Listening

I listen to Noam Chomsky and he tells me I'm a blind consumer nestled well within the walls of the most powerful empire that man has ever seen. He tells truth to me that seems false because I'm not used to hearing it.

I listen to Lao Tzu who tells me to do nothing unless it maintains the balance of world. The world no longer seems in balance to me.

I listen to Frederick Nietzche who tells me my soul must strive towards being a supersoul, that I must reach the highest path or if I am incapable, help those capable of reaching their highest path.

I listen to Richard Feynman and he tells me follow through with analysis of a small fraction of the world I am presented with. At least there is wonder in that.

I listen to Socrates and he tells me to question everything I am presented with and thus accomplish nothing.

I listen to myself and take a walk in the rain listening to Rachmaninov's Prelude in C sharp Minor. Myself tells
myself to stop listening so much to other people.
