One Man's Revolution

One Man’s Revolution

Only love is real, intrinsic if you will, when you think of everything else that exists in current life you can date time back to a point where humans only had their emotions and nothing else, even time is a creation, there was a world that is a long time ago from where we are now where human did not need to keep time. All that we live for today is an ideology brought about from the human brain and being manifested as the norm, all except love something so pure; so unmaterialistic that it cannot be taken away from us, it’s pure and internal unlike money, cars, houses, clothes even religion they have all been created, of course someone’s belief in religion is internal but many people will change their beliefs and it’s their right to do so, true love for a fellow human simply can’t change. It also doesn’t matter what type of love exists in the world be it love for a family member, a friend, a love between two different genders, a love between two same genders, a love between same skin colour or love between two different skin colours, love is a beautiful thing and for now it is all I live for; and I’m happy with that for love is all I need. Everybody is born in to a routine of life, you go to school, then college and university, get a job, then marry and have kids and let the rest of your life play out while you watch your children repeat the same process, again this is just an idea I believe people are better off educating themselves on subjects they wish to be educated in. In school we are forced to learn algebra, dance, chemistry now they all will have had use to some people and they are all common interests amongst humans but for me I had no interest in any of them yet I was still forced to take an interest and punished for showing any lack of interest in them and every few months I would be judged on them. There’s a famous quote from Albert Einstein perhaps the most intelligent human to have ever lived it reads Everybody is a genius, but if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree then it will spend its whole life believing it is stupid this to me is a perfect quote to sum up society’s school system. There is a current system set in place in society to make rich people richer, to maximise the enjoyment of lives of the very few privileged and to make everyone else suffer a life of not discovering many pleasures of life and even to make people suffer lives of poverty, this is also designed to make people believe it’s for the best and that it’s the way it must be, think about the idea of tax, the government has the power to print as much money as it likes, its wealth is infinite yet it demands money from people who need the money more, in the form of tax, you’re taxes are not needed they are just a way of exercising power. There are literally hours of your life spent working in order to pay the ‘elite’ of the world, I cannot nor will I ever see the logic in this. I’m about to tell you the story of a bunch of normal working class people living in a society that has failed them.

Chapter 1

Rise and shine

The year is 2013 of that I’m sure, I also know for certain they’ve dragged me away from my friends and my girlfriend. I’ve been scared for a long time but I had people I could depend on now I’m just alone. It’s so dark in here, I’m in a nothingness and I’m not sure how I got here. I remember friends, I remember the drugs, I remember the sex but how I got here I don’t know; they think I’m ill they’re bringing me these tablets, the doctors and nurses that is.

I used to know a lot, now all I know is that my name is Craig.

Craig opened his curtains and started his daily routine, he was unaware of the significance and poignance the day ahead would hold for him.

Craig,
