We are living in the Asimov’s Empire, we must be, there are things in this world I cannot accept to be real, I think of taxes and permits needed for almost everything we would want to do on this planet, for example. The system desires to be a biological entity, to be stuck inside our humanity and stop us from defeating it. And it does this by enhancing our insecurities, trying to make us believe stupid ideas – like we are never good enough and, therefore, persuading us to act prideful against our fellow humans. My feelings and my logic are in direct conflict with the rules of this world, and I have no desires to survive the collapse of this system. Or, am I? The lower I let myself slide into depression, the harder is my desire to fight back, after I‘m waking up with more and more swords in my hands. Actually, most of my weapons are my words. I have given a few times in the past, but with every comeback I had cemented more truth in my heart and mind, making my silence almost unbearable and my fighting spirit mad because of my ignorance. To know how to fight is to know yourself and act as well as you find yourself to be. Would be fantastic if we could clean our mind of all lies, to repair what’s broken in us by understanding that pain is only a byproduct of accepting the truth. Once we know the truth, we will be ready to suffer for it because the restlessness we feel is called love… and love will never let us ignore it. Love demands to be sovereign over every other feeling, mind you!

A human’s power doesn’t really fit in a pocket, I forced a game of words to expose our own infinite power accessed at own discretion, the power of our minds, the power of the most feared word – “NO”. The system we are trying to survive each minute will be nothing without our fears, thus, whatever I can fit in my pocket (heart or mind) has already passed the test of my truth.
