..the fiery handcuffs.

You are safe.
Oh yes you are safe.
You are protected.
You are protected by a system.
A system that also controls you.
A puppet force of the same system watches over you, also known as the police.

Liberty and freedom do not mean the same thing.
And by freedom I mean political freedom.

Oh yes you are safe.
Especially when you can bribe any ''law-abiding'' official to make sure you win every time, and this the rich and the powerful do.
Respect is what you may call it.
But another principle I see more important in life, honour.

Honour gains respect by following the code the person chooses to follow, not change them whenever something comes up and he has to act to change his fate.
Meanwhile the lower classes are the blind followers and fans of those up there.
Up there does not mean heaven, there is no heaven in a world full of corruption.

You wonder why there is so much bad in this world, oh well just look up!
Many promise to give and share what they gain, but so far I never saw anyone hold on to this.
You might say there is also good in this world, well its good that you are so optimistic as to ignore the bad but we are all humans and bad is what we do.

Id quod nos unit, est id quod nos separet.

..and they call this center, Hunab Ku!

Symbolism in front of us, symbolism all around us.
Did you ever stop and think why thinks seem kind of strangely familiar the way are projected as an image into your brain?

It might never occur to you that the burning cigarette lying on the floor represents your life, as you burn yourself with how you choose to live.
Or how the clouded rays of the sun might represent a message that is trying to arrive your way, but some medium just will not allow it.
When you break everything down, you realise how life is more complicated than a job, money and love.

Many-a-times did man try to decrypt his own life and outcome via supernatural mediums like fortune tellers or tarot cards.
The few moments of doing so jeopardizes the on-going string of life known as destiny.

I do not follow religions, but if I do, surely it would not be a monotheistic one.
Out of all available, Buddhism makes the most appealing call of all...a pure way to find peace in nature among the surroundings.

One's actions in this world affects the others around him and his own image.
One must think and try to foresee the possible outcomes, before initiating in any grave decisions.
The spirit, soul and the body are one...one for one, all not.

The main interest should be self-preservation as a race, but the stupidity of such a race will be the death of its own.
Corrupted, bribed, crime-loving, lying, betraying to each other.
Human is the name of the disease.
