Surrounded by idiots

The king didn't want an odalisque to supply him with everything he was missing.

The king looked at his kingdom from the window of his castle, a masterpiece of the modern architecture. He felt a kind of emptiness inside his chest and that luxury and comfort was just a lie, a getaway. The more he liked richness, he wasn't pleased to see his wonderful castle surrounded by poverty and ignorance. He didn't want social justice because he didn't want his culture to be discovered and admired by the stupids that didn't understand a thing of it. He wanted the world to be full of people like him, but as it wasn't, the emptiness feeling was a constant in his life.

Throwing his brain through the window , burning the knowledge, living surrounded by odalisques and female assistants that used to reduce themselves to a mere sexual object didn't help. It was just a temporary sedative. It was like using drugs and after seeing the ugliness of the world when the effect was gone, he wanted to drug himself more, but he knew that drugging was just an illusion.

He wanted to shorten his disturbing thoughts to a 140 characters tweet or even less. It was as if he wrote in the air, as if he spoke and the more the people try to understand him, they couldn't. The more you read, listen, absorb and study any kind of experience, you will only comprehend it when you live it.

He was tired. Tired of speaking and nobody listening. Tired of people once stupid that now are specialized critics from important things to banal things. Tired of the exaggerated bliss to disguise an emptiness. Tired of being surrounded by idiots that he thought they deserved his respect and, after the traditional vanishing, he noticed that he lost his time with asshole ones.

The king didn't want an odalisque to supply him with everything he was missing. He had already lived the time he thought a woman could fill up his emptiness. He just wanted to meet people that thought like him. Perhaps it would fade a little his loneliness feeling.

Out of the water

I am like those fishes that swim against the current. I have my own ideas and my particular way of thinking, behaving and living.

I break the rules and prejudices. No, I am not a rebel. I just can not enjoy what they impose as “funny” or “boring” so, I am a fish out of the water.

When people show their hot bodies at the beach and I show all the whiteness of my less developed muscles, I am a fish out of the water.

When people tell the places they have visited around the world and I only have been 40km away, I am a fish out of the water.

When people have a social life and have somewhere to go and to do every weekend and my few friends are away or busy, I am a fish out of the water.

When people can buy expensive things, spend a huge sum of money in whatever they want and I suffer a lot when I have to buy a simple t-shirt, I am a fish out of the water.

When people talk about having kids and a family and I can not have it or prefer to be single, when people eat with a fork and I eat with a spoon, I am a fish out of the water.

When everybody make fun of other’s tragedies or supposed choices they have made and I do not think it is funny and fair and I have to realize that this is real and we have such a disgusting society, I am a fish out of the water.

And when people can not think on their own, when the ignorance is the tendency of this summer that never ends, when people do not have a thinking brain inside their heads and I can think on my own and have a thinking brain, I am a fish out of the water.

And fishes out of the water feel weird and strange because they are different compared to the other fishes and they know only a handful of fishes that can really understand them. Sometimes, they would like to be like the others and feel they do not have a problem. But unfortunately they ca not fool themselves so they feel they are fishes out of the water.

The hardest revolution

The most difficult thing is not to start a revolution. The most difficult thing is to revolutionize people’s mind. It is put into their heads that they have and they are the power.

Hello, let’s start a revolution? Let set us free from the chains of opression and fight for rights in order for us to have a fairer society. Think of a problem that affects a huge number of people and then think in how we can start it. Let’s revolutionize!

What about a world without wars? Let’s show to the Lord of the War all the horror of the battlefields: multilations, destructions, people’s death, financial crisis. Let’s forget that there are no war without soldiers. Let’s revolutionize and show them they are risking their own lives to defend the interests of a little number of powerful people?

What about a safer traffic? Let’s complain about the lack of signs, about the terrible roads conditions. But let’s forget about alcohol that not only kills due to drunk drivers, as it also destroys families.

What about the youth without drugs? Let’s increase the number of cops in order to fight against the drugs traffic and open more centers of rehab. But let’s forget about the parents that do not talk to their kids and do not care about their emotional problems.

What about fight for more labor rights? Let’s demand our politicians and our labor syndicate the creation of laws in order to avoid exploration of poor people at work. But let’s forget that a company without workers does not produce and it is not profitable.

What about a country without corrupt politicians? Let’s demand the approvation of laws that do not allow politicians involved in corruption scadals to be elected again. But let’s forget that the ones who elect them is the people and that people are not honest as well.

