About Me

VOMIT IN THE MAINSTREAM
That is me, you, us... We are the ugliness dripping down the sides
of walls in every town, in every city. We are what spoils what
they see as clean, pure beauty... But we don't spoil it... We
are here to enhance... Need truth to find lies... Need evil to bring
out good... We are what you look upon with furrowed brow or a
forgiving smile... Yet we make no excuses for ourselves...
Mission
It is not the truth, it is our truth. My words are my truth, your
words are yours... Need to combine these in order to achieve a
higher, purer form of truth... Worldly truth vs absolute truth... When
you have a thought it is a very abstract concept, then you write
it down, try to formulate it and it starts becoming more real. But
only when you share it with somebody else is it made manifest...
This is what we are doing... It is about making other people see
our point of view though all we ask for is a bit of understanding...
You do not need to agree with us or believe in the same things...
In fact, the world would be a boring place if everyone believed in
the same things... But just wish people were more prepared to listen...
And therein lies the problem. And that is why so many wars have
been fought in so many names. The fault is to believe there is
only one universal truth... This is of course not so... Countless
wars could have been avoided alone by understanding, empathy.
Be prepared to die for your own beliefs. Sure. Yes. but don't kill
other people in the name of it... Or better yet; there should be no
need to die for it at all... Truth is ephemeral, it is everchanging...
This is what laws and politics fail to understand because their
premises is founded on false foundations; based on the fact
that things, truths and morals, stay static. True they try to change
and adapt with time but they are hopelessly decayed and can't
keep up... We live in a new time... We need a new system... Need to
change the format... We change... So should the physical form to
conform with our new shape...
