“First of all, do any of you here think it’s a crime to help a suffering human end his agony? Any of you think it is? Say so right now. Well, then, what are we doing here?” Jack Kevorkian during his court trial.
It’s quickly becoming clear to me that being someone of somewhat elevated intelligence, no matter if you’re male or female, young or older or no matter your ethnicity, if you have human emotions, it’s quickly becoming obvious that you have no place in the current socio-political dystopia that surrounds us. Obviously that only pertains to us humans who still have feelings, the socio and psychopaths are quickly recruited into the elite institutions for their own purposes.
This poses a problem for us who still exhibit some human traits like empathy, the ability to love, care for our children and aren’t looking to screw over anyone who comes within our social arena.
“Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other’s eyes for an instant.” Henry David Thoreau
If you’ve been exposed to this paradigm as long as I have, it’s complete agony to even go out in a social venue and witness what surrounds you. The insipid conversations, the women who look at you with the “doe in the headlights” look if you say anything remotely intelligent and the stratification you feel anytime you are in a social situation no matter how charming or charismatic you might be.
It’s complete agony. And, given that I live on a little isolated island with an affluent population, it’s probably best that I don’t socialize much with the people here. They are so spoiled by their status and are unapologetic consumers of mainstream media culture. It’s gotten to the point where I don’t have much choice but to look upon them with contempt. They are emotionless, status driven, narcissistic and completely unable to connect with anyone including the people they call their friends. Everything is superficial including their supposed intimate relationships.
Fucking makes me sad and the agony permeates my soul. But, no one cares about that shit anymore, making true human connections have become something to be suspect of like I’ve heard multiple times, “You’ve got real friends? People you would die for?”.
Hell yes.
Unfortunately, my real friends are spread all over the country and the world. Men and women who know I’ve got their back and I know they’ve got mine. There’s nothing like the understanding that like minded individuals share; even though I might be here alone in my little isolated area, they are just a phone call away. You all know who you are so I’m not going to include a list, you all know I’ve got your back. Personally, if it wasn’t for this group of people, I have no idea where I would be today. It quickly becomes very lonely if you are surrounded by individuals who have no understanding of what you know and have seen throughout your travels in life. When you don’t put up with the average person’s bullshit and call them out on it, you quickly become persona non grata.
The majority of average people have no regard or awareness that you might care or know enough about them to try to help them out. That’s how you become a pariah.
I think that’s why we as a group make sure we get together at least twice a year. We would probably go insane if we didn’t.
It’s going to be a great time.
