I wish I could achieve more - but there is a very serious difficulty in trying to achieve anything. Self loathing, anxiety, the need for approval. All these things can hamper the intellectually uncertain.
I think that the disillusionment with the entire political gamut leads one to want to try new things. I suppose I want to try new things. New things have a glow about them, an excitement that builds up and grows and possibly inflates into something recognisable, and in some ways desperately, crushingly old. Such is the way of the new. Mostly the new deflates under the sheer weight of it's oldness - or the lack of its actual newness. There are no new ideas, for example. Nothing new under the sun, they say. All this is true and yet we must, eternally, strive to abolish what is broken and what has been proven not to perform best in aiding the revolution.
So trusting myself not a jot - I want to ask the people around me, and in front of me, how they want to govern themselves. No mean feat. I want to create a movement or an idea that can grow and spread or collapse, or never begin. Whatever happens I wish to try. I cannot succeed alone, nor would I ever try. So please, if you want to see a better world for our people, let us make something "new". The money will come if the consensus is strong enough, and the voice loud enough. There are at least seven people who wish to see the world change. Seven people - fancy that. With hard work that could become seven hundred, and then seven thousand, seven million, and seven billion. Imagine seven billion people. It's hard to imagine. It's harder still to stand by and let the world destroy the future and the present of seven billion people.
If you want to build a better world then you're not alone, but you can't just want it. You have to be stupid enough, and brave enough to make it happen.
Let's try again.
