It’s a crazy world out there. Many would say that this world, this society that we live in is the craziest that they have ever seen. How old are they? The world is and has always been a crazy place. To us as humans anyway. Even though… there are times when I have seen animals that can looked just as shocked and amazed at things as we do.
We will never know it all. The newest, craziest thing to one person has been seen a million times by another.
I see a lot of people going crazy lately. Hearing voices. Looking dazed. Acting out. I think I say what the fuck about twenty times a day. I myself have had my own issues with crazy the last couple years. Watched it lurking in the shadows, in corners. Breathing down my neck threatening with ominous whispers from the back of the inside of my head…. You can see it coming no?
There is a way to pull it back. To stop the madness.
Foundations.
Foundations that you know are very real and very there. Whatever bullshit the world may throw at you. Whatever the world may say is fake or not real. Whatever they say. You know what a foundation is. You know what little thing lies in your mind that keeps you. Keeps you from floating out to sea into an endless dark abyss.
Is it a memory? A house? A place? Some person in or lost in time? A prayer. A note. A text.
These are the small life lines. Those strands of the huge web that holds everything together, not just ones mind. If you go crazy it may very well affect way more people than just you… A pebble dropped into a large spider web…
In the immortal words of old folks everywhere…. “these times they are a changin…”
Yes they are. Faster than they ever have before. That is true. Our children cannot keep up. They think they can, they think they are, but they are not. I believe we are at a great moment where one generation must absolutely take responsibility for the destruction of another.
And while they stand on ledges to take photos someone, anyone will look at. While they play suicide games online with no one noticing until they die. While they bare their breasts and run naked in the streets. While they scream “Look At Me Mom!!” and keep doing crazier and crazier things. This does tend to make the world a little bit more of a crazy place…
And still, no matter what they do, we still cannot be impressed. We still cannot look their way except in aggravation and disdain. So, yeah, the world will probably get crazier. At least for a bit. I mean, what do they have to do man? Jumping off of buildings and killing random people just must not be enough… I think I might be rambling a bit… It’s not just the kids doing crazy things everywhere. Lot’s of people seem to be… off a little to say the least.
We’ve taken a bunch of humans who were already stressed and running on the mouse wheel of life and sped them up. Demanded more. Taken more time. Made the entire human race run much faster than before.
We are running in the stress test of our lives here… He who survives and all…
Don’t go crazy out there. Hang on. Hang on to something that will never go away. With me it is God. No matter what, He will never go away and I know it. It keeps me sane. Through all the Trumps and wars, general bullshit and nuclear armament… I know God is with me. And when there is some little snigger of a doubt, I smash it. I will not entertain it because it is not necessary for me to do so. It is necessary for me to stay sane.
Run away from the darkness. Now is not a time to fuck around. Those times are gone. Curiosity is not a virtue at this time. When you see or feel or hear that darkness. That subtle snakery, creeping… do not feed it. Do Not Feed It. Go wash dishes. Clean. Rake the yard. Do something physical and positive and focus… focus on what keeps you sane and never vary. Never question.
Keep what keeps you sane safe. That is true.
“Be in this world, not of this world”… Keep your heads together friends.
Good night.
