Debate Reality

At first it seems ludicrous, I know. However, give pause for just a moment and consider.

Is there any thing more real than your feelings? Is there any thing in the real world that drives to the brink or envelops you wholly as intensely as your emotions do? It would be so easy to slip down the slippery semantic slide of reality is perception, but I want to divert. I want to divert to an emotional level. Unfortunately, it is quite easy for me, to divert emotionally. Let's not be so empirical, so apathetic, so shallow, so glossed, so superficial, so stoic, so repressed, so scared.

Reality is not perception as the intellect steers us. Whose side are the intellect on anyway? Isn't it their fault a child cries alone at night instead of into the bosom of their mother? Isn't it their fault that free thought has been exorcised from public education? Isn't it their fault that the spirits are now only vodka, gin, and something to take prozac for?

We've lost touch with reality. Somewhere, we switched from what we feel, to what we see, or even more appropriately in this day of mass-media tyranny, what we're told. In far too many cases if you show your emotions, there is a pill for it. NOT only is their a pill for it, but there is a COMMERCIAL for it. Just a bit too Orwellian for my heart.

My reality is what I feel. If I feel lonely, then the world is a very lonely place. Two people together, holding hands, swimming in each other's souls, the anthithesis of loneliness, but my perception sees only loneliness, my loneliness, my reality.

This is not a bane, but a boon. A timely blessing. If reality is what we feel, then we are in control of our reality. Eventually. A TIMELY blessing. A blessing society has no time, no patience, no belief, no acceptance of anymore.

I've lost touch with reality. I've lost touch with the spirits. I've lost touch with my heart. I've lost touch with my souls.

because

It takes two worlds

It takes two spirits

It takes two hearts

It takes two souls

It takes two people

to touch

Empower yourself, don't just listen to the wind, talk to it. Don't just listen to the babbling of the brook, respond. Don't just listen to the world...feel it.

RIGHT NOW, any question a human can ever possibly conceive or ponder, is already answered by nature.

There's nothing wrong with thinking...I highly reccommend it.

Just don't forget to feel.
