I Like a Good Quote

This quote pretty much exemplifies what people within most of society now subscribe to. So many people don’t give a crap anymore. They stand down, glued to a cell phone, lost within an existence. Emptying their soul with irrelevant things, fearing substance and truth.

Most people don’t live with purpose anymore, they reject anything which requires effort, character and virtue. They stand for nothing but cliches, lies and the massaging of their own ego.

God help those who have been bullied into submission, afraid to act, whose very speech and thoughts have been stifled and lost forever within a black hole. A dystopian society which now exists only to promote a cult-like behavior of group “thought.”

“We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history, there "is" such a thing as being too late. This is no time for apathy or complacency. This is a time for vigorous and postive action.” -Martin Luther King Jr.-

Context: The character Mike Campbell in the 1926 novel “The Sun Also Rises” was asked about his money troubles and responded with a vivid description embracing self-contradiction:

“How did you go bankrupt?” Bill asked.
“Two ways,” Mike said. “Gradually and then suddenly.”
“What brought it on?”
“Friends,” said Mike. “I had a lot of friends. False friends. Then I had creditors, too. Probably had more creditors than anybody in England.”]
