The majority of people duck reality. Reality is a river with a fierce current. You can try & resist but the current won’t stop. It moves faster & stronger then you ever will. People give in. People have many vices that blur their vision. Most people accept what it is and never go against the mainstream. Swim up the mainstream, go against what is the norm and what is being force fed to you. Living life this way takes perseverance and determination.
Society, civilization, language, just living day by day, people are tired. They don’t have the strength to make change. This is why so much shit is breaking down. This is why there are more diseases, more rape, murder, jails overflowing because you continue to look away when it’s reflecting through your mirror. The more you deny this, the more malignant you become.
Powerfully penned, Keith. Like I’ve said in the past, I always go against the grain my friend. Incredible spill. Appreciate you.

That’s the way to do it. Fuck society and their cowardly ways. Thanks man.
Sadly, more and more people don’t dare to swim against the stream anymore. They obey to social rules without questioning and don’t speak their own truth, lifeless like puppets on the string. In fact there is nothing more beautiful than being yourself, following your dreams and most important of all thanking for yourself. This isn’t only self-care it also would make this world a better place.
Your reflections are powerful and very well written, my friend!
Be yourself and appreciate what you can give to the world. Thank you Sappho. xox
