Rain, Violence and The Shadow Self

in #blog8 years ago

It's 8 o'clock in the afternoon. It's already dark and I can hear the rain clearly.

I like to open my windows at least for some minutes, to let the fresh air come in the house. There's something beautiful about the storm. It's an obvious contrast between our sheltered lives and the fury of nature.

When Was The Last Time You Felt Alive

And I am not talking about energy. I am talking about experiencing your primal insticts. We are so disconnected from that reality, i reckon some people don't even understand what I am describing.

It's this feeling of ultimate awarness. You can see and touch everything around you. You are part of nature, yet also a destructive agent of Hers.

Humans are the most violent and capable animals. We were killers for most of our existence. We try to hide it, but it's still there. In this day and age, everyone tries to convince us that humans are "loving creatures, peacful and every form of violence is an abnormality".

No honey, every moment we don't kill each other is an "abnormality". Statistically speaking, we should be gutting each other for food.

We are not living peacefully because we are good, we are living peacefully inspite the fact we are evil.

Modern society has pushed down our natural insticts. The reason is that the same side responsible for the most unspeakable horrors, is also responsible for the most beautiful achievements.

But now we are guilty of our side. Instead of facing our Shadow, understanding what it is and where it's coming from, we shy away. We feel guilty for admiting we are humans. And when inevitably this Side of yourself emerges, all hell breaks loose, because it's the first time you meet each other.

"I was blinded by my emotions", says the perfectly peaceful and timid teacher, after he murdered a stranger at a bar,"I don't know what got to me, maybe I am crazy".

I am not talking about repressed anger, that'd be a lukewarm characterization. I am talking about the need to hunt, conquer, dominate, seduce and fuck. The ugly side. The one you feel guilty about.

Humanity is trying to cope by playing video games, watching movies and porn. Both males and females are numbing themselves, because they never get in touch with the Shadow.

For you knucklehead, that you're going to comment I am pro-violence, try to pull your head out of you overweight ass. Admit you're capable of evil and death and chaos. Observe your thought patterns and open the gates. Face that ugly mosnter deep inside you that wants to get out and shred everything... and converse. Talk. Negotiate. Keep it well fed and ready to use it when shit hits the fan.

It's human. Open your window and howl in the sky like a wolf "AWOOOO....AWOOO".

Let the rain hit your face and fuel you with nature's power. Touch the world. Be free of guilt and concstriction.

P.S- Did your neighbours hear you howling? Mine did and their dog started barking. Now i regret it because it doesn't stop for fuck's sake. Littl hairy devil.

Sort:  

We are not living peacefully because we are good, we are living peacefully inspite the fact we are evil.

So true ... and pretending we are intelligent. Kind of a paradox, isn't it.
