brief discourse in dissent ...

"what the fuck does it matter anyway?"

"it doesn't. people don't really care. i mean, it's not like how you think it is. there are no other people. you are the only one that exists, and there is no escaping it. you have been fooled because the human mind is a lonely one, and it just wanted company."

"whatever, dude. i could say the exact same shit about you."

"you could, and you would be right. in fact, i am the only one that exists, and i have created you just to figure this out right now. do you get it?"

"no, man. i don't fucking get it. i ask you if i should ditch this bitch for cheating on me, and you feed me some backwoods ass philosophy. you are what is wrong with the world, yo."

"what's wrong with the world, my friend, is the constant denial of the complexities of life and existence, and the ways that we try and deal with them. you put your problems with your girlfriend off on her. it's not her. she didn't cheat on you, you created the situation."

"i didn't fucking create shit. i came home the bitch had this stupid muthafucka's dick in her mouth. and it was like she was waiting for me. fuck, i could have killed them both right there."

"but you didn't. there are really only two explainations. one, that you want this shit to go on. two, that it doesn't really matter to you anyway. in both cases, it is about you. but you go on with the denial. you go on with this notion that there is something in this world that you do not have total control over."

"naw, muthafucka. this ain't right. you are the one in denial. you don't even accept the basic laws of interdependence. one person doesn't exist without others. we need each other, and we create each other's realities. you are the one who is wrong. you pump your clones full of this notion that they are individuals."
