On Government

Now playing: sp00ky - Dusty Springfield

DO NOT LET YOUR HEARTS BE TROUBLED, NEITHER LET THEM BE AFRAID.

Government is an earthly structure maybe of necessity who knows??

What I do know is that Sovereignty is a choice, to live amiably in Society is a choice.

To participate in the Social Contract is to expect fulfillment of the otherside of the deal.

WHY DO WE HAVE GOVERNMENT? TO LIVE OR TO LIVE WELL???

WITHOUT A GOVERNMENT WE WOULD STILL LIVE, YES OR NO?

So one may be able to deduce from that, we participate in government in an effort of subversion against the evils of the world.

BE AS CUNNING AS A SNAKE AND AS INNOCENT AS A DOVE. WE CAN NOT LET OUR HEARTS HARDEN ANY FURTHER.

WE MUST LOVE EACH OTHER.

I don't cook in my current apartment, I don't have an oven or stove, yet when I was moving in I bought a small bag of flour and sugar, maybe my neighbor will need it.

The other day I was walking down Newbury and a gentleman asked me for money, I had $12 in my pocket, two $1 bills and one $10 bill, I gave the gentleman the $1 bills, he looked at them said, "Are you kidding me!?" and threw them on the ground, I picked them up, put the $10 bill on top of them and gave them back to him and told him to have a great day.

WHY NOT?!>! MONEY IS NO LONGER MY RULER. i care so little for money yet it's necessity is still prevalent, though I live by faith, there is a mission for my life here in this realm, yet to be discovered, and maybe never to be fully understood by the likes of me.

ONE DAY... i will have my chance, my SELF tells me there is a chance for my SELF to prove to the world, ITS NOT ABOUT THE FUCKING MONEY.

ALL OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ARCHITECTURAL CREATIONS ON THE PLANET, WHO IS MAKING MONEY OFF OF THEM? I MEAN IN THE CURATION AND PRODUCTION OF THE BEAUTIFUL CHURCHES AND BUILDINGS? ALL OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WORKS IN THEIR TIME WERE NOT PROFITABLE, THEY WERE MADE OUT OF REVERENCE FOR A LIFE WELL LIVED AND A CRAFT WELL ENDOWED.

We have to move past this eternal profiteering and love each other more.

what is life worth? give me a dollar amount, give me a dollar per hour that your fucking life is worth. if you are able to answer that question, this blog is probably not for you. OUR LIVES ARE NOT DEFINED BY OUR PRODUCTION, BY OUR CAPACITY TO OUTPUT, OUR LIVES ARE DEFINED BY THE CONTENTS OF OUR CHARACTER, THE CONTENTS OF OUR SOUL.
