I mourn for the notion of free thought. Entire civilizations have been predicated upon the death of uninhibited, unmolested thought.
Our minds are tainted with a toxic concoction of corporate sound bytes, rhetoric, and cancerous fumes.
There's something more worthy to live for, yet what that may be is deliberately clouded and convoluted until their dreams become our own.
"The most dangerous man, to any government, is the man who is able to think things out for himself without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable, and so, if he is romantic, he tries to change it. And even if he is not romantic personally he is apt to spread discontent among those who are." -H.L. Mencken
