fundamentally flawed

yes, fundamentally, even... humanity has them and i wonder if we, as a species, will survive long enough to overcome them... when a core is rotten, it doesn't matter how strong or beautiful the skin, the apple is dying... especially when we deny the core is rotten... and then worse, we choose to eat that apple and rot our own core and die ourselves... when we should be living... feel free to read religious stories into that analogy, but it is human history so far... no one can reach truth when standing on a lie... hear that... you don't reach truth standing on a lie... depressing, unless you have enough hope and maintain enough awareness in your conscious mind to overcome the lies and fears that formed them and believe others might as well...

i want to believe...

get that one?... yes, i play with words, metaphors, analogies, even similes... i especially sprinkle my babblings with pop cultures references, lyrics, movies, stories... so returning to the first parahraph and title, even my favorite film (referenced here... hopefully you recall it by now) has a thing or two i really do not like in it... the helplessness of buttercup is appaulling... she should have grabbed the sword and killed the rous but the storytellers retained the model of patriarchal fairy tales and left her as a helpless damsel in distress... that is a sad flaw that stains an otherwise favorite film... if i was female, i wonder, would it even be a favorite?... in spite of the subtle wit, the clever writing, the poignant mockery, the brilliant casting, the epic story...

probably not...

who dares understand?... who dares remain along without compromise?...

i wait for you...

too dramatic?...
