I ask for discussion; you quote from the rulebook.

I ask for acknowledgement; you perform a song and dance.

I ask for consideration; you file a report.

I ask for justice; you make excuses.

I ask for compassion; you condescend.

I ask for empathy; you mewl.

I ask for goodness; you give me 37 cents.

I ask for a thinker; you send me a cop.

I ask for philosophy; you offer me bubble gum.

I ask why; you are silent.

Most people equate thinking outside the box with taking their head out of the sand for a minute. Guess what!? You’re still standing inside the box! And it will take you more than a minute to think at any level of consequence, much less find your way outside the box! I am so terribly disappointed in the predictably constant superficiality of Humanity.

• Where there is Humanity, there will always be varying degrees of power.
• Where there is Humanity, there should be Goodness, Compassion, Empathy, Justice.
• Where there is power, there is advantage.
• Where there is power, there is a desire for status quo.
• Where there is status quo, there is superficiality.
• Where there is advantage, Goodness, Compassion and Empathy will be random and sporadic, and there will never be justice.
• Where there is advantage, there will always be subservience.
• Where there is subservience, there will always be varying degrees of delusion.
• Where there is delusion, there is status quo.
• Where there is subservience, there should be rebellion.
• Where there is rebellion, there is a desire for change and improvement.
• Where there is improvement, there is Goodness, Compassion, Empathy, Justice.
• Where there is (even a hint of) rebellion, there is a reassertion of authority.
• Where there is a reassertion of authority, there is a gauntlet.
• Where there is actual rebellion there is a likelihood of failure.
• Where there is failed rebellion, there is status quo.
• Where there is status quo, there is power.
• Where there is a successful rebellion, there is a new order of Humanity.
• Where there is Humanity, there will always be varying degrees of power.

So if it only brings us back to where we began, why rebel? I believe, because, at least to some small degree…

• When there is a new order, there is improvement.
• When there is improvement, there is Goodness, Compassion, Empathy, Justice.
• When there is improvement, there is encouragement.
• When there is encouragement, there is possibility.
• When there is possibility, there is effort.
• When there is effort, there is a desire for change and improvement.
• When there is a desire for change and improvement, there will be rebellion.
• When there is successful rebellion, there is another new order of Humanity.

So, I ask for rebellion.

Beyond the rulebook, beyond excuses, beyond superficiality, beyond delusion, beyond the status quo, I ask for rebellion.

And again, I ask for rebellion.

Streaming rebellion.

Instead of predictably constant superficiality, predictably constant rebellion.

I ask for rebellion.
