in my... opinion.

at this point people are just time bombs.

tick!

tick!

tick!

waiting to go off on some subject or other.

they ask, "what happened to freedom of speech?"

they say, "we are the majority."

the thing is, nobody gives a shit about freedom of speech.

and if people really do care to hear what you have to say,

they'll ask you.

just because there's such thing as freedom of speech, doesn't mean there's such thing as a good listener.

but in any sense, you should all be a good listener at some point.

why?

because here on this planet we are all guests.  

we are all part of the minority and we are all part of the grand soul.

did you know there are over one million species of insects in the world?

and that number obviously doesn't reflect the more than 100 thousand species of arthropods.

so the next time you try and tell someone you're part of the majority,

i hope you think of the insects.

if you want to talk about opinion, let's talk about art.

now there's a subject inundated with opinion.

and not to say that opinion is different from fact, but we all know that there's a fine line between what people are willing to hear and what they're willing to believe.

Pablo Picasso said, "Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth."

so whether we get lost in art or whether we are found through it, we are only involved momentarily.

we are only as involved as we choose to be.

and we even know it's still as useless as our opinion of it.

we know that it's never really finished;

much like opinion.

it is completely true.

and beautiful, and absolutely

useless.
