Poison

[mynameislion]

It's like you can't go outside anymore. You step out into the warm sun, and you take a deep breath, and it reeks. The foul stench of hatred stains the sweet morning air. This makes people afraid. It has been said, by a muppet no less, that fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, and hate leads to suffering. I don't think those were his words, originally, but that's who we remember saying them.

Nonetheless, it is true. The whole goddamn world has hate in their hearts, and the whole world suffers for it. Tell me you don't have hate in your heart, and I'll name you a liar and know I have the truth of it. If you know love, you know hate. Contrary to popular belief, hate and love are NOT opposites. Hate and love are sisters, even twins. Two sides of the same coin, if you will. Hate and love are both VERY strong emotions, and therefore, cannot be opposites. That makes them the same. The opposite of strong emotion is no emotion, apathy. Sadly enough, there's a whole goddamn lot of that going around too, like a gray disease infecting humanity.

I don't pretend to be immune to these things. I have known hate for my fellow man, as sure as I've known love. Some would say that it's love that drives us to hate, and vice-versa. And they're right. I have known apathy, as well. Tell me a story of some faceless kid, some poor wretch who has no home/parents/food/etc., and I'll show you an uncaring face. It is the nature of humanity, nay, the nature of nature. Some of us forget that, that we're part of nature.

It's true. We're animals just as much as anything we keep for a pet, or kill for food. The only thing that separates us from the other animals is not what anyone will tell you it is. People will say it's things like "faith," "society," or "abstract thought," but other animals have those things, too. Well, except for abstract thought, which is just a word people made up to try and prove we're different from other animals. And THAT is what separates us, the need to justify our existence. Other animals know their purpose: to live, breed, and die. The end. That's all ANY animal is here for, including us, that pestilence that is humanity. But, because we need to justify ourselves, we create silly things like religions,and psychotropic drugs, and books, and TV, and movies, and games, and any number of foolish, un-natural things, to justify our existence, to "set us apart."

I'm no better than any of you, I partake in many of these things, and I enjoy them. I'm not preaching, not saying we all suck(even though we do), I'm just speaking my mind, because, like all of you reading this, I sometimes need to speak my mind. And, because I couldn't get anyone to sit still long enough for me to form these thoughts into cohesive sentences, I have chosen my internet audience, such as it is, to unleash my wordage upon. I think I just ended that sentence in a preposition. Or not. I have no clue, nor do I particularly care. I don't even know why I brought it up. And that's all I have to say about that. -The jesse

I looked at this thread in hopes of finding some Bell Biv Devoe. No time to read the actual content before class, so I'll just leave this here for anyone else (DCUP) also expecting some good ol' BBD:

Hey now, let us not forget the minor Alice Cooper hit also called "Poison" that was released around the same time. 

"She's Poison......"

My first thought was big hair and some rock compilation CD TV ad with 80's music.
