In a world filled with so much horror, there are two strategies for living in it. You can be a citizen-consumer and ignore horror, or distract yourself from it, or believe the system itself can fix it; or you can be an artisan-artist and create good work to counter-balance the horror, knowing it can't be fixed. You can participate; or you can counter-participate.
The easier it is to drop out and counter-participate, the freer the society and the more tempting the "rewards" for not dropping out in the first place. The key is understanding that only positive energy can neutralize negative energy. You don't get rid of horror. You match it with anti-horror.
And this is my mumbo jumbo for the day ha ha. Except I'm serious.
