People Problems

   The biggest concern with an upheaval is the people. People who seek to have more than others, and try to diminish peers, and seek ways to be "better" than them. The same that would damn a village to dig for oil profits. The kind that destroys massive ecosystems, because it's cheaper than the other methods. The ones who seek their own satisfaction by dooming others.
   In my opinion, there are two kinds of brains. There are the ones which lead trust, support, and benevolence to their serotonin release in their heads. The others get their boost from self-centered ways, objects, things, and can disregard its harm on others in order for their fix.
   These people don't realize, however, that simply satisfying cravings isn't everything. Most people know this in smaller ways, such as eating, or sleeping, or even sitting around. This afflicts many of the rich, who end up depressed after satisfying every craving they can only to be left with an unfilled soul.
   Being a good person fills the void in your mind, knowing you've done the right thing instead of the way most rewarding to you. In a way, you're being helpful for your own greed, because it ends up fueling your chemical dependencies the same way greed could. The difference is the same as ice cream and salad. One way, you end up with all your calories built, but you've neglected the vitamins and proteins required to keep a healthy body.
   This leads me to my belief of the necessity of psychedelics. They are vitamins for the mind, necessary to keep a fresh head with true virtues to live by. Psilocybin has been used throughout the history of mankind, and basically acts as a filter to show yourself what kind of person you truly are. When you can react well to them, it shows a mental stability.
   But enough for my love of inner exploration. The real issue is how to get more of the darkened brains the light that true people can see. When you have it, you know, and people know you know. Light can embrace its kind, and it will be necessary for us to shine together to drive the darkness out of the shadows' soul.
