88. Bad news

Why...

Why is the news only bad news?

Why is that human beings seem to find the need, to find the bad in everything, and then broadcast it through streams of mixed media like T.V. and Facebook feeds...

Maybe it’s because they want us to become paralyzed by all the problems in the world, which isn’t really your problem at all. 

So, we infect ourselves with more fear, so we get stuck buying stuff we don’t really need, just to feel good, in spite of all the bad news that keeps happening. 

And so why do you keep participating in the news feeds if it doesn’t make you feel good?

Oh, I know, it’s so you can keep the chains of pain goin', because monsters, like what they know.

So, without the daily dose of fear you can’t keep being who you are?

So what you’re saying is, you just want to keep being who you are?

But do you even know who you’re being when you’re being your Monster?

Probably not, because you probably don’t see yourself like I do. 

It’s the way you look when you’re defending yourself to protect what you think is right when you’re wrong in every way...

It’s the way you act out when you act like you’re better than everyone else, just because you feel like you’re not good enough to be yourself. 

It’s the assertion you put on others just to make them feel weak, so you can feel more powerful because deep down, you really don’t. 

So, truth be told, the Monsters of the world...

You’re not powerful at all. 

You’re not actually achieving the results you want when you use fear to control. 

And that’s why everyone I see on the news and in hospital waiting rooms, and at airport terminals, and at the gas station, and in grocery stores...

They’re all miserable.

And quite frankly...

It’s the real reason I don’t wanna be here anymore.

What’s the point....

I can’t talk Monsters because they make me sick, and that’s the very thing I’m trying to fix. 

But, I just wanna say...

Thank God for Mary Jane.

Without her, I’d probably be the same.
