The life of a madman

Water.

The funny concept of control. The ability to be on control of something or someone means as much as a word. You could say it, but at the end of the day you put meaning to it. So someone can only be "in control" if you admit that they are. Some people say that free will is a lie. Being free isn't a physical state. It's an emotional and mental state of mind. A prisoner could run free in the boundless meadows and plains of their mind, and someone with the ability to walk, think, speak freely could feel trapped. Like inside a little box, or a cage. And what happens if you cage something for too long? It begins to bear it's teeth and fight for it's freedom. The people who are "in control" see this and apply more pressure or control. Let's say free will and freedom is water, and control is the pressure. What happens when you apply pressure to water? It's spreads, wides and disperses. But it doesn't disappear. Then you let off the pressure just a little. The water starts flowing. You put up a dam. The water flows harder and knocks down your dam. You place heavy boulders in the way, completely blocking off the path, no way around. Water always finds a way. It may take a long time, but water will always keep flowing. You can try to be in control, but eventually the water will win.

There are four things that make up a room. The floor, walls, roof and the supports in the walls. There are also four kinda of people. The floor, the people who let you walk all over them and catch you when you fall. The walls, the people who box you in, cage you and stop you. The roof, people who think themselves above everyone else, but one day they will collapse. And the most important, fundamental person? The supports. The people who hold everything together and keep the whole thing from collapsing. But they are concealed, hidden from view. Find these people. Shake their hands, hug them, say thank you. But remember, you can't have a room without all four things. These four things build everything that we own. It's what makes a person, human. It's what separates us from the rest and makes us special and gives us that ability to stand out. If you can't find your place in this world, make your own.

You cannot contain something that does not want to be held down. You cannot kill a free spirit. You can douse that flame all you want. But there will always be that small ember, burning bright with passion, love and the desire for freedom and the will to reach out and take it. That's the clicker. The spark that will reignite the ember into a beautiful flame, but at the same time a destructive blaze. Few can walk through this hellfire and come out the other end unscathed. Unbothered by the heat, flames or ashes. They are the ones who are ready, able and willing to fight for freedom, to their dying breath. Ready to defend the idea, the concept of freedom with their very lives. They cannot fail, because free will can never be subdued. They choose to fight with the idea and have the stomach to stand up and fight with the notion of freedom. Willing to lay their life down to protect their loved ones from the control of others. Other who have no right to be in control or any form of power.

Water cannot be stopped. It cannot be held, strapped down or contained. It cannot be "put down" like a sickly animal. You cannot just become water, you have to be born with that instinctual spark. But you can obtain that same spark, by fighting to be free. Be in control of your own actions, your own voice, your own hands, your own mind, your own body, your own feet, your own self. If you feel like you don't belong, that's because the world isn't ready for your kind of spirit. Their not prepared to handle all of your crazy, wacky, out-of-this-world-drive-through-on-the-moon ideas. Impossible in their minds. Visible through your eyes. Playable with your heart. Changeable with your mind. Achievable with your hands, body and will power.

Water is pure and clear of it's purpose. To make the world we live in, liveable and loveable. To make each and everyday a new and different adventure each and every time. To change he way we speak, think and act. To completely change our perspective on everything.

But remember. We can't have one, without the other.
