Don't worry, you'll be voting Liberal and wearing cardigans in no time. And then you won't ever think about non-Church morality again. I think Churchill got it close when he said, "A young man who isn't socialist has no heart; an old man who isn't capitalist has no brains". The transition isn't going to be easy but you'll get used to it soon enough.

who cares if I am apathetic?

yeah.  actually now im wondering how it's possible to be simultaneously 'pathetic' and 'apathetic' when being both 'moral' and 'amoral' or 'political' and 'apolitical' are impossibilties. i mean it is clearly within your power despite the obvious contradiction. this could be worth millions! 

I don't want to spoil anything by adding some cynical words on futility, (because, after all, everything IS still a matter of choice), but I like do this writing and find it to be (brutally) honest.

"A young man who isn't socialist has no heart; an old man who isn't capitalist has no brains".

no brains?  or just no capital? 

no brains? or just no capital?

Thats exactly what I am talking about... In this forsaken world, if you don't have money, you don't have brains - according to the masses at least... yet to get money, you need to step all over the masses...



I like the quote, but the fact it came from a raving alcoholic (the Churchil one, not yours KB) instills a little faith in the middle ground!

here's one more suited to your mood i think: we make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.

When it doubt - always ask music. For todays particular answer - the credit must go to Incubus...

I'd like to close my eyes and go numb
but there's a cold wind coming from
the top of the highest high-rise today.
It's not a breeze cause' it blows hard.
Yes and it wants me to discard the humanity I know,
watch the warmth blow away.

So don't let the world bring you down.
Not everyone here is that fucked up and cold.
Remember why you came and while you're alive
experience the warmth before you grow old.

So do you think I should adhere to that pressing new frontier?
And leave in my wake a trail of fear
Or should I hold my head up high
and throw a wrench in spokes by
leaving the air behind me clear

So don't let the world bring you down.
Not everyone here is that fucked up and cold.
Remember why you came and while you're alive
experience the warmth before you grow.

So don't let the world bring you down.
Not everyone here is that fucked up and cold.
Remember why you came and while you're alive
experience the warmth before you grow old.

Before you grow old.
Where did it go?

Good Show... thanks for your comments guys

Ive lost faith in the human race a long time ago. But ive used my lack of faith (somehow) as a drive to change this world. I dont trust people but I want to help them. Sometimes I hate my life but I always want it to be worth something. I do it not for humans though, I do it for hope, hope that we can change, hope that things can turn around, hope that this planet can become better
Hope is futile. No expectations, no dissappointments
Abandon all hope and you abandon all life. If you trust no one, you set yourself up for a dissappointment

All your base

I definitely care about the goings on of everday issues....i read ...i watch..i listen....wanting to know every detail of what is going on and where....and yes, I do find myself wanting to help, and wishing I could do this and that....or wishing someone else would do something.
But, I, too, have those days when I throw my hands up in the air and think...what CAN be done?...How can it be resolved? When ARE things going to change?

All we can do is hope for the best.

"So don't let the world bring you down.
Not everyone here is that fucked up and cold."

Take that advice,  yo.  I'm sew'n that shit on a pillow. 

""If you trust no one, you set yourself up for a dissappointment"" 

You definately just contradicted yourself, bro.  That makes no sense.  If you DO trust anyone, you set yourself up for dissappointment.  So, I guess you lose either way, eh?

oh, by the way, nice title, very creative.

hehe - Thanks Trin... I want to get it on a T-Shirt... with one of these on it

It's all good... i had a good week this week, and the world may be pretty faaaarked, but yeah, some people are cool and specila - you are but one of them

"Some mornings I wake up, and I want to go and help land mine victims in Cambodia or something, but others I wake up and I just ask what the point of helping these people is? All it would do is open my eyes to further pain and suffering."

It's the same with love. When you love someone, the loss will be unbearable, oh no you don't want that to happen to you. But if you refuse to have any love in your life, what are you doing on earth in the first place???

Life’s wretched tow, Old Boy, is like the proverbial razor’s edge, straight & narrow & difficult to tread. A patrician such as you must endeavor to curl his bloody toes & hold on to the clichéd bitter end. When contemplating a potential peasant revolt in which patrician throats would be slit, I believe it was Disareli who said, “Faith in the obstinacy of the upper-class to relinquish its iron-fist grip is our only refuge, my dear Adam."

I say, a patrician soul such as yours, despairing & wobbling, why by Jove stiffen up, Old Boy: The world's your Oyster, your gift, and even whilst the wrapping paper of life is perhaps, at times, sour & displeasing to lick … I say, Old Boy, peel it away & like a pig ... dig deep & suck on the marrow of patrician entitlement. You deserve it. Find your copy of Macbeth; refer to Lord Shakespeare’s lyric: Out out brief candle ... Etc. For, indeed, what is a stage without a fretting player? A conversation with the village idiot, so I say, FRET & STRUT...

Throughout the history of mankind there have been many murderers and tyrants; and while it may seem momentarily that they have the upper hand, they have always fallen. -Ghandi
