Goatboy says...



"The world is like a ride at an amusement park.And when you choose to go on it, you think that it's real because that's how powerful our minds are.And the ride goes up and down and round and round.It has thrills and chills, and it's very brightly colored, and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question-is this real, or is this just a ride?And other people have remembered,and they come back to us.They say, Hey! Don't worry,don't be afraid, ever, because, this is just a ride.And we...kill those people.We have a lot invested in this ride.Look at my furrows of worry.Look at my big bank account and my family.This has to be real...It's just a ride.But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok.But it doesn't matter because it's just a ride.And we can change it any time we want.It's only a choice. No effort,no work, no job,no savings and money.A choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off.The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one.Here's what we can do to change the world,right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defence each year, and instead spend it feeding, clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay many times over, not one human being excluded, and we would explore space, together, both inner and outer, for ever, in peace."

Bill Hicks (1961-1994)
