There are no shadows of doubt cast upon my reason to be ashamed of this recklessness. Beneath a thin veil are hidden crimes which infinitely outdistance all human measurements.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;So what then, of my future?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Because it is impossible for me to fully comprehend the pending consequences of each action/inaction. Am I too far corrupted and spiritually numbed, blindly trusting in a natural order of life; if I surrender what is my most eminent principle, what sets me above all Creation: my free will; if I abandon that will to take decisive action to turn from this inane path and towards the one, only rational decision: complete surrender to [that urgent need]; am I so devoid of individuality, have I already become too much a part of the 'spiritless and cowardly mass'?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;I deserve death.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;But not a tragic one. For the spineless and will-less who have had the marrow sucked from their bones, who have been robbed the Center of their stability - are not tragic; no, by their nature, they are bound for destruction.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;So it seems, but it is not to be.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;I have been victim of a gradual, treacherous, systematic abuse. A system which puts everyman into a spiritual prison. Only now, finding myself in fetters, I have become aware of my fate. Only a few others have recognized the threat of our evident ruin. I will hopefully have more to say about the fate of those others. If everyone waits until the otherman makes a start, [that fate] will come steadily closer, until even the last victim will be cast into the maw of that insatiable [fate]. Therefore, in my conscious observance, I must defend myself as best as I can at this late hour, I must work diligently against the scourges of mankind.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;I will offer &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;r&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;esistance&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;, before all I am is reduced to rubble.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Do not forget that every people deserves the regime it is willing to endure.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;        "Resistance does not start with big words.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;         but with small deeds (...)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;         asking yourself a question&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;         and then asking that question to others&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;         that is how resistance starts."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;                                          - Remco Campert&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;So here is my question to me and you:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Do you feel the need to be more than you are?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19713112-113411781312203797?l=deuceofspades.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://deuceofspades.blogspot.com/feeds/113411781312203797/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19713112&amp;postID=113411781312203797&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19713112/posts/default/113411781312203797'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19713112/posts/default/113411781312203797'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deuceofspades.blogspot.com/2005/12/i-too-have-been-thinking-of-meaning-of.html' title='I too, have been thinking of the meaning of resistance.'/><author><name>thegrayvapour</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12043321651680364966</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
