ð“€— I sit here today beginning to feel better about myself, and most namely
my mind, which has been downcast. It’s been nice and quiet upstairs in a way after
I switched myself off with chemicals last week. Silence is half-considered a mental
failure, like a lobotomy, but I have grown to quite adore it, because usually I
talk to myself at like a million miles per hour. I’ll say anything. Just like
the new depression buzz term: Small talk
saves lives. It’s good to natter.
For the stalkers hooked up to my thought rhythms, this recent silence must spell boredom for them. That’s what I prefer. Why should I entertain a bunch of criminals with my psychic chin-wagging who offer only hostility back in return? I relish actual conversations in the real world, as I have so much to offer. I was a counsellor in a former life.
I learned from Buddhism to take more interest in your subject than in yourself, to treat every human being as a special creation, and to understand that each and every one of them have parents who love them dearly. I was also taught to have great compassion for all of mankind, yes, that includes even the gobshites amongst us.
This I do as standard procedure now. When I am old beyond belief, if I am so lucky, and in a mobility scooter or wheel chair, I hope that a hot young female bodybuilder or suchlike takes an interest in me. The aged have a habit of being invisible to the young and sprightly. It’s a young man’s world, so they say, an young white man’s world; well, I’m big and black and getting on a bit with my stiff bones but I’m here to stay, I don’t care who owns it.
THE WAY I SEE IT, this cosmos and world we inhabit are just a construct of my imagination. None of it would exist if I weren’t here. I walk around as if I own the joint. It has to be this way. Its loads of fun, there’s no harm done, and nobody stops you. It’s kind of a retaliation to Mind Kontrol. When this mean universe takes a lifelong dump all over your force, the self has a habit of sticking up for itself. Call it the superego if you will. Even a planet full of international agents have a hard time putting it down. That’s even with several crippling addictions which cause it to ruin itself and make it doubly easy for them to stick the proverbial lead wellington boot in. Is it ever job done, in crushing this poor individual? Far from it.
Saying I own it and all that, I’m half serious. Sometimes, not often, I look around in the pub and feel like ‘these are my people’. There’s order, it’s civil, there’s no savagery, it’s serene and peaceful. There’s something missing, because nobody is overly friendly to another, we’re all still a touch ignorant, but it’s evolution, it could be a lot worse, I’ll settle for it. It’s far from militia law, and therefore beautiful in a way. Everyone just seems to…get on.
I recall being sat in a fellowship meeting and letting loose several tears from my eye. God’s children were just so amazing, in all their different ways.
If I could see myself the way I see others, instead of wrecking myself with silly addiction, the battle would be over with.
