Your demons…

You know?  That that haunts you. 

The elements that erode you.

that inner struggle.

The Joker to your Batman. 

All the vanity in the world is not an acceptable artifice to save us from that that haunts.

I see our “champions” being consumed by the same poison that consumes our  culture.  Like lemmings we parody without knowing why exactly.  We want to fit in, and march off that cliff with everyone else because after all, we are all dead men walking. Any attempt to rebel from this idea and the zombie masses will devour you and their rejection and solitude is far too cold. 

As people, we need relationships because we like sharing things with others, which is where the paradox lies.  We strive to become individuals, as a means to gain followers because having followers is what separates us from the rest. The rest follow because they believe following is what separates them from the “uncool”.  Creating the “cool” vs the “uncool”, but ironically both sides are pure perception.  “Coolness” rests on the corner of the circle, much like the prick of “devil horns” can be found on halos. 

This why you never have followers who follow everyone and you never have leaders who follow followers and so the ego reigns and we remain divided.  Those who benefit most from this dialectic are laughing at our naivety.

WARNING: Just keep scrolling, these notions are way too harsh to trend. Society doesn’t have the time to accept such ideals (much less read this).  This is why these thoughts must be castrated upon inception.  Blogging, reblogging and/or liking this will alienate you. I guarantee it.  Because to them our devil horns will impale them but to us our halos will hang us and this is why we toil at the feet of such pettiness.
