Hello... I am mike... I am new... but have been reading here for a while... so here is an introduction essay that gets straight to the point on what I am all about... here it is... oh and to help you better understand how I feel... I recommend listening to this on repeat while you read... you don't have to though...

Alright where do I begin with this? I have a lot to say, a lot on my mind. I am going to let you into my struggle I guess. Or my mind and what I think about on a daily basis. I will warn you. It’s going to start off really depressing. Very depressing, but stay with me and please keep reading. It gets positive towards the end. I would like to add (I have thought about helping people ever sense I can remember… but this thought im about to explain to you didn’t come to mind until it blew up in my face the first time I tried LSD so I will title this)
My Current Predicament
As a young American, I face the grim future of working the rest of my life for people who don’t know my name. People who will never care about me, I was born into this world where I must work for money in order to pay to live on my land, In order to survive. To pay taxes to people who call themselves my government. (Who use a majority of taxes to build weapons and kill and destroy other people, in the name of freedom and democracy?) These people do not care about me, or you or anyone else. They don’t care about this country or anyone; however this is not my point. I can talk a life time about this but my time is ticking and I need to get straight to my point.
We live in a grim dark demonic world. Where people kill their own kind for many reasons, but not one reason is good enough. Where woman are raped, and abused. Where people are struggling off of one dollar a day salaries and even less, while others rape the land and abuse there people for profit, and make lots of money. Earth is where complete genocide of an entire people happens for reasons such as the manifest destiny. (It has happened more than once) The list goes on and on. I’m sure you can list many of your own, But if you think about it deeply. While your reading this at this moment right now. Realize that many women are being raped at this moment. People are overdosing on substance right now. People are taking their own lives right now. People are taking the lives of other people right now. Governments are taking the lives of other people right now. Someone is homeless outside right now in the pouring rain with no shelter or bed… right now. People are starving… People are dying… People are suffering at the hands of others… all right now while you’re reading this.
When I tell my mother this…
She says Mike you have to focus on what you can control and be happy. But I cannot, how can I keep moving forward while many others are dragging themselves along or have stopped or are falling in the opposite direction than I am heading into. Do I just look back behind me at all of them and just say fuck it, and move on. I may not know who I really am as in universal purpose of human beings. But I am not the kind of person that leaves people behind.
I am very conflicted on this concept. I am split down the middle. It is like there are two people in my head at all times governing and talking to me at all times.
One of them feels a deep compassion and love for all human beings and all living things. Including non living things such as the planet and the sun, (even though I believe they are both very alive) Not just his family or the ones he is close to. He feels a deep responsibility to his fellow human beings and animals and the earth, to take care of and give back to them. He is the part of my personality that would stop moving forward and turn around and help those way far behind and struggling to move forward.
Then there’s the other person. This person is the complete opposite of the other. This person prays for war and more war. To the point where it consumes the earth, To the point where the battlefield is not just in some distant country that you hear about on your TV, but a war that this world has never seen, One that is in everyone’s back yard.
I don’t like to use this word but it is how I really feel. This person has a deep sensation of hate towards humanity. But not the planet, He feels that humanity has fucked up and it’s time for all us to go into oblivion, and never return our ugly evil faces to this universe. If this person could communicate to the earth in English, about how she feels about humans. I feel that the response would be very negative.
But then the other half hopes that she will forgive all of us, and hopes that the universe as a whole will forgive us. Maybe were not the only beings in this universe. Maybe the universe has seen this before and that’s why I feel like she has allowed us to live this long and spare us. Maybe the universe knows that things will get better. How does that old saying go? You must walk through hell, in order to reach heaven. I hope that is true. I really hope.
