The world is like a ride at an amusement park.
\nAnd when you choose to go on it,
\nyou think that it’s real because that’s how powerful our minds are.
\nAnd the ride goes up and down and round and round.
\nIt has thrills and chills,\u00a0and it’s very brightly coloured, and it’s very loud and it’s fun, for a while.
\nSome people have been on the ride for a long time,and they begin to question –
\n? is this real, or is this just a ride?<\/strong>
\nAnd other people have remembered, and they come back to us.
\nThey say ‘Hey! Don’t worry, don’t be afraid, ever, because, this is just a ride.’
\nAnd we… Kill those people.
\nHa ha ha.
\n‘Shut him up! We have a lot invested in this ride.
\nSHUT HIM UP!
\nLook at my furrows of worry.
\nLook at my big bank account and family.
\nThis just has to be real.
\n‘It’s just a ride.
\nBut we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that?
\nAnd let the demons run amok.
\nBut it doesn’t matter because: … it’s just a ride.
\nAnd we can change it anytime we want.<\/strong>
\nIt’s only a choice.
\nNo effort, no work, no job, no savings, and money.
\nA choice, right now, between Fear and Love.<\/strong>
\nThe eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors,\u00a0buy guns, close yourselves off.
\nThe eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one.
\nHere’s what you can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride.
\nTake all that money that we spend on weapons and defence each year,\u00a0and instead spend it feeding, clothing and educating the poor of the world,\u00a0which it would many times over, not one human being excluded,\u00a0and we could explore space, together,\u00a0both inner and outer,\u00a0for ever, in Peace.<\/p>\n

Bill Hicks.<\/p>\n
