Basic Truth

I believe we are on this planet for a purpose, a purpose that is undermined by the very people governing its functioning and order. We are taught if something worries you, if you disagree with something, you should work to change it. But what power does the individual really have in modern society? We are caught in a generic, material civilization, supplied with avarice and greed; run on gasoline, sex, and money. The word “religion” alone has been corrupted, the churches and religious orders rendered inaccurate through our own perversions. 

I believe this life is drastically less complex. If you can sit humbly and examine your heart, looking apart from money that dictates us, apart from time, space, and size. You begin to realize a much smaller vision. After all is said and done, we are all here together, and we must help protect the very nature of our being; life as a whole.  

In this basic form, we are so much in oneness with the world, no more worth do we hold than a grain of sand, a body of water, or a mighty oak tree. For we all share this planet. Any object or element at its smallest origin represents the wonder of creation. Madness is the fight to understand it. Although I strongly dismiss our purpose is to dress up our temporary bodies to look like a model and park a shiny car in a sixteen car garage.  

If we could only see life as a lesson, rather than a competition. 

Love is the most basic truth, the kind that creates happiness and contentment.
