Don’t Simply Blow Away

There comes a time when you must find your purpose. Not the one that is written in any text. Not the one that is counted by pieces of fiber and cotton. A real purpose-we cannot simply exist to follow the footprints in the sand and watch the waves wash them away.

 Our will is that of survival. But in order to survive one must create something that is worthy of that task. Steel crumbles over time. Wood burns to ashes and blows away. But words can lasts forever. Passed down orally, transformed digitally and shared forever.

Finding a cure for a disease will save lives, kindness spreads and knowledge enlightens all those that seek it. As we live in a world that is self- centered- artificial prophets arise for profits. Individuals are indoctrinated and baptized into toxic waters that drown all hopes of love and forgiveness.

Seek a life that is worthy. Not one that is full of judgment and demands the persecuting of others. Try to create something that will remain in this realm forever. Like flying in an X-Wing fighter and destroying the Death Star.

Imagine the possibilities not just success. Success is often only celebrated for a moment. A moment that is quickly covered by another moment- someone else has to shine below the lights, and have their run around the track. 

 Possibilities are endless. The world is in our hands. Our pockets- But who's world are you in?  Is it theirs? Or is it yours? I share mine. So share yours. Your possibilities are endless- mine have just begun. 

OBEY

We are taught to OBEY. No matter what subgroup of the world we decide to become involved with, there are rules. Rules that force us how to think, dress, or simply OBEY. 

Can such obedience be the reason our society is facing failure? Can this obedience only compound the problems we face? Obedience is important because it makes sure that there are no riots in the streets and that those in power remain in power.

As long as the individual OBEYS their party and falls in line, things remain the same. For example, a republican that hugs Obama and thanks him for working together during Sandy is not being obedient. He has challenged the structure and is now a sacrificial lamb for the party. Obedience even if it means failure seems to be the mantra in today's society.

My pants must sag to the ground because I must OBEY the culture.  I must stand in line to have the next Apple product and pledge my obedience. I must listen to a certain type of music in order to fulfill my obedience.   

Are we not capable enough to figure out that obedience has left us dull? It has started wars over the same figure just with a different name. Millions of lives have been erased and vanished because someone chose to OBEY.   

If we speak against the actions of our government and no longer OBEY will we be corralled in trains and sent to some prison camp? There are some that believe that this is so, but they forget that WE THE PEOPLE are the real driving force of this country, not those that we give credence to.

After we have been broken down by 12 years of mandated brainwashing, to only stumble into our first class of college one would think we could break free. But they program us even further. It is not until one becomes a master of their craft that they can break free from the chains of imperialism that still colonizes the mind.

We OBEY the new trends as they are ushered in by the media conglomerates. We OBEY trashy talk shows while we sleep around with so many people that a paternity test is needed. We OBEY social media while we check updates and make posts behind the wheel, putting others’ lives in jeopardy.

But this obedience is destroying us. It is dividing and eliminating free thought. Our free will has already been shackled, but will our ability to decide be lost as well?
