You can Be whatever you Want to Be
<p>If you’re reading this and think I’m wrong.<br />
Society has succeeded in its demolition operation.<br />
Taking everything and leaving you nothing.<br />
Taking away your ability to dream and wonder.<br />
Sucking out all your individuality, turning it into an innocuous moving force.<br />
Taking away what makes you human: your freedom to hope.</p>
<p>This society is a great force.<br />
Its aim is to make you live your life as a spectator.<br />
It needs your strength to feed its own.<br />
To accept your destiny rather than build it.<br />
It pushes each of us to be a sailor on a gigantic ship.<br />
A ship so big we can’t even see the sea, or the world around us.<br />
Our role is to maintain this cursed galley. To row, to repair.<br />
Forced to go where she wants to go.</p>
<p>When you think you can’t be what you want to be.<br />
That you’re forced to be this sailor lost in the middle of a sea: society has succeeded.<br />
You’re no longer part of the world but only of the crew of this boat.<br />
You can no longer fight,<br />
You feel trapped, no way out.<br />
You watch the other sailors redouble their efforts to keep this boat boat alive.<br />
You convince yourself this is your place.</p>
<p>The first step is to become aware.<br />
You are on the boat.<br />
You are not the boat.<br />
Because sailors think they can’t escape doesn’t mean you can’t.<br />
Believing you can’t is believing what they need you to believe.<br />
That you’re an inoffensive being, incapable even of choosing how you want to live.</p>
