when i was young, i was such a good boy. i had the mischief beaten out of me. teachers, parents, 'friends' - everyone wants you to conform. be someone you aren't. step out of line and you're reprimanded.
now i'm an adult. the only one i really need to conform to is the all-seeing law. but why am i still scared? they say they train elephants by tethering them to a stick from the time they are young. this gives them the illusion that they cannot leave even when they become big and strong. we are all conditioned in the same way.
but now that i can finally think for myself i'm seeing certain things. the ones at the top - they follow no rules. in fact it seems that you need to break them to achieve what they have - power and wealth. they are seemingly above the law. bending reality according to their will.
i've been reading more and more about them. all the while its been inside me. my shadow. the jungian philosophy. for most of us normies, it's been beaten out of us. but for a select few, they are still in touch with their shadow. the shadow is their guiding force. it is an awakening, a wake up call to fight against the horrors you see everyday.
the shadow whispers when you are not in a numb state. when you have these moments of clarity, much like an alcoholic's. it speaks the brutal truth. but the question is, are you willing to listen?
are you brave enough to face your own shadow?
