I'm raging against the chains of mankind's fear.
I hate that mankind fears what it doesn't understand. Fears what we have forgotten how to understand and destroy because we fear it and cannot remake it in our image, as religion and society have brainwashed us to believe is our right as the chosen of god's creations.
We were once all brothers. All of us. Regardless of race, gender or species.
Once, we all knew eachother and in knowing all our ways we feared and destroyed that which we didn't understand then too I'm sure, but we knew enough to give back what we took. Attacking only that which threatened to destroy us. Now it is we that destroy. Now it is we who should be destroyed. Yet only because we are like children left to grow up alone with no-one to teach us better because we have forgotten how to listen. So much power. So much ignorance.
The Aboriginals used to fish with the Dolphins. They called the dolphins by striking a code on the wavetops or sand with their spears and the dolphins came herding the fish before them. They were repaid with the best of the catch as thanks. Each had a "brother" animal. A spirit animal they formed a connection with. These codes and practices were passed on generation to generation by both species and each learnt to understand and appreciate the other.
Until a couple of hundred years ago.
What do you know... the same trait in every native culture until the White arrived. Until greed and self preservation personified took form in "White Devils". Until Religion became the altar at which decency and the true purpose of humanity was sacrificed in the name of Power.
Today we learn by force. Catch. Break. Tame. Train. Balance is forgotten and greed consumes all. Slowly we have all become the same devil inside.
How can we hope when we are the very cause of loss?
How do I hope when everything I love about my world I know as the result of the cause of my despair?
To find balance I must show balance. To show balance I must understand balance. To lead I must be a part of but seperate. To suceed I must be all that I am but less. I know no peace. I know no release. I only know the abomination of natural order and chaos in which I exist and the constant struggle to replace the peace of knowing my place in the world, and fullfilling it, with the fragile peace of petty accomplishment that all selfish walks of life in our society blinds themselves with after acheiving the meaningless satisfaction of securing their future.
Selfishness begets disregard, begets disharmony, begets loss.
Loss begets fear, begets distance, begets uninterupted ignorance.
Ignorance ensures the pattern continues until all has changed for the worse and none can open their minds enough to realise that, with all our mighty dreams we dream the road to our own demise.
Emotions are Fuel, Insight the Body, Understanding is the Oil that keeps it working, Fear the Break, Love the Power and Protection the Purpose. This is how it is for me.
This is how I believe the world should be.
What good is power if it is weilded over a dead land and all there is to command are the seeds of destruction?
