am i really so delusional? are my thoughts and ideas really so complex that they become next to impossible? am i really alone in this? i mean, the process would be simple with little thought or effort. and yes, there might be some money involved... yeah... you see...i hesitate to go forward from here realizing the word ‘money’ well, it’s a show stopper because that’s really where the truth lies isn’t it? but you see... i have to travel down streets everyday and see veterans standing on street corners begging for money lying to get money, because that’s the only way most will ‘donate’ to them even though, we all know the money’s not for food or medicine it’s for the drug of their choice. the one that makes them forget they have to beg us for money and watch us drive by ignoring the horrors they have seen. we are the generation of fast food, quickie lubes, one hour this and one hour that. we have momentary purposes, a need for quick resolution and once sated, we discard and we have learned to desensitize ourselves to the point it has become the natural way of life and we don’t even realize we’re doing it. we allow this. there are children living on the streets, suffering abuse and seeing things worse than any veteran. there are people who actually have decided they will never have children because ‘this world has become such a bad place.’ read that again. think about that. we are allowing this. we are allowing this. i mean, the process would be simple with little thought or effort. they say it’s a dog eat dog world – survival of the fittest – they’ve forgotten... we are not animals we evolved from that learned to overcome we’re just forgetting. we are allowing this. we are allowing this. the process would be really simple with little thought or effort. remember your human.Birth sign: Virgo
