wolven7Prodigy - [Breathe]--- The main problems, i have, are that i try to 1) Prepare people for the Apocalypse/Massive Change in Perceptions/whatever, via teaching and 2) Bring about said A/M.C.P/W, via... well... Everything else. (Oingo Boingo - [Just Another Day]). People* don't get why i do it. People* are afraid of Change. People* are scared of what would happen if, tomorrow, everything were to suddenly be different... People* really need to realise the truth about the world: Change. Things Change, or they Die. I prefer change, personally... {* VNV Nation - [Carbon (instrumental)]--- Generalisation. People, as a group with individual Expections, as they arise. Take no personal offence... Unless you really want to, in which case, go right ahead. Have fun with that.}
Have you ever thought about, actually and honestly, what it would be like to grow wings? It would probably start with subtle changes in musculature, and bone structure, over the course of many years... Slow, subtle discomfort, and movements. You'd notice, perhaps, that your back muscles, and scapulai move in odd ways. Toward the actual sprouting, there would probably be a rash, on your back. A change in Skin Texture, and tiny downy hairs, in a diamond pattern, on your back. (Jack Off Jill - [American Made]). When the wings, themselves, started to Grow-- muscle, bone, tendon--- it would Hurt. A Lot. And it would Take a Very Long Time. It would kind of be like Birth. From your Back. Now, speed all of that up to an immediate, say ten-second-long event. You would go into shock, probably completely evacuating your waste systems. The loss of blood, alone, would put you unconscious. You might just Die. And that's growing wings. I drew a picture about it, once.
Akira - [Dolls' Polyphony]--- I think about these things, in case they ever happen. I think about what they would feel like (and i have a pretty damn good sensory imagination), so that, if it happens, i'll know what to expect, and perhaps brace myself against whatever it is. The same goes for Apocalyptic events, and regular, everyday things. I was a boyscout. They kind of drove that "Preparedness" thing home. So i wonder about these things, often. I wonder how others would adapt. And i realise that, without fore-warning, they wouldn't, too well. Sure some would. But some people would Freak out, and endanger everything else around them. (Suicidal Tendencies - [Institutionalized]). And this goes for new advancements in Tech, and Science, as well as anything spiritual... Which is why i can understand that.. Whoever... takes their time releasing the advancements we make...
But i'd still rather have the Truth. Totally. But, shit, people don't seem to want to Prepare. People don't want to work towards these discoveries, or these changes, or the global acceptance, there of. Weird Shit in small doses, why that's just peachy. A World of Weird Shit??? Heavens No. A World where the people who deal with this, on a daily basis, from the time they were little, a world where the math/music/whatever prodigies, are accepted as Special, wonderful, but not Freaks??? Why would we want that? (Voltaire - [The Night]). I mean, yeah, i can see the purpose behind keeping things Special, and Separate. I can see why that makes them as good as they are... But thee comes a time when you have to look at the state of things and make a choice...
I want people to Experience, see, feel the true nature of the world. Quarks, atoms, molecules, energy, mana, science magic, whatever. I want to see it happen. You know? I want them to be prepared if it ever happens, while they're not paying attention. i want them to Pay attention.
And maybe it's best to let these things run their course. Maybe the advancements we make, in the world, are meant to be incrimental. To build upon each other. Maybe. After all, everything takes forever, right? But maybe, at the same time, everything we do, in the world is meant to do exactly what we do. "I must've been meant to interfere, otherwise i couldn't have done it..." to quote Del...
Akira - [Winds Over The Neo Tokyo]---.................. Or maybe winamp's trying to tell me to shut up, cause we may all be one big nuclear waste, before long, anyway. Who knows. I make my choices. You make yours. Somewhere, down the road, i'm sure we'll meet up, again...
