The last century bred existentialism, totalitarianism and corporatism. Nihilism pervaded. Emotion was futile, politics was all, divorce and breakdown were rife. From Stalin to Sartre, cycnicism thrived. And humanity was a lost project..
And I'm sick of "it". Sick of devaluing human aspiration and human interiority. Even my parents, God love 'em, tried far too hard to protect me: from failure, from emotional bondage, psychological turmoil in work, school and relationships. Over my short life, I've heard every species of caution and fear: 'This subject isn't for you'; 'You should study X'; 'You need this job'; 'That's the way of things'; 'You have to play the game'; 'Forget that girl. There are other fish in the sea'.
Well, F***& "IT"! We could have other plans.
So I want to take a stand, for others' sake as well as my own. My own sake doesn't seem to matter in isolation any longer. I urge you to follow your dreams. I encourage you to put it all on the line. Near enough is not good enough, was never any definition of 'Good'. I hope you fight for what and whom you believe in. Don't give in to solipsism, darkness, madness, escape.
Life, Love and Liberty. You and I can stand for them all.....
