Imagine yourself going for a walk. In your pocket lays four fifty dollar bills. Your heading for the mall, exited for what you are going to buy. Then you walk pass a homeless man. His cup filled with nothing but lousy change. He looks up at you, smiling. He is not begging for your money, he is simply smiling. What do you do? Do you smile? Do you sit down with him right there on the sidewalk and chat a little? Or do you smile, sit down, and give him one of your fifty dollar bills? In all probability you walk right pass him. And keep your course steady until you get to the wall.
Now imagine yourself standing at work or at school. Right next to you stands four girls teasing or bullying another girl. You stare at the girl’s eyes; you can see she is scared, at the brink of tears. You have seen here before, walking down the hall doing so with a bit of a limp. What do you do? Do you walk right in to the bullying asking them to stop? Or do you simply turn away?
This two things are pretty much everyday things. If you add some more horrific stuff like war, surveillance, human trafficking, drugs, rape, murder, prostitution, child pornography, terror, starvation, poverty and of course children dying from thirst. Well then you really got something. Where am I going with all of this?
Well William S. Burroughs once said “A psychotic is a guy who’s just found out what’s going on”. I somehow believe he was god damn right.
