Sharing something I read at a hostel in Phnom Penh while I was spacing out on a beanbag. Sounds trippy but it's got some great points.
Here's the text:
The world is like a ride in an amusement park, and when
you choose to go on it you think it's real because
that's how powerful our minds are and the ride
goes up and down and round and round. And it has
thrills and chills and it is very brightly colored, and it's
very loud. And it's fun, for a while.
Some people have been on the ride for a long time and
they've begun to question, "Is this real or is this just a ride?"
and other people have remembered and they've come back to us
and they say, "Hey don't worry. Don't be afraid, ever, because
THIS IS JUST A RIDE." And WE KILL THOSE PEOPLE.
"Shut him up! We have a lot invested in this ride! Shut him up!"
"Look at my furrows of worry. Look at my big bank account, and
my family. This just has to be real."
IT'S JUST A RIDE
But we will always kill those good guys who try and tell us that.
You ever noticed that? And let the demons run amok. But it
doesn't matter because it's just a ride.
And we can change it anytime we want. It's only a choice.
No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. A choice, right now,
between fear and love. The eyes of fear wants you to put bigger
locks on your door, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love
instead see all of us as one.
Here's what we can do right now to change the world, to a better ride:
Take all that money we spend on weapons and defense
each year and instead spend it feeding, clothing, and educating
the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one
human being excluded, and we can explore space, together, both
inner and outer, forever... In peace...
