Real shit, lil dog.

A friend of mines, Paul Kats, showed me this little piece that was written while trippin' balls on shrooms. I think its pretty spectacular:

Fucking hippies. Why do they have to make life look so good and so simple? When in fact, life is difficult and requires so much work. People like you and I—we’ve got it easy. We’ve got it easy because we’re selfish enough to not give a shit about important things like environmental protection and social development. If we did care about those things, we’d have a lot of work to do. Instead, we live off of our parents, go to school, and eventually get jobs that pay us enough money to live happy. I hope you understand that being happy is what keeps us from achieving further. The moment we stop feeling satisfied, is the same moment we get the motivation to develop. This is where I become scared. This is my line. Things that alter your content are the same things that stunt your development. The worst situation we can find ourselves in is where we are satisfied with how things are, instead of how things could be.

“No matter what”. The silliest phrase to come into existence and remains to be considered sound. Does that mean, that, no matter how much better things can be, no matter how wrong anyone sees, I’m suppose to be content with it? Does society actually agree with this? I hope people will, some day, mature enough to realize that happiness “no matter what” is social regression. This is not inherent knowledge. People were actually taught this. Just as people were taught the earth was once flat. Why? you ask, has this not been realized? The answer is quite simple. It is for the better. People are not smart enough to decide for themselves. The same good Religion is doing for the great of society, is the same good this “content state” is doing for the individual. I have never once thought, “Wow, you really should believe in God a whole lot less,” or “maybe there’s more to life than the natural flow of things”. Because people need the constant reassurance that “no matter what”, they will be happy as long as they do what is normal.

What should we do now? We have clearly become the enlightened ones. It is clear that we distinguished ourselves as more aware than the rest of society. Take a look at the fried soul over there in the corner laying naked, passed out, clearly enlightened. Some may argue he is different than the rest of us. But he might have considered himself one of us at a point in time. He simply fell into the pit of dependence because he broke out of the program a little too fast. This program is guarded by fear, which protects these malleable souls from becoming erroneously wired. Wired to believe there is no limit to abusing pleasure. They think, “This little thing made me feel happier than I had ever felt… therefore, more of this little thing, in larger quantities must add happiness just as easily.” Suddenly, elementary school math plays its role as 3.5 becomes 7 (twice as strong) therefore, the level of happiness must double too. Right? Suddenly, another man takes off his clothes and begins running through a crowd screaming, “There’s no escape!”

Ask your friends if they have any on them. Unironically they will respond, “No. Do you?” It’s funny. My friends come over to my home and are surprised as they ask why I have so much alcohol around the kitchen. BECAUSE I’M NOT A FUCKING ALCOHOLIC! There will always be need to buy things that provide happiness because people do not know how to say “No”. Ask yourself. Are you strong enough to say no? A common deranged characteristic of our personality is that we try to find greatness in the easiest way possible. People mistake the faith they have in themselves, with their power of self control. These two characteristics mixed together give people the inability to refuse.
