Bio"When I see an adult on a bicycle, I do not despair for the future of the human race." --H.G. Wells
This is what I believe to hold true for myself -
that i am more than what i am told i am, or led to believe. no one, not even myself, will understand my potential fully. if i were to understand my limits, then i would have reached them, and my life would be meaningless. i must always be moving. i will guide myself by the stars at night. i will survive by the land provided to us. that, in a world where process and pattern is a certainty, i will break free of such circumstance. that my understanding of other people, and my ability to connect with their emotions, is dependant upon my connection to the real world. not the world we view through our protective screens. the safety we are provided by the systems we are tossed into is an illusion, designed to conform us to function better. that society is necessary, and revolution is even more necessary. that in half a century, in the history books, our capitalist society will not be considered a renessaince of any sorts. but instead, will be written of like squandered oppurtunity. our malls will be the villains in children's story books. your $120 shoes will be the cement with which you drowned yourself.
for i believe that we are born into this world with oppurtunities. but we must look under that rock in our backyards to find them. we need to start learning for ourselves, for if indeed we do not, we will all surely die before we have begun to live.
