Insight #1
They say that my Archangel counterpart speaks to babies while still in the womb. There he imparts the knowledge that the baby will, in due time, need. Well, you're all in a womb of delusion, and it's about time that I slapped you upside the head with some truth. This is profound insight #1. I have declared it to be so, and so it shall be.
No one knows what they want.
There, I said it. Absolutely no one. You think you know what you want? You're wrong. Thanks, but you'll have to try the game some other time because you just lost it you sorry sap. That is, I believe, society's NUMBER ONE delusion. Everyone just ASSUMES that at SOME level they know what they want. Gabriel is here to gently... ah, screw that... VEHEMENTLY inform all of you that, in fact, we are humans and it is at our very nature, our core, our essence, our chewy caramel center to NOT KNOW WHAT WE WANT! Good lord, we hardly know what we NEED half the time. It's taxing enough on some people to have to remember: Okay, breathe in, breathe out, eat food, sleep often, left foot, right foot... We are flawed. That's not really a bad thing either. It's just something that we have to suck up and accept. We're wired that way. I'll give you examples. Man and woman, sitting in paradise. They get to be naked, all day long. They get to hang out with a bunch of animals that we only see in zoos nowadays. They got to have free reign of the place. They got to converse with the Almighty, one on one. What do they do? They screw it all up because they WANT to be better. It never even occurred to them that they had it PERFECTLY already. No, they let some little legless jackass convince them that he knew how to make it all better. Personally, I don't take advice from animals that don't have recognizable butts. Not a religious person? I have a few more examples simmering on the back burner... Allow me to pour you a cup: Girls that say they want nice, sweet guys (Oh, HOW they want those guys!) but without fail those girls end up with jerks that can't wipe their butts or show any kind of affection. Guys think that what they want is to have a bunch of chicks clamoring for their attention, and then they wonder why people don't like them being such "playas". My response to this comes in four easy, fun syllables: REE-DICK-YOU-LUSS!!! Now, you might say to yourself (or you might say directly into the computer screen, if you're a psycho) "I don't fit one of those broad generalizations. Even though I'm obviously supposed to infer that these examples are meant to get me thinking about how I further the point that is being made, I need it to be spelled out more clearly. The reason for this is because I, indeed, am an idiot." Aww, you're being too hard on yourself. Well, have you ever really desired something (money, possessions, companionship from someone, lack of companionship, etc.) and then gotten it, only to realize that you're worse off than you were before? Of course you have. That's because EVERYONE has. Therein lies the point that I am successfully making (yes, I have confidence in that, at least). And you may think now - or even think after reading this genius slice of blogger gold - that you've got your desires in check; that you are the exception to the rule. Sadly, you've either messed it up before and you're in denial, or you WILL mess it up BIG TIME in the future. Kinda bleak, I realize, but I love you too much to sugar coat. I wish that someone would have told me all of this. There, my point is proven, and I'm getting tired of writing this. It's like, almost three in the morning. Lesson we learned today: Gabriel doesn't lie. Other lesson we learned today: No one knows what they want. It's a truth. It's part of life. Get over it. I suggest you listen to the lyrics of "Mune Lite" and just strip yourself of feelings altogether, then you won't HAVE to want ANYTHING.
