ALWAYS

This is a wonderful sentiment. Always has the glorious feeling of permanence to it. But since little in life ever stays the same the word just doesn’t find a lot of substance in our experience.

So how come we get hung up on talking as if always is a reality? Because it sounds so darn good!

Which is the part of life that “always” gives me a reason to smile I guess. After all what fun is life if we can’t cling to a few fairy tales?

I see it all the time. People talk about wanting the truth, but boy do we love any lies that give us a chance to ignore it.

Which is probably why I cling to this little marvelous word as much as possible. Life is a lot of things, but it just seems most of the time that just doesn’t translate into experience.

In the meantime we can celebrate all those hard working and creative souls who invent the truth so we don’t have to. They love to paint with that lovely shade of fabrication white wash that looks so great in covering up the truth. I’m proud of the great job they do!

Why think about it. If it wasn’t for the cinematic gurus and those sitcom wizards where would we be? Always would be some mirage we could never believe in. It wouldn’t even be worth thinking about.

Instead we can pollute out systems with heart clogging crap, let are arteries harden, put of reality as long as possible and kick back to veg out while watching some movie. Oh yeah, you can talk all you want about the American way, but I’m sure you will never hear about it mentioned as being involved in devoting so much effort “always” finding new ways to avoid life.

And think about how this makes us true leaders in the world. They hate us or so they claim for the way we abuse the environment and the rest of humanity. But let’s be realistic, deep down what gripes them the most is we are just better at manipulating the facts to keep our always nice and safe in some glass container where nobody can touch it.

So be proud folks. You have every reason to be. We are in the history books of greatness when it comes to knowing how to be the kind of dreamers others have a reason to envy.

If by chance some day (hopefully not in my life time) that somebody succeeds in utterly destroying our fabric of lies and we have the whole thing crash around us, we can still smile. For we have enough practice at lying about always nobody will even notice at our end.
