Rose Speaks

Rose spoke as their train rolled through Morocco.

"Life for people in America is free will versus determination confronting ambition, privacy, isolation, and community in a corrupt, violent cynical society where people want to be in control of their fear. They believed in fear and consumption because they are afraid of being poor and lonely.

“They are willing victims of their fear, uncertainty and doubt. They switched on their amygdala - a small almond shaped brain structure - validated to be involved in fear and emotional response.

“Manipulated by the system, by socialization control mechanisms and the subtle power of right wing conservative persuasion, they either wanted control or approval facing this daily choice. They struggle, suffer, dance, find gratitude, forgiveness in their heart, live and die.

"Knowing it’s necessary to die at least once while you’re alive is good. Get’s it out of the way early."

“Die at the right time,” said Nietzsche.

“I rolled snake eyes in life’s crap game. Reptilian id brain matter shed old skin. My retinas picked up hints of space-time firing light particles flashing along microscopic fibers to brain cells where data is stacked, sorted and analyzed for meaning."

“What is the meaning of meaning?” said the blind man.
