First Things First

Our strength is determined by the strength of our enemies. The instigator in the form of the dark dove makes late appearance yesterday but is unable to maintain a hold over me for long. He does stress me out enough to the point where I feed the Guardian of my dreams twice with little hesitation. I asked forgiveness this morning for my act of selfishness because as I take more and more control over my destiny, I take on more responsibility for my action. I understand that in the beginning and up until a short time ago I could have considered myself the innocent victim but no more. I have been systematically eliminating excuses for why any selfish act must be justified. That the 'looking out for number one' raison D'etere (reason for being) is a trick, a ruse, a base manipulation of the immature ego.
Ask your self who is putting us in competition with one another and is that same who benefiting from our competitiveness? Who wins when you buy that sports car, so that your the first leaving every stoplight? Who wins when choosy Mom's chooses Jiff? Are they implying that only a mom that cares the most for their kids buy Jiff ? Sounds like something a con man would do , manipulate our fears and our ego. Who is behind the creation of such unscrupulous tactics? Who is putting these ideas in your head that you must be better than everyone else that you must buy better, live better, consume more? Who ever is selling you that crap in the first place that is who. If you ever want to be more than a demographic. If you ever want to achieve true individuality and independence. Stop buying all that useless worthless crap. Stop buying anything and everything that you can't take with you when you leave this world.
How ignorant are you? How gullible are you to to fall for such base trickery? How gullible was I to feel inferior to anyone with a better car, house or girlfriend? How completely dimwitted must I have to have been to feel empty because I wasn't being herded around by the ego. Told what to buy and how much. Told who to look down upon and for what reason.
Who is going to end this charade? Who is going to wake up and wise up and make that bold declaration? That you are free! That you are no longer the perfect consumer. That you no longer judge your self worth by the gold standard. If you like being first so much be the first to do that.
It's your choice. I won't make it for you. Yet.
