open your mind wide to MANIFESTO
Youth are so bossed around by the over 40 brigade it's almost laughable..
What say rise up and make changes - this generation!
Not in a dummy (picket signs) way -
in a very free, concerted, intelligent way. . .
What does this look like?
You tell me. . . Show me. . .
To think! of going through life under gray clouds of stuffy rules (held overhead by folks on there way out) then passing this system of stodginess on to the next batch of impressionable youth and on and on! To think!
and to think of things as they are - here in States (2 of my myspacey friends actually held an art show recently called 'The Uncertain States of America') - how if you try and live a bit outside of 40-hour-a-week box you tend to get slammed with financial thwacks from this angle and that.. go to Uni and it's locked-into-job-to-pay-it-off-loans time! - 5,10 years - run harder on that hampster wheel you sap!
there are exceptions - you who make it without having to sweat under the directives of a team of oldies calling shots from their comfort zones - what's your secret?!
anyway exceptions prove the rule..
Yes, so think of all these teens - locked in colleges (don't get me wrong - it can be good! - have to choose the right school though - which opens the can of 'getting accepted' - yipes!) - think of all the kids fresh graduated - bumbling around in this or that job in big city, wearing their smiles - just barely scraping by with rent - eating raman or some trash to stay alive - - - - - think of how they have such incredible energy, which is often squelched out by these old power mongers who want their cake and wanna eat it to - cocking head back and laughing at the pions running the engine. . . the youth have the capacities to experience peak pleasures - but CAN'T AFFORD to because they are scrambling around trying to fulfill the wishes of old (who lost the capacities [scientifically proven] to experience peak pleasures - things get going downhill after 40) - so all these incredible experiences are being thrown in the laps of white haired folks with $MONEY$. This is how it's been going - and appears to be chugging right along without anyone really rising up and calling a spade a spade. . .
Twenty-somethings, are we contributing to the perpetuation of this egregious cycle!
Will we continue to - as years ebb by..
Rise up!
Stop the insanity!
Face facts - life's a passin' -
Truth sets us free!
Clarity now!!!
ahem..
So how do we go about obtaining greater freedom. . .
Well, it's subjective - so pull the above words into your present context and run with it. . .
Think of the Aussies, who work like 4 hours a day - think how much better they probably know each other- how many more experiences they have - outside the walls of a stressy office...
Think of the Swiss and the Germans - who have these wonderful CHUNKS (like a whole month) of 'Holiday' they enjoy summer after summer after summer after summer. . . . - then they're carving up the slopes a good 2,3 weeks in the winter.. -
in States it's like tip-toe-on-eggshell up to 50-something boss - who hase full 'power' to can your ass and replace you with some eager beaver, waiting on the wings. . .
Face it! (as nutty as it sounds - due to how cliche the expression has become) The system is whack! Unite to remedy - or it's timid-bunnyhead here on out - years grinded away into timid coffins. . .
Stand up and fight for freedom - grueling as the battle might be -
the tougher the struggle, the sweeter the victory!
