Hello my friends. Not knowing the truth of life isn’t worth dying for. But knowing the truth of life is. Will you die knowing?

There once was a man who didn’t know. He built walls around himself, to feel secure. To fill the void he made these barriers. Soon, however, they became his trap. He was so consumed in keeping these barriers up that he forgot that he didn’t know the truth. Eventually he was blinded by these walls to the point in which he could not escape. I’m here to tell you that that man is us. WE don’t know the truth and its killing us…we feel the emptiness. I don’t feel the emptiness, no I know the truth. We are born, and we know nothing. We go to school, in hopes of learning something…but we learn nothing. We strive for good achievements in order to go to work, where we strive to climb the ladder in order to get money, which we think will make us happy, we know nothing. Millions of lives are lost, building barriers, striving to know the truth. There’s an easier way. But the world doesn’t tell you that. MTV doesn’t tell you that. Hollywood doesn’t tell you that. The government doesn’t tell you that. They can’t tell you the truth, they are too busy trying to find it themselves. And they will force you to follow the system because they don’t want you to find something that they already know they have failed to find. Money wont fulfill your desire, the truth will. The truth will set you free, but you have no idea where to start. I’m warning you, don’t follow the system. Do your job, get good grades, try your hardest…none of the aforementioned are avoidable, give the system what it wants…but not because you have to. If they know you are quitting the system you are dead to them. You can’t let them see that you have won and still win. Fail their tests…and they will make you pay. Because they think they know the truth. Forgive them for their blindness, and succeed. Let them think you are one of them, get close to them. Sometimes whispers are easier to hear than shouts. You must please them, and then maybe, just maybe you can tell them the truth. But not until I have told you. You aren’t ready yet, but in due time you will know it all.

P.S.- I will not be silenced

I think you're taking your realizations and making them too complicated. Yes, there are lots of social webs that people get stuck in for no reason. No need to say so in a conspiracy tone.

But that is just myself [Smile] . Welcome!

You have already silenced yourself. Why else do you whisper?

well, hmmm

when I am working with a group of kids, directing a show or something, and tell them to take their places silently, and they start whispering as they go to their places, I send them baack and have them do it again, and again if needed until they do it silently. Quiet and silent are different.

Oh it is not a control freak thing... the audience can hear whispers backstage, and the performers need to learn to be silent before the show!

"P.S.- I will not be silenced"

You will probably be ignored, however. Nothing you're saying struck me as particularly enlightened.

Paragraphs are instruments of Truth, for yea, verily, they permit people to read thy work without getting headaches. When you insist on spewing out single blocks of text like that, you might as well have been silenced, for nobody will listen.

If we merged Thor's old posts and Whisperer's one post, would we get a normal paragraph structure?

We might get normal paragraph structure, but it wouldn't make it any more parseable.....

Is parseable even a word?

Yo Whisperer -

I used to think, just like you, that I was the only one who made a million brilliant observations every day.

Well, guess what I found?

There are a million people out there who really do make a million observations a day, each of which is as brilliant, or, more likely, more brilliant than your own.

No need to talk about "the truth" in your mysterious, cryptic, and pretentious tone. We already know. Welcome to Hatrack.
