You can Be whatever you Want to Be

If you’re reading this and think I’m wrong. Society has succeeded in its demolition operation. Taking everything and leaving you nothing. Taking away your ability to dream and wonder. Sucking out all your individuality, turning it into an innocuous moving force. Taking away what makes you human: your freedom to hope. This society is a great force. Its aim is to make you live your life as a spectator. It needs your strength to feed its own. To accept your destiny rather than build it. It pushes each of us to be a sailor on a gigantic ship. A ship so big we can’t even see the sea, or the world around us. Our role is to maintain this cursed galley. To row, to repair. Forced to go where she wants to go. When you think you can’t be what you want to be. That you’re forced to be this sailor lost in the middle of a sea: society has succeeded. You’re no longer part of the world but only of the crew of this boat. You can no longer fight, You feel trapped, no way out. You watch the other sailors redouble their efforts to keep this boat boat alive. You convince yourself this is your place. The first step is to become aware. You are on the boat. You are not the boat. Because sailors think they can’t escape doesn’t mean you can’t. Believing you can’t is believing what they need you to believe. That you’re an inoffensive being, incapable even of choosing how you want to live. This first step is important. As long as you don’t believe you can do something, you can’t do it. You need to light that little flame that will change everything. It may be tiny, but as soon as it’s lit, the little fire can be tapped… and turned into a blazing inferno. The end of this first step is to get off the boat. And hoist our sail. <a href="https://medium.com/@viam_/you-can-be-whatever-you-want-to-be-2ca9b95b0bc8">Learn More</a>
