Freedom
Freedom cannot be forced into existence, nor can it be won through painful struggle. Freedom cannot be bought or sold. It has nothing to do with one’s social status; one’s profession is of no consequence. In order for you to accept yourself as you are and live with your soul at peace, you must simply teach yourself to let it be, only then will you discover freedom.-Zuikō Samurai Champloo

Doppelgänger, and all the glorious dead....
"I honestly want to turn this world to mere ash and kill everyone in it..."
I've never really admitted to anyone but I think a lot about death.
Not just in a suicidal sense or one with murderous intentions, but a death in terms of legacy.
Many men speak of new beginnings but I find it necessary to first speak of an end.
The end of corruption, the end of willing weakness, the end of complacency.
We are often fed our thoughts and emotions our likes and dislikes and what we do not collect we inherit partially through osmosis. Now this isn't the results of a scientific study, nor simple conjecture. But the result of simple observation.
A son typically seeks to imitate his father... children dress up in their parents clothes and often (comically) impersonate our "best" traits.
Even though through adolescence we go through the process of self discovery, our ideas are often formed from outside influence.
The ending I seek is not one of destruction one thats sole purpose is a tearing down.
But I seek an apocalypse. An ending that is whole, that is complete that doesn't leave in it's wake pain but one that leaves purity.
And this end has to be birthed first in thought. Society must shift it's line of conscience from imitation to one of creation.
What will be written about us is what happens in our day to day.
even our lives are a mere short story compared to the scope of history.
Be aware of an end.