The most difficult thing is not start the revolution itself. The hardest thing is to revolutionize people’s mind and put into their heads that they have the power of changing but, first of all, they need to change their minds. Besides, the revolution it is not made for a single person, it needs the people to gather for same goal.

Human being is proud of being a rational animal, but is so slave of their instincts, slave of their selfish desires and ends up killing, dying or living in the same spiritual misery because they have a big difficulty to put into practice things that are extremely simple.

All of us know that the condom prevents AIDS and non-desired pregancy, but it is no taken in consideration when people are slaves of their libido. All of us know that driving drunk is one of the main causes of car crashes, but a lot of people still think that they can drive when they barely know what they have done 2 minutes ago. All of us know that the polution and that the destruction of the natural resources are destroying the planet, but lots of people still waste water and throw garbage in anywhere and everywhere.

Centuries have passed but the mind of the human being developed too little. While a big number of people do not have good sense, all of us will suffer the consequences of the ignorance of the 21st century Neanderthal Man.

The monkeys

Darwin was right! Men definitely came from monkeys.

Monkeys might belong to different races. They might be white, black, indigenous, mongoloids. These differences work as pretexts for some monkeys believe they are better than the other ones.

Monkeys might have different social status. They might be beggar, poor, rich, millionaire. These differences work as pretexts for some monkeys explore the other ones.

Monkeys might worship different gods and prophets. They might be Christians, Jews, Muslins, Buddhists. These differences work as pretexts for some monkeys attack the other ones.

Monkeys might be different physically. They might be tall, short, fat, thin, gorgeous, ugly. These differences work as pretexts for some monkeys discriminate the other ones.

Monkeys might have different ages and sexualities. They might be men, women, children, straights, homosexuals. These differences work as pretexts for some monkeys believe they deserve a special treatment comparing to the other ones.

Even though they have all these differences, they are all monkeys.

Monkeys are not polite. They scratch their genitals in front of others, they belch, they fart, they speak loud, they interrupt the other monkeys while speaking, they jump the rows, they park on the space designated to elderly and handicap monkeys, they let their cell phones ringing at the movies, they do not respect the crosswalks...

Monkeys are evil. They invent gossips, they spread gossips, they buy gossips, they make evil jokes, they mock the others, they tell lies, they enjoy the other’s tragedies, they want to know who was murdered on the noon news.

Monkeys feed themselves eating trash. They gather in front of the TV to watch urban tragedies, they listen to obscene songs, the wear the fashion tatter clothes and spend their banana-coins to pay and to get more debts in order to impress the monkeykind.

Monkeys are the basis of the pyramid; they are the mass, the population’s majority. Monkeys have the power. Monkeys are the power. They elect the new successful songs and TV programs. They elect the monkey-king who will explore them and have a fancy life while starving monkeys will call him “Your Majesty”. Monkeys accommodate themselves on their rotten trees praying and putting “on the Hands of God” their hope of better days.

Monkeys are the gears that move the world back. They see nothing, they listen nothing, they say nothing. They do not care to be explored and eat trash. They do not want to improve. They feel glad with small things. It is easy to please the monkeys. Does the monkey want bananas? Give bananas to the monkey!

Afraid of Sophia

As I am afraid of the truth, I prefer to live the comfort of the ignorance.

They have arrived full of knowledge and I was afraid of them having the power to make blind people to see the world from a blindness that keeps me in the power. I will send them to the bonfire.

I have created a whole universe, fantastic stories, the good ones winning the bad ones, divine justice, severe punishments; everything was well-created to make me the most immaculate being in the world and to make my case always.

But the lost sheep have run away from their group seeking for the truth and some knowledge. They have discovered disconnected things, contradictions. I have sent my best bad wolves to hunt them, annoy them and make them feel afraid of the punishments of my book.

I am really afraid, I strongly repel it and the last word is mine, always mine. Power is mine, only mine and never will be theirs. I behave as if I were innocent. I say you are possessed by bad spirits, you are evil, you do not believe in anything and your retribution will be grisly.

And them I leave running, I summon my followers to confuse you. Most of the people are right, right? Do not try to make us to see. Ignorance comforts us and makes us feel so good... We are fine living this way. So, get out, I do not want to know. I will escape from you. Get out, get out!

Knowledge and superiority scare the weak and ignorant ones.
