From subconscious to conscious; from conscious to word; from word to pen; from pen to paper; from paper to eyes; from eyes to conscious; from conscious to subconscious. Insanity is a state of mind which every human suffers from, but few realize their own insanity or the insanity of those around them, for some forms of insanity are considered to be the norm. Mankind has chased insanity since the dawn of our existence and now we see it staring us down; our demons unleashed from Pandora's Box at our own curiousity's request; those that come before us setting the pace for our insanity by following the paths of those that came before them and them before them. Our suffering; entirely our own creation, though far removed and the creation of a different generation; when will we waken from our cooperative nightmare and begin to truly experience life as was first intended?

4/20 True Story, Sadly

The funniest thing just happened. I was on another community website like Facebook and saw a person say something about 4/20 not being a holiday. I, of course, jumped to the defense and was met with 'it's not a real holiday that means anything like Christmas or Thanksgiving.'

"oh, right. Christmas, the supposed birth of Christ when Christ was actually born in the middle of summer. The act of giving gifts during this time didn't really catch on until Saint Nicholas, who was modest man and a wood-carver. The children of his village were poor and had no toys, but were good children; so he crafted toys for them and gave them to them on Christmas Eve. Nobody really remembers this. The Christmas tree was re-introduced by the French in the late 1700's, early 1800's and before then was seen as the yule log in old pagan traditions, because they moved the birth of Christ to the day that pagan religions held their yule rituals to make Christianity more appealing to the masses; thus manipulating them to join. It is now nothing but a corporate whore.

Thanksgiving was originally intended for the giving of thanks and appreciation for the things that we had; which is funny, because it's now followed by Black Friday where people go out and spend as much as they can on sales in the stores. The first Thanksgiving was to give thanks to the Native Americans for providing help to the pilgrims during their first year in North America; because they wouldn't have been ready to survive the winter otherwise. They repaid the Native Americans by massacring them, stealing their land and raping their culture, which is now reduced to casinos and fireworks; and placed them on reservations that we controlled and monitored.

Those are your holidays. My holiday celebrates a natural herb that grows out of the ground and actually has some curative properties to it; enhancing the body and mind and creating a peaceful atmosphere where people may relax and come together peacefully. We would share it with everyone for free if not for the economy."

They continued to hate on the 4/20 and told me to shut up and that I was stupid; that they were just sharing their opinion and nobody had asked me for my input and I replied "if you're going to post something like this in a place that is VIEWED PUBLICLY, then expect the public to RESPOND TO IT. If you can not take the heat; then do not POST TO THE PUBLIC. Dumbass"

To which was replied: "you wouldn't talk to me like that in person; I'd rip your head off."

ah, violence; the solver of everything logical and reasonable in the world. And then I was blocked.

This only goes to show just how much ignorance is still out there.
