You may think you know the truth, but you do not. You do not understand. You sit there, blissful in your ignorance... all too happy to waste your brain away, thinking that you've found the meaning of happiness.

You know nothing.

You may think that you know power, but you do not. You have no concept. You lie there, blissful in your ignorance... loving the magic that exists only in your head, thinking that there can be no greater achievement than this.

You know nothing.

True happiness cannot be found in a pill, a leaf, or a line. That quick burst of overwhelming joy is over faster that you ever thought was possible, and leaves you feeling empty. True strength is not in a tab or a needle. That strength makes you feel immortal. You can do anything... until the rush is gone and you realize that it never counts for anything.

True happiness is understanding yourself and realizing that you don't need anything else but your mind, your body, and your soul to stand on top of the world.

True strength is not laughing at you for being nothing without your fix, but showing you the way to empower yourself beyond anything you could begin to imagine, so that you can empower others.

You know nothing, but you can be taught.



The world is your classroom, and words are your teachers.

How was your first lesson?
