The Truth Is What You Cannot Deny

Is the truth really what you want?

Would you rather get wasted, or work three jobs to send money to starving children in Africa?
Would you rather discuss serious societal issues, or play beer pong?
Would you rather drive 70 miles an hour on the da freeway bumpin to your favorite tunes, or speak out against global warming?
Would you rather be one of the in crowd, or be on the outside looking it?
Would you rather be in capitalist heaven (on television), or capitalist hell (in an unsanitary diseased hut in Africa)?
Would you rather be born in America or Africa?
Do you realize a dumpster in America could feed an entire village in Africa?
Do you realize millions of chickens, cows, pigs, and trees are slaughtered in cold blood to feed the human economical machine?
Do you care?
Do you hear the pain in screams of ravaged women and bone-thin children?
Do you hold the weight of the world on your shoulders?
Do you live life like a dream?
Do you think everything happens for a reason?
What about all the suffering? What reason is there for that?


The truth is what you choose to focus your experience upon. Right now people are dying in masse, because of hunger and curable diseases- but how does that affect you right? It's not your responsibility to save anyone, is it?

The New Enlightenment shall come with the emergence of groups not afraid to confront the darkness of reality. To conquer this evil we must penetrate the depth of our shadows- shining light on the suffering of all.
