The Development of Dead Eyes: Part Ii

this person strips themselves of the cast which has been molded round them, while the constant beating from the world brought only severe bleeding within understanding now that the rules that one is supposed to abide by, in order to correctly maintain a life according to the status quo, is just not possible anymore--- in fact, it has been made impossible by the very system that wants to maintain it. the “bad apples” must be recognized as such by all those “good apples,” so as to keep these cute little bunnies from jumping out of the basket--- and so a person finds themselves “resorting” (as if one had a choice in the matter) to ways in which a solution can be acquired--- the solution may come in many forms, but the intent is always the same--- PAIN MUST BE STOPPED. self-anesthetization becomes essential to one’s survival because the pain threshold of the individual can simply not keep a person alive anymore--- the overwhelming will eliminate s/he who does nothing to stop it, and through the acquisition of means to an end which would mean a continuation of one’s life, said person is able to continue. here, the development of dead eyes occurs & the world spends its time trying to stare into them, trying to ascertain the reasoning behind what has happened, trying to make itself feel better about itself always avoiding the actual problem, always blaming & incarcerating, blaming & incarcerating, blaming&incarcerating blamingandincarcerating blmmingndncarcerating blmngndncrcerating blmgndcrerating blgndcerating blndcerating bldcrating blcrating blrating blating blatin blatn. bla___/\/\/\/\/\/\____/\/\__/\/\/\/\/\________________________
