don't be afraid ever.

About Me

Bill Hicks used to finish his shows with this: Life's like a ride in an amusement park, and when you go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. The ride goes up and down and round and round, it has thrills and chills and it's very brightly colored. And it's very loud and it's fun for a while. Some 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. 'Cause this is just a ride.' And we kill those people. Shut him up, i have got a lot invested in this ride, shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry, look at my big bank account and my family. This has to be real. It's just a ride. But we always kill those guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that. And we let the demons run a muck. But it doesn't matter because it is just a ride, and we can change it anytime we want. It is only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. Just a choice right now. Between fear, and love. The revolution is now.-From Zeitgeist."Everything that we see is a shadow cast by that which we do not see." - MLK"Have we not come to such an impasse in the modern world that we must love our enemies - or else? The chain reaction of evil - hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars - must be broken, or else we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation." - MLK
