I was listening t some interview of Jim Morrison..
And, what he speaks of is true – as he says right here:
I think what I was concerned with in that book was the fact that most people feel completely void and helpless in controlling their own destinies, controlling the destiny of human life, and I think it’s sad. More people should be involved. Rather than designating all these powers to a few individuals, I think the average person, whatever that is, should be a part of it somehow, and I think everyone feels that events are just going on without their knowledge or control. I think it’s one of the tragedies of our time. I suppose it has always been that way, but now it’s just become so obvious. Decisions are made for you which you have no part of at all. I just lament the fact that so many people are content with living a very quiet, well-mannered, orderly life when so many obvious injustices are going on, and they just seem to ignore it somehow or not care at all. They just let it happen without ever becoming involved…
To me, there’s something incredibly sad about a bunch of human beings sitting down watching something take place. Just think about it. I love movies as much as anyone else, but the spectacle of millions and millions of people sitting in movie theaters and in front of television sets every night watching a second or third-hand reproduction of reality going on when the real world is right there in their living room, or right outside in the street, or down the block somewhere. I think it’s a tool to somnambulize or hypnotize people into a kind of waking sleep…
It is sad. That the world is closed for the season, all seasons, year-round– you’re not really allowed to ACTUALLY LIVE IN THE WORLD, it’s just supposed to be lived-through-observing screens.. And the world seem to have lost it’s essence, it’s spirit – who knows, if you dropped acid today, and went roaming around town, the MIND POLICE might spot you, and do anything to seize you in the act…harass you…such stuff is ILLEGAL, JUST AS TRULY LIVING IN THE WORLD, IS ONLY POSSIBLE BY BREAKING THE LAW….it’s almost like the actual world is closed-off, excluded, from all our’s realities – like we only walk around in it like bipedalists, not going to the far-out, to the full-distance, of LIVING in it, carrying our pain proudly and experience life, the world, like doing all we can do – even breaking those laws forcing us into the bipedalists-state, the sleep…we don’t live like a wild child, we’re limited to only “live”, in the world by not TRULY BE IN THE WORLD..
I mean… THIS WORLD, that we now find ourselves living in, is so far gone – THIS WORLD, IS LIKE “THE SOFT PARADE”! Very few people lose their minds in this world, everyone is living in total virtue to the social-standing, and is not some wild-child, pushing themselves in a matter that brings them towards GOING UNDER, out-of-control, breaking the rules of the soft parade – everyone is just bipedaling along, among this world where no one leave kicking and screaming, everyone is just walking around in a sleep-mode, not going out of frame, of the world, in an outrageous state of total joy-frenzy of wanting IT ALL, not just to walk around but to actually DO STUFF – now, that WILL get you arrested for disturbing, nothing is disturbing in THE SOFT PARADE, also not LAZY and egoistic, it’s JUST; WORK, SLEEP, BIPEDALING AND WATCHING SCREENS…and this ROMANCE, this FOOLISHNESS, is inherited to us, handed down to us, BY OUR PARENTS…they are pushing us into the NORMAL-STABLE-SOCIABLE-GOOD-WORKER, LIE OF CONFORMING TO THE HORDE…when in fact the only thing to focus on is DANCING!
People today are so far out of it – they can’t take the world back, they don’t want it back don’t want to LIVE.. They are content with just living inside their homes watching movies – when in fact they should be out.. People should live it up, really got into the whole mystic vibe of a world going on– UNDERGROUND, far from the leaders on the screen, they should seize the NOW, the world – should experience stuff in the real.. Like rather than taking a flight across America– HITCHHIKE across! Feel your way across the land..
I used to spend a lot of time in the woods, also walking, for long distances, wherever i was going, i once walked for 20 miles.. But you are no longer free in the open terrain of any city, the world is now like an institution…society controls everyone, just look at me, i had no reason to ever end up in psychiatric care..
Like Jack Kerouac said:
“my karma was to be born in America where nobody has any fun or believes in anything, especially freedom.”
Also, something Bob Marley said:
“Men and people will fight ya down, When ya see Jah light, Let me tell you if you‘re not wrong Well, everything is all right..”
They will FIGHT YOU DOWN – and if you’re not wrong, if you are conforming, then everything is alright..
