| Introduction | I have finally discovered that there can be so much more to life. After having spent 15 years in standardized, conventional educational institutions (w/ curriculum designed to standardize us), I've realized the dire need to reprogram myself with the TRUTH. To forget everything that I was taught, none of that matters now. Forget that society has given me the "choice" between a college degree, the military, or the workforce. There is an alternative option. Give away all that I own, travel with no destination, change the lives of everyone that I meet, allow my life to be changed by them as well, believe in something with an undying passion, meditate, breathe easy, love without boundaries, disconnect from the "reality" that society has created, grow my own food, watch the sunrise from a different rooftop every morning, respect all life. My (And Your, OUR) existence can be so much more beautiful than we've ever imagined. |
