The Selfish Nature of Fear
Raves are freedom, bonding, and shared prosperity. Every moment is earned and it is never wrong to convene with others. We risk our lives daily in countless ways. It's no secret that this minute could be the last, and that's why we must live for today.
There are people who have only known poverty, there are people who need friends, and love, and opportunities. Millions of Africa people only expect to live for 55 short years. Many children still die of hunger. We need to normalize joy and prosperity. There are broken people who will work themselves and everyone around them to death because of their selfish insecurities.
Bonds formed in ecstacy and liberation become opportunities to work and to help one another. The party is the nucleus of revolution. It's the fire at the center of the village. If we are not slaves we should dance around the flames and shout freedom into the night. Our beating drums and mirthful voices are signals of health and abundance. Those exaltations are a rallying cry. The rumbling of underground parties is the sound of a peaceful army marching towards the cowardly fortifications of our oppressors.
The ruling class and their lackeys have used violence and fear to secure privileges for them and theirs. They are racketeers, liars, and murderers who see the world as a dark and evil place because that justifies their despicable actions. The tactics of that wealthy minority make real the nightmarish world they envisioned. While they bomb schools and demand increasing sacrifices from their subjects they extend their own lives by every imaginable means. There are some who feel entitled to satisfy their every desire and they heartlessly steal away the wealth produced by the poor.
Those wretched people thrive while the masses are suffering, but they hate it when crowds form. Parties threaten to upset the social order. When people party together and treat one another with respect they have the ability to construct a new society. In that eventual civilization everyone will enjoy a portion of the unlimited wealth of our immense universe. We will still work and struggle for every breath, but we will enjoy it because the pay will be fair and the work will be honest.
In that brave morning after the rave is over every living person goes forth content and optimistic while the cowards who subject themselves and everyone around them to conflict and scarcity discover that their fears were unfounded.
