cynicism amy the joke of being unsurprised 981210 ... amor y nada ms is rapidly becoming en vogue and is beginning to penetrate blather. why? the world is not suited for mass despair; it is suited for mass joy and exhilaration. it's a beautiful world, with beautiful people, and although love does hurt sometimes, it's still the most wonderful thing we can experience; it's not a joke or a cruel prank. and we can experience it everyday if we merely open our hearts to the beauty and peace that are all around us... 000403 ... MollyGoLightly yay amor y nada! yay amor y nada! 000403 ... dB Mass joy? Like some kind of disease? People don't want to be happy! They don't want to see what is going on around them! People only want one thing, and one thing only! They want tomorrow to be pretty much the same as yesterday. They are so insecure, that they don't care what their situation as long as it doesn't change! People meander around the place talking about weather, pets, work, what was on TV last night or anything to stop themselves from becoming what they really are! Humans have a huge potential as a species, and yet all they do is trap themselves, or allow themselves to be trapped, and just "deal with it". They have set up this little regime, this system by wich things are done, and it has even taken their subconcience (which should be put to better use)!! You talk about Joy, Beauty and happiness as something that people will simply look at and acknowledge, and accept. They can't even do that! They see a thing, if they even bother to look up, and will not even notice it's presence! Even something amazingly huge and obvious and totally great, if it's not part of the hive mentality, if society says "hey, that doesn't belong here" they will not even SEE it! People have dug this hole for themselves. They will never get out. In summary; Humans, just don't even bother. 010305 ... mikey i like this word. 010306 ... peyton armor if unblemished, impenetrable please embrace me 010311 ... florescent light This is blather.
