The Nero Manifesto pt. 1

I've got a question for you: what's the opposite of positive but also the opposite of negative? They say neutrality's a sin but in my opinion it was created to destroy both ends of the spectrum, single-handedly restoring balance to a rusty scale. We're 12 years into the 2000s and how many Elroys have you met? A few Judys here and there but that's a whole nother story entirely. They say if you squint just right, you could see people for what they really are; and if you meditate long enough, you could see the future. Imagine being psychic and not even knowing it. Sounds crazy right? But converse with a child and ask him what he wants to be, and you'd probably try to buy his crystal ball off him. Once you've discovered the fountain of youth, odds are you'd keep it a secret. Hell, if you're not smart enough to find it then maybe you don't deserve to live forever. What I'm saying is...nothing. And that's more than enough. But say too much in a short span or time and you've already bit off more than you can chew, then it suddenly becomes hard to stomach. And that's how I feel about the public. So my only prayer is...you still think I'm talking about nothing. And if you happen to be picking up what I'm putting down then I love you...I know what the Good Lord says about being lukewarm and I've certainly picked a side, preaching it fervently. However, I embrace being multidimensional while outsiders may see it as indecisive or...two-faced. With neutrality comes liberation from duality. Not always as easy as you might think because simplicity has its own set of complexities. Shift your perspective about half an inch and you've found a whole new world for you to conquer. Now imagine what would happen if you turned around. This is not a guide to success, for I am not yet successful. But when I am...consider this my manifesto.
