Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream...
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream...

But a dream.


I have realized that this might be the last life for true freedom.

If I cannot reach my end now, then I may never reach it.

If humanity chooses the path of eternal peace through eradication of all beliefs but one, there will be no chance for people in the future to learn anything new.

If a soul cannot learn lessons, it cannot ascend.

It will decay, die, and return again futilly.

If this happens, humanity will remain in a stagnant existence until the very light of our existence is snuffed out, as the last breath of our life - the sun - dies.

You see, every choice we are given, when taken away, by law, by anything, it is another step towards that. Another step towards one idea, one thought, one existence, and no other.

Of course, right now we still have the choices. But what about the generations to come? Sooner or later humanity will perfect the ability to create minds that do not question the morality of the law. Sooner or later philosophy as we know it will die, unless we keep it alive. No one will question right and wrong, because even right and wrong will not exist. We will only have right, because that will be all that we know. Right of course, in the sense of the person who creates the right and teaches it. It's just like Brave New World.

It's funny, how some people when they read books like that...they say, "Absurd, Impossible."

So untrue.

In any case, it's an eternal cycle. If you say, "Eye for an eye" for your law, you end up saying the law's right is the right right, if a man defended his wife and killed another man who attempted to kill her, he would die too, by eye for an eye. And in reality, that's just another form of saying, "You're wrong, we're right. So sorry."

It really is a never-ending cycle. All of the ideals that we want, in the end, will lead right back to where we are. Unless of course EVERYONE simultaneously didn't want to harm another man in any way, and then we could have a world where people could do as they wanted. Cultivate any plants they wanted. Use any drugs they wanted. Even kill themselves if they really wanted too.

But we all know that will never happen, not unless the whole of humanity suddenly was enlightened by divine intervention. So in reality, you have one choice for eternal peace.

And that is the very thing that will cause the slow decay and ultimate death of the human soul and it's journey in learning. Maybe it would adapt to still teach lessons in the enviroment, but when the enviroment is controlled, no sense of chaos, how can that be...

Chaos, when looked upon in that sense, is not such a terrible thing. In fact it is beautiful.


I mean, I woke up this morning feeling that anxiety, that sadness, from nothing. Saddam is captured they say, oh, rejoice, we've captured the tyrant. Rejoice, in our imperialism. Rejoice, that we have eradicated a different way of life.

Another way of life, destroyed. You people think you're doing the world good. I'd rather see total anarchy in this entire rotting cesspool than see another way of life destroyed with 'good intentions'. At least in total anarchy people have a choice. At least they aren't supressed and told they are wrong. True, maybe many people will die for no reason at all, but at least everyone who is alive would have a choice, to be who they want to be, when they want to be, before they die.

Go fuck yourself America.

if you haven't already, you need to read "The Giver"
it discusses a society with very little in the way of choices.
of course, i'd like to think that chaos will reign supreme and that will not be allowed to happen

I read that back when I was in fifth grade I think.

I thought it was a really good but sad book.

-nods- Chaos is required in the balance, just as order is. The balance is only beautiful when both exist in harmony.
