strange impulsive expectation to buy something materialistic thats going to fill the void; to make me feel like yeah, i've lived. Yeah i keep up with the current trends, i have the newest perfume.
Whats wild to me is that people out there have already discovered this, years ago! people now even. Popular people. Michael Jackson, John Lennon, JFK, Shapeshifter, Jimi Hendrix, System of a Down.
Trying to tell us through music. Artists aswell, like Banksy.
Is it human nature that we rank eachother into status's, divide into classes, countries, cities, towns, suburbs, streets, religions, generations, age groups, social groups..
divide, divide, divide
Its sad that we did it to ourselves, misled ourselves into and inevitable self distruction through greed and possessions.
Theres so much that could be fixed, but the only thing that can do it is if every single person had unconditional love for every living thing in the world. scratch that, just everything in the world.
I used to be one of those people who'd think ha hippies, wild children, no clue. But they were the closest we ever got to fixing ourselves. Theres no other way out of this society were in, if you tried to leave it youd push yourself so far out that youre shunned from the world (i.e dont live by money live off the land dont work) even then, youd probably still have to pay for the land you live on. Taxes what the fuck for?
Right now im in limbo for thought. Trying to process everything.
Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
