Topic: “YOU SAID IT”
Since most people see only the main page, and not other people’s comments and feedback, I’m going to start posting stuff that you guys come up with, because my site is worthless w/out people providing encouragement, criticism, and unique perspectives.
“it should be compulsory for all citizens to spend a certain amount of time in the bush and realise how small their lives are and yet how precious.” – enfant_terrible
“I’m steering my raft stronger than ever right now. But that’s only because the river took me someplace I never expected, and knocked my raft right over. Sometimes a bit of cold water is required to get you steering.”- lettersat3am
“People have to learn to think freely, to find an authentic existence outside of the mill or the cubicle, and this involves turning off the idiot-box and connecting with the real world. Until people can do that, as long as they remain hypnotized by reality tv and funny insurance commercials, they’re going to be just cattle, herded from pasture to pasture to slaughter.
But you get stuck with your job and your family and you say, “no I’m free” and the next thing you know you’ve got credit card debt and mortgage payments and you’re not so free anymore, but you’re overweight and comfortable. Its normal living, herd living, status quo living, nihilistic consumerist living, that kills us.” – ganryu
“so now i feel like i’m up shit creek with no paddle and headed towards a nasty waterfall that leads to sharp rocks which is where i will land and bleed to death.” – beachypanda
“check out the musical Don Quixote. It’s a 50′s or 60′s musical with cheesy parts all through it but all masculinity and bravado aside, it is very pertinent even today. Cervantes wrote Don quixote while in prison and the theme asks the question “is it better to live in reality as a pragmatist or to live in a dream as an idealist?”. Without the dreamers what would our society accomplish in it’s state of complacency?” – Gonnamakeit
