The worst thing is not that the world is not free, but that people have not learned their liberty. How to live in a world with which you disagree? How to live with people when you neither share their suffering nor their joys? When you know that you don’t belong to them. Our century refuses to acknowledge anyone’s right to disagree with the world.
So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservation, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality, nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future.
Doomed is the world that seeks security,
Trashed is the face that lacks humanity,
I stare at people when they go around
Trying to find a poem in their stride
A reason in their walks
Season on their face
But as often I think
Nothing Happens
Just the survival of the fittest
where I always lose!
