It’s been quite a lonely life, knowing things and working things out. Before this episode, I knew people were switched off, didn’t want to know and were actively ignoring the world around them and how it came to be that way. It separated me and I accepted that. Conversations became difficult and only about what they had the capacity to discuss, no further. I guess it was frustration that led me to step back from interactions, socialising and general engagements, they became pointless and felt like a waste of time. And maybe that is the point perhaps. Most people are just bumbling through life, wasting time. Wiling away the days and hours to just get to the end. It seems such a waste, when there is so much to say, do, think and be.

I really wasn’t sure there were many out there, ones who actually shared my views and interests and came to similar conclusions or questions as I had.

Now I know. The number is far greater than I could have imagined or hoped for. There are many who are on the same path of thought, ones who do stand for justice, and fighting for what is right. Because it is not just a belief or a knowing we have, it is an idea and an unshakeable undeniable feeling that drives us on. That we can be more than we are, and better than we are, that we can strive to be the best versions of ourselves.

So, when faced with darkness, corruption, manipulation and the insane demands of mad men and women, we are compelled to act, to speak, and to try to warn others. It appears the very fabric of society and the nature of humanity is being tampered with by nefarious entities for purposes currently unconfirmed. I’m not sure that can really be denied by anyone at this stage.

We must not give up on ourselves, or we won’t be ourselves anymore…
