Behold Oblivion
Folder:
Dusk's Rule Should we march on, still shackled,
Into our destiny, toward our fate,
By this idea we call choice,
We should behold oblivion--
Why is the drunk unable,
and the homeless persecuted?
Here is the screaming,
Blood gushing, wounds gaping,
Fighting, as if we had a choice,
Where we are born,
Who our parents are,
and what we believe.
Eternity is an infinite loop,
Watch the sand swirl in the wind,
The waves lap any trace of time,
Forever marching onward.
Praise God, for he,
is the one you were born to.
Dancing in ceremony,
Singing hymns,
Bonded together,
Bonded at birth.
Slowly the world wakes,
With the one realization,
The illusion of choice,
It's naked, destructive force.
Idea of choice--acidic to existence.
The core of our dissonance,
Why society reverberates in white embers,
Burning itself, clawing, stabbing,
All the while, the few,
Behold Oblivion--
Choice.
Supercomputers, generated,
Altered by the environment,
And all choices are inevitable,
Given time, given place.
Forget choice--feel reality,
See the paths that lie ahead of all,
Travel them each, forgive, mend, move on,
Should you say they had a choice--
Simply,
Behold Oblivion.
Fear denies faith
...and at the end of fear...........Oblivion
this is not the end, this is not the begining of the end, this is merely the end of the begining.
We can often walk unshackled
If there are many paths in life, may they hold danger, anger, a smooth road, or happiness, don't we still have a choice as to which one we travel? It's true that we don't get to choose who our parents are or where we are born but that should only change the beginning of the path and block only a few forks in the road.
Just an observation and opinion
This life is the "once upon a time" kind of fairy tale that will sold to the masses 2000 years after it ends
We are given two things. A
We are given two things. A body, that holds DNA, or pre-programming, and environment, which alters our programming. Some are more apt to certain things, per their DNA, such as violence (over-production of Testosterone), or succumb to Alcoholism readily, which is accepted as fact and that addictions "cannot be cured", in that they can only be controlled with help.
Why are some things "choices" and other things not?
Choice allows us to blame people.
Choice allows us to hate.
Choice allows us to say, "they chose that".
We send people to prison. Why? To "reform" them? Most people who go to prison, return to it.
We are treating the symptoms, not the causes.
People who are abused as children, tend to be abusive themselves. We mimic what we grow up in. What we experience. It changes us.
If someone knew the programming of the brain and knew the exact state of the electrons, they could know exactly what you were thinking and were going to do. However, to calculate that is currently impossible.
Choice is the illusion that allows us to hate.
Why would anyone choose to hurt, harm, or be destructive of others or themselves? They didn't just wake up one day and decide it. It was a path laid out before them, and the factors lead them into it. Just as the factors of our lives have lead us to this moment.
