The world is like a ride in an amusement park and when we choose to go on it we think it's real, because thats's how powerful our minds are. And it goes up and down and round and round, it has chills and thrills and its very brightly colored and very loud, and it's fun - for a while.
Some people have been on the ride for a long time and after a while they begin to question: Is this real, or is it just a ride? But some people have remembered and they come back to us and they say. "Hey, don't worry and don't be afraid ever, because this is just a ride" and we kill those people... "Shut him up! Ive got a lot invested in this ride. Look at my furrows of worry, Look at my big bank account and look at my family. This has to be real"
But it's just a ride.
But we always kill those good guys who try to tell us that and let the demons run amok. But it doesnt matter, because it's just a ride, and we can change it anytime we want. All we need is the choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings or money just a choice - right now - between fear & love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns and and close yourself off, the eyes of love instead, see all of us as one.
Here's what we can do to change the world to a better ride right now. Take all the money we spend on weapons and defence every year and instead spend it feeding, clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one human being excluded and we can explore space together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.
- Bill Hicks (1961 - 1994)
