Its just a ride!

Discussion in 'General' started by Lebowski, Feb 5, 2011.

  1. The world is like a ride at an amusement park.

    When you choose to go on it, you think its real, because that's how powerful our minds are.


    The ride goes up and down, around and around, it has thrills and chills, and its very brightly colored, and its very loud.

    And its fun, for a while.


    Some people have been on the ride for a long time, and they begin to question- is this real? Or is this just a ride?

    And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and they say:

    "Hey! Don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because, this is just a ride!"


    And we... kill those people.




    But it doesn't matter, because-

    Its just a ride.


    And we can change it anytime we want. It's only a choice.

    No effort.
    No work.
    No job.
    No money.

    A choice, right now, between fear and love.

    The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your door, buy guns, close yourself off.

    The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one.



    Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride:

    Take all that money we spend on weapons and defense each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one human being excluded...

    AND WE CAN EXPLORE SPACE, TOGETHER

    INNER AND OUTER

    IN PEACE

    FOREVER

  7. hell yeah man hicks was the truth

    if only the world paid more attention to guys like this, change would be more noticable in our daily lives
