“The kakapo is a bird out of time. If you look one in its large, round, greeny-brown face, it has a look of serenely innocent incomprehension that makes you want to hug it and tell it that everything will be all right, though you know that it probably will not be.”
— Douglas Adams, Last Chance to See

Most Of You Were Naked, But Some Of You Were Light.
When you've fallen on the highway
and you're lying in the rain,
and they ask you how you're doing
of course you'll say you can't complain --
If you're squeezed for information,
that's when you've got to play it dumb:
You just say you're out there waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.

Blind, Deaf & Dumb With Learning Disabilities.
The mind is a scary thing, and being in one all of the time everyday of every week can make you incredibly blind and misled by your own prejudices and kinks most of the time. Its such a shame to see people who’ve started out on the right track then have been driven insane by their own egos or insecurities. It makes you wanna knock on their skull just to see if there’s still anybody in there. What’s even more scary is that no matter how hard you try to make them see the truth, there is a time when you’ll inevitably need to resign and arrive at the very logical conclusion of how maybe, just maybe, they’ve gone batshit insane.
Grandpa is not impressed.
People are beyond saving, in fact, saving is a concept that is spawn out of mere wishful thinking, for after all, how do you know you’re not blinded yourself? There is no clear right and wrong that hasn’t been set by man, and what makes you trust mankind so much? History has proven that just because something has been around for long enough doesn’t mean it’s right. Entire regimes that were diligently abided to for decades were, at one point or another, brought down and later looked upon as major trespasses on the rights of the entire humanity. What’s the point of investing any real hope in something as incredibly variable as human nature? More stable and reliable things have been trusted and only proved to disappoint. It doesn’t seem like fair game to me.
