Times like these...

Is times like these that makes the real "me" come out and put a boot right up my ... well you know where... I'm getting really used to it... it kinda feels like home.

Today, the most lonly day of them all. The more people I meet, the bigger becomes the emptiness inside...

Where are the people that usually suround us cheerfuly? Have they ever been there at all, I wonder...


This brings up a rather interesting subject... what is real?

Am I real? Are you? Whatever you look upon...

How can I be positively sure that I'm not part of someone's dream, that I'm not a product of someone's imagination, or perhaps, even my own...

Many people might dislike the movie "The Matrix", but since it came out I've identified it immediately with society (like most some people have, I hope). I mean... Let's not have the robbots taking over Human Kind and using us as living batteries (ROTFL), but instead having ourselves, the creators, the cradle of pure and raw uncounscienceness rebels.

The point here is not can you believe it, but would you?

Is it not safer to live by the thought that you are not responsible for your actions and destiny?
Descarding all responsability, which makes us alive and, and have some supernatural being handling it for us... Ridiculous if you ask me.

However, do not let yourself into believing that I'm actually making any sense here.

Loneliness its living proof that nothing matters...
Meaning? NOTHING, is it!
YES!

Now, seriously... and lets not try to be a bunch of smartasses here...

What happens if you insult someone?
If you kick some dude in the balls?
If you have money?

Tell me exactly what is the point of having society liking you?

Why shall I:

 - Not smoke (tobbaco, weed, whatever...)?
 - Not drink alcoholic beverages?
 - Not have sex whith who and how many people I want?
 - Not use abusive and insulting language?
 - Go to College (University)?
 - Have a good job (or a job at all)?
 - Own a car?
 - Get married and build up a family?
 - Be accepted by society?

What is the point exactly?
What are we living for? For WHO are we living?

Well, of course, if fitting in, and living so others can compliment you is what makes you happy, by all means... go ahead!

Though, if I rather be homeless than have to put up with your sacred society's rules, please, for the love of whatever is immportant to you, leave me alone, don't judge me for being an individual...

As always I doubt that someone will EVER understand what I've been writting... or saying... However, if you were brave enough to read the all thing through. Well, good for you.

Cheers

My dear friend, you are not alone.

There are more people thinking like you than you can imagine. Its just that many have accepted this "Matrix".

I think you can understand that it's easier to accept it all and play the game, rather than trying to find truth and awareness.

The path to awareness and seeing things for what they are, without being distorted or fantasized by ego misperceptions or interests, is a path that if you knew what would take to get there it would take great courage to step forward and walk it. But those who do, do it without knowing what lies beyond. It lies great sorrow. It lies great pain. Great confusion. But I believe that it's all worth it when you FEEL the truth. When you SEE. Because we see.... but we do not SEE.

I'm a mess myself some days, and it seems that sometimes everything around me seems hopless and lost, but the more I live and the more I experience feelings (of all sorts), and relationships (either to other persons, animals and the planet), the more it becomes easier to know.... know that everything will be ok. There's nothing we should worry about...because there is nothing to worry about. What it seems to be something to worry about, it's only a very tiny, and usually misperception, point of view of the ego in relation to what surrounds this body that we carry around.

You are not alone..
