Parting Out the Wreck - Apathy Inc.

I had a dentist appointment yesterday morning, I set up the cleaning and work etc... Then on my way home I decided to stop by a meeting I rarely attend anymore, the mix of toxicity a little too much to take at times. There were a few people that had known me from my beginnings in recovery, and I shared a bit. When, after I shared one of those people said they knew me, would do anything for me, but disagreed with something I had said. I didn't care if they disagreed, that was a given really, it was the part when they said they knew me, that is what stood out in my mind the most. So in pondering these things like I do, I really had to disagree with that statement.

I have been tested medically and intellectually to find out about this Gifted business. I have passed with flying colors so to speak in their testing. So if it is a real thing then I definitely have it, and if there are others like me, which there are, they have it too. Now this person that was speaking of me is not the same make and model of us Homo Sapiens as I am. I am an introvert and an artist, this person was an extrovert with extreme OCD behavior. In my opinion is would be nearly impossible for this person to comprehend me and my life, mindset. It is just not built into his program and cannot be taught in this societal model of today. I can readily encompass in my observations and empathy what it is like to be them, but not the other way around. We do no training in this, we are raised for the most part to believe that the human model is as straight as a book's binding and everything else is of the pale and outliers. Society even has a formulaic equivalency test, you do this, then that, then that, and you get to choose this or that. It doesn't work perfectly every time, so those mistakes are the price the rest of them have to pay, until it is inconvenient.

Today marks the day when that choice has been made. A gathering of troglodytes dictating the way things are to people they do not know. I know what the phony vote tallies said, I know that the majority president is actually the minority viewpoint made bigger by falsehoods and downright lies and indignation. The thing that awaits now is the slow peeling of the duct taped eyes, the painful realization of the truth in all details. The cutting away at the very pieces and people that has held this fabric together for so long. It will happen today, it will happen tomorrow, and for nothing but the love and power it will continue until we either live as soulless kings and queens. Or fall to the gutters in our uneducated attempts at coping with a world that was VR'ed into frail hearts and minds. As we roll into the Service Generation, and the model we are using is the one from a different time, a different and unknowing mindset. We will part out this wreck and follow the advice of a far off dictator, a fallen land who wishes nothing but to defeat us in all our forms. This is by far the most tragic of wrecks, following the most heinous road in a land built for the long haul, not some magical Monster Truck that is only good for one show, one roll of the dice.

Forgive them their sins for they know no better, their evidence an illusion, their indignation misplaced and their carburetors missing some vital parts. They know not of a world of others, the world is but unto them and them alone, the pattern must be upheld, the Edsel's must be produced en masse. The factories will be subject to relocation, the empty buildings simply a beacon to another time. The fabric that covered the interior reduced to a torn out and molded example of elegance and duty, honor and humanity. And we will drive them proudly into that unknown country - the future with our noses plugged and our heads held high and mighty. The empathy gene is non functioning and I am afraid with little more work it will be turned off for generations to follow. The cold hearted future of robots simply replaced with the robots made of us. The genome a playbook now, forget any courts, it is the programming that is at play now more than anything.

Not simply parting out the pieces that we were graced and have given all for, but parting of the people into disposable and invaluable status's. With all of those in between falling into the cracks of either their own making or simply society's. What will be left will yet to be known, it will be a much hollower existence, it will be a much unhappier environment, life at its baseline, and kept there. It will not be what you can afford, affordability will be nonexistent, it will simply be what you can grab and hold onto. Our parts failing, our division our downfall, with all hopes that our parts can hold together we may yet get another chance to travel down this road to progress. The silver lining may be an end to the mentality that got us here again, once and for all. The claims of power meaning nothing when the masses move the other way pushing the Edsel we have yet to improve forward into this new millennium. The greatest of humanity will rise above the madness, and to borrow a phrase from a recent time, this will be the beginning of an American Spring, a beginning of the knowledge that the thing we must take back is not our government, but ourselves. Our honor, our ongoing oath and duty to that lady in New York's harbor torch. To the memories of those who fought for liberty and freedom for what those things really mean, not the definitions being made today, in private, in some board room or limo backseat.

In the dismantling of our greatest endeavors, our greatest honors, we will not profit from it in the end. For that hollow existence will cost us more than we will ever know as we go silently into that good night. While parting out the future to Apathy Incorporated.
