My Only Conviction

2/19/2018

0 Comments

 

I don’t want to compete with you.   I don’t want to beat you at anything.  I don’t want a nicer car, a better job and a nicer house in a nicer neighborhood so I can look down on you.  I don’t want to go on luxurious vacations and then tell you about them.
 
I don’t want to be smarter than you, bigger, stronger, faster or funnier.  Least of all richer.
 
I don’t want to save for the future.  I want to live now.
 
I don’t want to work so much, or so hard.  I’m lazy.  
 
I don’t want to fight with you, or anyone, and when others fight it makes me sick.
 
My only conviction is that you are just like me.
 
I won’t surrender this, my only conviction.  My work, my life depends on it.
 
If I’m wrong, I’m fucked.  And, it seems to me, so are we all.
