What you have there is a quaint little theory. A very predictable one as well. But unfortunately theory is useless in the hands of impotence. Talk is cheap.. Its so fucking cheap its unbelievable. For instance, I could say "I AM KING OF THE WORLD!", but unfortunately just saying that doesnt make it actually true. I could also say "I AM MORE ENLIGHTENED THAN YOU ARE!" and again, its still bullshit because its just a fucking act. Its fake. Its an artifice used in the attempt to accumulate personal feelings at the expense of others. The feeling of self-importance is what dominates society. It indoctrinates everyone into the scheme, and rules them until the day they die.
Action is the only thing that counts in the real world. Theorize in one hand, take a shit in the other and see which one fills up first. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "seekliberation" <seekliberation@...> wrote: > > I'd have to say I agree with this 'special' mentality that is rampant in > America.
