under bloody red luna, wake up my lacuna

it is a great human weakness to wish to be the same as our friends. if they are rich, we wish to be rich. if they are poor, then we don't mind being equally poor. we are not ashamed of being stupid, we are only ashamed of being more stupid than our friends. it is a matter of comparison. it is also a matter of expectation. we don't miss things that we never expected to have. we are not disappointed at being poor if we never expected to be rich.

“everybody knows things are bad. ıt's a depression. everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job. the dollar buys a nickel's worth. banks are going bust. shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter. punks are running wild in the street and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it. we know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, and we sit watching our tvs while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be. we know things are bad, worse than bad, they're crazy. ıt's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out anymore. we sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, 'please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. let me have my toaster and my tv and my steel-belted radials and ı won't say anything. just leave us alone.' well, ı'm not going leave you alone. ı want you to get mad! ı don't want you to protest. ı don't want you to riot. ı don't want you to write to your congressman, because ı wouldn't know what to tell you to write. ı don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the russians and the crime in the street. all ı know is that first you've got to get mad. you've got to say, 'ı'm a human being god damn it! my life has value!' ı want you to get up now. ı want all of you to get up out of your chairs. ı want you to get up right now and go to the window. open it, and stick your head out, and yell, ‘ı'm as mad as hell, and ı'm not going to take this anymore!”

haven't heard that in years.. #pinkfloyd #bignothing

"the best thing for being sad.. is to learn something. that is the only thing that never fails. you may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorders of your veins. you may miss your only love. you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics or know that your honor has been trampled in the sewer by baser minds. there is only one thing for them: to learn. learn why the world wags and what wags it. that is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. learning is the thing for you."

dont regret as i fall for that sweet burn inject as i crawl to my master stop the pressure hear the whisper and slowly lose to temptation let me go, let me fight chemicals in my mind
