For too long we've all bought into the ideology that the American way is the only way. We've fallen for the bullshit hook line and sinker that we are superior to everyone else on the planet. And now we're paying for it.
We've become a nation bankrupt socially, morally and spiritually.
It's not the plastic, masonry and polished wood that make up the foundation that is America. It's the human relationships and the undying spirit of freedom.
We are no longer free, however....because we are arrogant elitist motherfuckers that care about no one but ourselves.
It's not just the counterculture that has spoken about our widening disconnect. People all over are starting wake up and slowly realize what's really important.
People are not happy. People are not happy despite the 401k's, the home ownerships, the degrees in sheepskins hanging from the walls of those homes, the cars in the garage, the designerclothes, the oil sheik lifestyle we take as an entitlement.
No longer is it simply enough to just be content and happy. The monster has ratcheted everyone's expectations up to insanity in order to keep chasing an elusive dream.
And what is my dream? My dream is to find my place of solitude. Where it is expectation-free and consequently free of the additives and preservatives that make our lives more entertaining and in color but rob us of our souls and kill us.
Lose the expectations. Be simple.
