Revenge

When morals waver to support the desired truth, when deaf ears, closed eyes and raised voices are all that is seen and heard. We will decline together to a saddening depth no one saw coming.

Nobody wins tonight; we all lose.

We all lose the battle to be the smartest, the most informed, the most open-minded. We all lose when the truth of the situation is far more disturbing, far wider-reaching, far more dangerous than we realise now.

The concept of saying one thing and supporting another remains foreign, an action I can not comprehend and can not accept. I question, which is your truth, which is your lie. It makes me ponder all that has been said, the connection we share.

This realisation renders me more isolated than I ever thought possible. But do I care what you say, what you think? In the end, these statements and thoughts may only be your fears, expressed to make you appear braver than you feel, braver than you may be.

All things have their limits, their due by date, their point of no return. Sadly this seems to be the predictable cycle of life while we await death. Actions taken not from a moral compass but from their desire to be seen living on the right side of history and seemingly influenced by how the wind blows, how the dice rolls, and the popular belief of like-minded souls. 

It’s your selective morals that worry me most. Your mixed messages, designed for non-questing audiences, believers unable to rise to the reality of their thoughts, favouring what is seen to be correct or perceived to be wrong. A perspective of safety where thought is the enemy, questions remain unanswered, and being compliant leads to acceptance.

We applaud each other as intelligent, as evolved, living in a world of our design, built on the foundations of shifting morals that support the self-deluding structures of our past and future stories.

But we may have just outsmarted ourselves. We may only be fools who matter little and contribute less. Attempting to change what you don’t understand seems like a descending slope leading to the known embrace of shifting morals, the very thing that offends me most.

So for now, this fool is surrendering, taking a break from all he knows, thinks, and believes.

This fool is going dark. See you never.
