Opinion Rant

If you don't have at least a few people who hate you, you're not living right. Inaction trumps controversy when it comes down to what is truly evil. You keep looking at the world and you say how awful it is, so much suffering, so much violence, oppression, people stuck in abject poverty. You tell everyone that you don't agree with the political state. And you idle your way through a lifetime. Going with the flow and you keep everything you have. Clawing at self-preservation, self-interest. Wave to your fans. Continue being adored for not speaking out. You let the world around you fill up with lies until you're drowning in it. And I hope you never have to be disliked to make a change. Keep your comfort and sleep easy little sheep. Mind control comes free. Turn on the TV.
