Everything is theory. Nothing we know or believe in truly IS.


From the moment we are born we are conditioned. We are told stories, and fed beliefs and ideals and customs. Things we hear about religion, society, the universe all become what we know. What we think is real. We are subliminally boxed in, yet we think that the ideas and thoughts and actions we have are our own. We only push the limits when we try to think free. We have learned growing up that there is a realism that nothing can exist outside of.


The ones of us who see no limits to possibility are usually classed as crazy. But why? Why is everything we know today the only possibility? For example, why is it either God or the Big Bang that created us? Why is it only possible that our planet has living beings? Why is it unacceptable to weigh a certain amount? Why do we need a governing body? Why is money our only currency and source of wealth? Why is the education system so crucial? Why do we need technology? Why can't monster, mutants, superpowers and superheroes be hiding amongst us? Why can't there be alternate dimensions where our souls live on past our bodies expiration date?


Everything we know is a theory, created by our ancestors and the people who lived before us. When society consisted of very few people, and one person shared their ideals of anything, the rest followed. They then passed that on to their successors, their kin, their friends and the theories became reality. 


We could be living in a Utopian world, where reality has no limits, where society has no restrictions. If the world were reborn, without government, without wealth; a place where society sustains by it's own hands, we would be so much happier and free.

More than this, we could discover so much more if we didn't cancel out possibilities that stand outside the box of the modern "norm". We could advance so much more quickly as intellectual beings and as a living race. We are just ignorant to anything other than what has existed as "real", "logical", "possible" and "within reason".


If you can break from the box, break from the conditioning you've been given, you can see that reality is infinite and limitless. Everything is a possibility, because nothing is actually known.

I was on the bus the other day and received some pretty strong criticism from an elderly woman about my piercings.

She mentioned how unnatural it was of me to be sticking needles and metal into my skin for the purpose of vanity, and how both piercings AND vanity itself were sins. The thing I found amazing about her critique was that she delivered it both respectfully and calmly. She wasn't outraged about it, she didn't cause a scene, but very simply laid out her opinion. She was just mislead; as most people are when it comes to body modifications. She was wearing lipstick and had her ears pierced, herself. Had it have been a different tone of conversation, I would have replied to her "I suppose you were naturally born wearing earrings, then?".

(My piercings: angelbites, and a septum)

It made me start to really wonder why it is that tattoos, piercings and all things related have become so taboo in today's society? We either have to search back into primitive times or seek hope in the far future to see body modifications as an accepted part of our cultures. Unfortunately, we've created a stereotype for people who fall under the category of "modified" in society. Most people see piercings and tattoos as "dirty", "trashy" or "unprofessional". It's a shame that this is what we have turned something that derived from a cultured tradition into this sort of image (maybe a concept I'll go into in another blog). It's hard to break the mould of a stereotype once it's been hardened in to the minds of the public. 

I long for the day where all body art can be considered accepted, and appearance comes second to persona.
