Your inability to achieve solitude makes you settle for substandard
relationships
You don't believe magic is possible in lives lived within traditional
boundaries
You disguise your laziness as pride
You are paralyzed by the fact that cruelty is often amusing
You pretend to be more eccentric than you actually are because you
worry you are an interchangeable cog
You mistake motion for growth and are lured into vexing situations
You defend other people's ideas at the expense of your own
You still don't know what you do well
You are unable to visualize yourself in a future
Your inability to sustain sexual interest in just one other person
drains your life of the possibility of intimacy
Your own ability to rationalize your bad deeds makes you believe
the entire universe is as amoral as yourself
You willfully ignore the small, gentle observations in life
which you know are the most important
Your fear of change is too clearly visible in your eyes
You are wasting your youth, your time and your money because you
won't acknowledge your shortcomings
Your refusal to acknowledge the dark side of humanity makes you
prey to that dark side
You worry that if you lower your guard, even for one second, your
whole world will disintegrate into chaos
You wait for fate to bring about the changes in life which you should
be bringing about yourself
You are dazed by the ease with which obliteration can be obtained
You feel you have more memories than you have energy to process those
memories
You are unable to differentiate between facade and substance
I am afraid of the Dark Ages
Let's just hope we accidentally build God
Imagine
yourself
befriending
a monster
You are never far
from
the sound of
an engine
Grow
a
tail
We're all
theme parks
Technology
favours
horrible people
Only
democracy
saves us from
the ravage
of
being animals
