Archetypes of the Conscious: Paraphrasing the Parasites that plague my mind
"I once read; if a person talks too much, he risks his words having little or no weight at all. I find it ironic that someone who talks so much would call himself a writer."
Archetypes of the Conscious Paraphrasing the Parasites that plague my mind . When my good friend and fellow seeker of truth Dr. Beast first asked me to write an 'article' for the site I was reluctant, after all what do I know about writing an 'article'? After much thought and since someone had to eventually write an 'article', call it 'cohesion of conscience', I decided to try my hand at it.
So I begin. But begin where? Now I am in a difficult situation because a subject is obviously required if one desires to write. Since I have always been able to get out of the difficult situations I habitually create I will continue writing and see where it leads us. A subject is not the only issue that needs be addressed however, there is also the issue of language. Should I continue writing in clear concise English or Ebonics? It would seem that most who sign the guest book would prefer the latter however, the former being my native language and also much easier to write in, is the logical decision. Finally, there is the question of format for this article. Of format I must claim ignorance.
This lack of knowledge disturbs me little though, due to the simple fact that I have little respect for journalism both in the written and televised form. Journalism, for the most part, feeds negativity to the masses and breeds ignorance because it belittles mankinds ability to seek his own answers for his questions. There are, of course, exceptions; this article being proof. Everything contained within this article may easily be verified by yourself. This being said, why is it then that some people are so proud to be interviewed by the media and the mercilessly exploited on the 6 PM news? You are not an advertisement - some kind of walking billboard. If people are so consumed by the adversities of contemporary society that they cannot stop for just a fraction of their day to read the writing on the wall then it is hardly worth your or my time explaining anything to them - more specifically why it is people write on walls. What is the typical psyche of a graffiti writer? After careful consideration, I have concluded that there is no typical psyche - graffiti writers write on walls for all sorts of reasons. I've even met all kinds of graffiti writers; fat, slim, stupid, sensible, rich, poor, preoccupied, conscious, ignorant, intelligent, lazy, ambitious, egoist, and humble. There is no common mentality. This doesn't take a genius - just read the guest book on this site. And if you sign the guest book then you were lucky enough to be one of the specimens included in my analysis.
The results; unfortunately are positive - infectious gossip. Recently with no involvement of my own whatsoever, I myself have been a helpless victim in what I would call a small-minded persons plague, more commonly called gossip. It would seem that this disease, which I have found to be chronic in some graffiti writers, has become quite trendy - more so that the act of graffiti itself. I am not going to describe in details this particular incident because to do so would be a waste of both our time. I will say however that when this disease goes around, it tells you a lot about the originators of this gossip - like where their heads are. I once read; if a person talks too much, he risks his words having little or no weight at all. I find it ironic that someone who talks so much would call himself a writer. Some of you should read this 'article' at least three times; first to yourself, then aloud to yourself so you fully comprehend it, then to your good friends and associates. I say this because I wrote this 'article' for not only your health but also for the health of those closest to you.
In closing I would like to say peace to the H.U.M.A.N.I.T.Y crew; representing goodwill; live and direct from Earth; I still love this planet; there isn't anywhere else quite like it!
