Rome built slow and fell fast
"Any Means Necessary" is a lot less climactic than it appears at first
at first - it seems like the kind of thing that you want to yell and raise a flag to
maybe smash somebody in the face or flip a car over
but then after a while you realize that it always has been survival by any means necessary
they say you cant take the street out of the street person
but
you can take the suburban out of the suburbanite
the reason for this is because one is raw and real
the other is developed on a foundation of fake
illusory
run thru the situations in your head:
you give a street person some modest luxury and they cannot get the street mentality out of their head
Mike Tyson couldnt be 'tamed'
the awards shows had to take extra precautions after ODB ran on-stage at the grammys back in '98
but
you pull the rug out from under a suburbanite and watch how quick they learn
a month TOPS
"but its not sanitary" is a consideration that quickly slips out of the decision-making process
"i cant go there because i might get robbed" does not apply to those who dont have anything worth stealing
it isnt really enjoyable to look on as people learn tough lessons
it is a instinct that people have - similar to that feeling they get when they see somebody with a open wound
in order to not react to that kind of thing takes a great deal of training
it can be seen in doctors and the armed forces
these people have been trained to ask questions first and pierce flesh second
EXCEPT
they have also been trained to pierce flesh first under certain blurry circumstances
which means they are always prepared to pierce flesh
scalpels
needles
bullets
killing tools which man has tricked himself into thinking can be used with good intent
used with enthusiasm
while the average person - the untrained person - a child - has an aversion to seeing pierced flesh
far from inflicting it - the instinct is to jump on it
cover it up
to heal wounds
when our own wounds are healed - we seek to heal those of others
far from 'good' or 'bad'
just another example of 'we'
a chain is as strong as its weakest link
we get trained to damage ourselves with a exotic blend of good intent and faulty reasoning
you can be in as good condition as you want
but
the bigger you is in rough shape
and the bigger bigger you is at rest letting it all take place inside
walk with those who happen to be walking in the same direction as you
this occurs naturally and without effort
earthquakes and lava are a means that will be used when necessary
also: hurricanes
