An Insatiable Appetite

The human ego has an insatiable appetite. It absolutely craves control. It devours every opportunity to be right. A sense of superiority is what it most desires. Its specialties are manipulation, distortion, and coercion, especially unto itself. The ego relishes every opportunity to be a hero and to be seen…

Role Play

Why do we role play? Why do we appease? Why must we be so controlled by what we feel about what others may think? Especially friends and family! It is a disease! So much so, that we actually defend belief structures that don't even belong to us for the sake…

The Enigmatic Paradox

In the enigmatic paradox of choosing to be position-less, I am left frustrated and laughing at the absurdity of my reflection in the mirror of existence. As much as I aspire to be, I can not choose to be of non-position. This is why it has been scribed by the…

The Wise Ones

Intellectually AWOL

Don't thank me for my service. I didn't do anything to protect your "freedom". But, if you're interested, I'll tell you what I did do. I went to boot camp, put on a uniform, sang the songs, and fully immersed myself in an eighteen-month long education of the inner workings…

Patriotic Perversions

Those in power have no remorse in killing a few million of its own in the name of profit and control. They are well aware that the death of a relative will inspire hate, revenge, and fuel division. We react to a war we think we are fighting for a…
