Everyone’s fucked in their own version of reality, I say this dramatically because it’s a total calamity, we’re stuck in a trauma and victim mentality, struggling to embrace our true personality.
But the funny thing about personality is that it’s our personal reality, made-up of our beliefs in all their totality, see we´re all born with a distinct set of skills like Neeson in taken we fight for our thrills.
Still life is a game like GTA it’s X-rated and hard for all those that play, but it’s easier to run from cops everyday, than face up to yourself and live pure and straight.
But we get one life, one chance to succeed, to level up in the game and gain new XP. That’s a reference there for all my nerds listening those who spent many hours online gaming
Cause it’s true, life is just a role-playing game with skills and quests that drive you insane, and your name, is chosen at birth by your parents who just don’t know the worth, of having a name like noob killer the third.
But back now from this nerdy digression this is supposed to be serious now no more messing, Cos it’s a blessing to be alive at a time when the average person has more chance of dying
Of obesity than war or starvation
See we´re two generations from the Second World War and three from the one before that. If we talk about Britain 12% died but that’s nothing compared to the Russian side and the Jews that were victims of mass genocide.
To put in perspective, I can’t quite comprehend saying goodbye to one in eight friends and even those who lived till the end would come back as damaged and traumatised men
And those who were the ones that were sent away but what about those that were left to stay just waiting and praying for a future D-Day.
You see this is our history and lest we forget that many who are living still feel the effects from a generation who suffered unthinkable stress. A generation who shutdown their emotions and feelings with poor access to help or psychological healing
They had to stay tough and hold it together and suffer in silence forever and ever. Society was left in smouldering remains the fragments of lives and a global pain
And that was the aftermath of the two world wars, without even mentioning what happened before many hundred years of slavery and even more, examples of colonialism genocide and war
What we need is an understanding of the wrongs that were done, some grievance and repentance so we began to move on.
I say this today from my position of privilege as a white hetero man who’s Irish and British coz I envisage it change and a mass healing, of the sins that are committed and passed on within
But to heal is to accept, to process and grieve, to face up to the truth and change your beliefs
Cos ignorance is bliss till you´re hit with the facts and as the truth bomb explodes as your world collapses
And you enter a state of turmoil
And turmoil is where we’re at today on the precipice of evolution and everlasting change.
The old world is gone and as we enter a new age, we now have the chance to start a fresh page.
