“I find in me a desire, a dream for something more. Something not part of the dreary existential zombie-life so dear to us all… I realize that I’m thinking thoughts society would label as repressed anger, or perhaps misplaced anxiety, or just plain rebellion. Well, I’m tired of the lies the world feeds me. I’m upset with the food chain, because I, you and me, we’re at the bottom. We’re living a life, working towards misplaced goals, missing the point, completely oblivious to the bigger picture. I’m sick of people without guts, without the balls to stand up straight and do what they should. I’m sick of people making excuses. I’m sick of the selfish, money-centered mindset everyone is so comfortable with. An eye for an eye? Yeah, that sounds about right.
And yes, I am anxious and rebellious. I want a revolution! I want excitement! I want something more. I want every man to pick up his weapons, paint himself with war paint, and start fighting. I want every woman to stop hiding behind their pretty faces and start believing that they’re worth more, that they can be more, that there is something more! I want to dream dreams and see visions of who we’re supposed to be. I want to see a change of heart. I want to feel that fire consuming me, making me come alive, burning the veils from my eyes so I can see my path.
Because now, all I see is the decay everywhere. In government and economics, in families, in friendships. I see the disease so evident in the elderly, in children and middle aged men and women, the disease so unique to humanity. I see the darkness in the eyes of those around me. I know the darkness right here in my own heart… I’m judging the world by a measure I’m not willing to judge myself by. Does that sound familiar? Don’t we all do that?
Yet, there is this dream… This desire for more. So today, I choose. I choose a revolution!”
