As a youngster, I was a handful. Hellbent on the destruction of everything around me and I was good at it. My biggest talent was taking something and throwing it into the flames. My talent for it made it more and more attractive to me as the days went on. As I grew up, I learned how to rope in these destructive desires and made room for it amongst my own arsenal.
The question of how useful anarchy and destruction is in the world in which we live in today can be simply split in two. Either it is completely impractical or it's usefulness is just drowned out by those claiming it is impractical. Coming across a conversation between two people I have spoken with personally before, it interested me to know that the one of the two I thought would be more prone to the idea of destruction and anarchy was actually against it all.
This person went on to say that it has no place in the world and that nothing was ever created by destroying things. Even though I don't normally make comments on people's blogs or ramblings, I had to reply. I feel as thought destruction has every right and usefulness in this world. Falling into a somewhat grey area, I submit to the idea that it is impractical but only because of the state of the world at large. Unfortunately, the more impractical for the world, the more the world seems to need it.
There is nothing I would love to see more than the tearing down of certain central governments and organizations and making them rebuild on the foundation that lay underneath their feet. Many have too long ago abandoned what they actually stood for and instead have traded themselves for the easier route.. force feeding the general public (YOU) things that they didn't even know they wanted but take because it must be right.
Riding in a car the other night, I had made mention that I am not a follower, only a leader. This being contradicted only by the fact that I want no followers of my own. What leader has no followers? My purpose serves only as a reminder to others that they have their own minds and they should probably think with them before it is too late. Alas, much of the populace is too far gone.
There will be those that disagree with me about destruction. They will instead harp on a new theory. Theory of manipulation. The idea that they can somehow change the world around them by the slip of the tongue and that eventually, eons from now, the world will be a more suitable place. I rally, instead, that we must acknowledge when it is time to learn and lay silent and when it is time to force feed them. Whether by word or weapon; as is anyone's right, regardless of country.
There will be those that will say that they will start the war, fan the flames or provide the match for the generation that will eventually pick up a book instead of a TV remote and they will see the beginning of the end. I say, this generation will NOT see the beginning of any start to an end. This world is not ready yet and there are not enough of this generation to start anything other than a collection of ideas to be passed down until it starts. You cannot manipulate your way through anything but your own life or maybe even small scale. Which is the point.
I wish not to control others but to have those others control themselves. I wish not to be controlled but to control and demand from myself for myself. This path that I have chosen will always be uphill because I demand it to be uphill. And you are not the new revolution... simply a means to someone's end in the arena of entertainment.
