Midnight talk with an anarchist

I will devote my life to getting to know anyone I come across who has it in their eyes. It's a spark, exciting me, enticing me to dance their dance of perspective. Share with me your brain, your background, and I'll be that much more accomplished. On my own accord.

No matter how typical yuppie or "tortured soul" someone looks, there's some other side of them. I got into a convo with the most gentle activist/social justice seeker in the world. Rather than suffocate me with biased non-negotiables, he offered insight. He facilitated, something he claims modern capitalist society downplays. Conversations are taught to be pointless nowadays, philosophy gets you nowhere. It's so engrained. Maybe philosophy gets us nowhere because we're not taught to appreciate the journey there. The journey there connects our souls, that goes without saying. People are too caught up trying to preach, to come out on top, rather than listen and understand. Humanity is flawless until we taint that with our judgements. I don't want to judge anymore, I want to discover that spark in everyone's eyes.

"People forget how one person can make a difference". Another useless humanitarian mantra? I think not. Maybe communism when applied to our everyday is impossible, but the thought is there. The thought is that people believe there's something more. An alternative to making money, branding ourselves, competition. wasting money on useless nothings that consequently make the already impoverished more poor, and the ungrateful more obese. "But loook at the evidence, a redistribution of wealth is impossible, improbable, and deeply flawed". We're working on it, but it's a thought. Don't downplay thoughts for hard fact! That's worst than 2nd degree murder in my eyes

The "dead hand of history", dictating to us what's right and wrong, without giving us a chance to figure this out on our own, is deafening. Without given a chance to cry out, our minds are surpressed. They need to roam. It's only natural. Everyone is a goddamn adventurer, and that's why this world is full of antidepressants and self destruction, because we're trained from the womb to contradict the yearning of our souls.

EXCERPT:
[He claims that he once ran a tattoo parlor in New Orleans, and made as much as five hundred dollars a week in it during Mardi Gras. Why did he give it up? "Why does anyone do anything?" he says.]
