As a child, I was spoiled and sheltered.I had everything a kid could want.As I entered into adulthood I became certain that we must craft our own good fortune. I'm also convinced that when privileged very early in life, having done naught to "earn" the soothing ease and comfort of contentment; that someday not only does the security of lucky chance run out, but unless we start livin' and doin' right real quick, we will be hurled into a gutter of spoiled food and pungent water, surrounded by darkness, death, disease and doubt.Reality comes at one hard and fast.
So if you owe the universe some contribution, then act now with passionate drive and painstaking awareness to answer the questions (or pay the debts) the world has asked of you…
That little voice in your head should lead the way…

Fear
I've become intolerant to intolerance, so maybe I'm just as hypocritical as the ignorant bigots who are making this country such a frightening place. Look out on Halloween, because the kid disguised as Jesus with Morality as his cape and Freedom as his hat, in reality is mass Hysterical Fear. Freedom??? Not really. Don't take my mind from the get go and then take my physical freedom as well for behaving a certain way in my own home. Every form of freedom is at risk in this country.
The phenomenon begins as children in America are swept into the wind of hysteria and will never know why they believe what they believe.Their mind and their ability to think for themselves are long gone. It is very similar to, dare I say it ,mind control. So before they hit puberty they are conformist, "morally correct" youngsters that never had a chance.They don't need to be arrested for any socially incorrect violation;they are already in jail. If they disagree with another groups beliefs,it is usually going to be in the name of Jesus, freedom or morality and you are going to Hell if you dare dissent from their belief " you evil unpatriotic heathen..."
I remember an example of how this manipulative fear driven tactic worked to keep me held prisoner for a long time. As a kid I used to hate Ted Kennedy because I heard from trusted adults that he was a terrible person not to be trusted. I've known the term Chappaquiddick since I was very young. Whenever Kennedy got up to fight the good fight for equal rights or healthcare, there was mass hysteria and his views could be dismissed with two words, liberal and Chappaquiddick. I formed an early belief based on hysteria. Yes,Teddy had his issues,but I could have seen the man more clearly without the hysterical blindness which overcame me.
I certainly can see how the hysteria fooled me with it's moral, proper disguise. Fear took over, I lost my abilty to reason,and I was quick to judge.I wanted to be on God's side. I felt Ted was evil. I know now that despite his personal mistakes, he was a voice for the oppressed and that he was a compassionate man. I am still fooled now and again by clever disguises, but reality is a friend of mine and by looking through reality's viewpoint I can see the truth alot better these days. Even if the truth is tragic and makes me sad and angry,at least I can form my own opinion based on truth instead of fear.
The fact alone, that some (you know who you are,or maybe you don't because you can't see through the lie) rely on hysteria and fear to drive their collective agenda,is enough to understand that they are fundamentally misguided. Most people will be fooled forever,unless they can break out of the prison of hysterical fear they were blindsided with as a younger person. Some won't break the chains until they reach what appears to be God at the pearly gates.
Until he takes off his disguise...
