The Power To Change

If I had the power to change anything in the world, I wouldn't do a thing. Because it's not my responsibility. And when I say that, I mean it in a surrendered, but realistic, way. The problems the world faces are bigger than we think.

First off, why? Half of you think life is predestined. Some of you think you're in God's 24hr puppet show. Well, outside of LollipopSuperFuckingGreatLand, in reality, there is no plan. It's not predestined because we humans have the power of choice, which ranks up there with our cool ability to think about those choices beforehand. Plus, there is no God, and even if there is one, read the fucking book. He's usually the cause of disasters, not the hero. Kind of funny, huh? He'll help you off the sauce and then flood your city. That wacky deity.

Secondly, how will anyone learn the hard way if somebody else is always cleaning up after them? I'm so tired of talking to people who are comfortable taking financial risks or who live a dependant, inept life because they can call mom and dad to bail them out. These are the same assholes that think that just because they drop off a few shitty old shirts at the Goodwill or befriend a black person that they have done some type of civic duty. See, that is what the government and religions and the media have done to any true attempt to help humanity. They've dumbed it down for you.

Save the planet? Easy! Just throw some of your trash in a different dumpster, we'll recycle it. Don't buy these dangerous products. Instead, buy these "safe"ones. And don't forget to buy these pills to make you feel better. Drop off a couple sixty-cent cans of beans in the barrel to stomp out hunger. Buy more hip, useless shit painted red to wipe out AIDS. By a hat with a pink ribbon on it and consider breast cancer dead. Seriously, you people believe this shit? Do you even wonder where your money goes?

Now, I'm not downplaying the significance of these gestures. I'm merely pointing out that they give a false sense of actually helping something or someone to those who participate. These conscientious citizens are subconsciously convinced that helping others is a non-contact, minimal responsibility, no-sweat feat with Jesus' stamp of approval. And they blindly trust these organizations with their money. Worse than that, it reinforces the idea that people should get something in return or be rewarded for pulling their own weight in this organic machine. We have created a culture in which the "Drive Thru Convenience" mentality has been applied to helping our fellow man and maintaining the environment's health for our children.

Lastly, the planet is designed to maintain species and cycle them in and out of the eras at their own risk. It's a landlord that doesn't mind if you fuck the place up because everyone moves out eventually, plus the apartment has a self-cleaning feature.

If all the hungry get fed, all the diseased and blighted survive, and the old live longer, then there will be no place left for anything. Crops will be bled and then built on. Our precious nature preserves and golf courses will be sacrificed. You will be forced to sell your summer home and all restaurants with immediate seating will no longer function as such. Basically, there will be nothing here but healthy, co-dependant retards wandering around, eating all the goddamn food and fucking out of sheer boredom. It'll be college all over again.
