It’s wild out there.
From my perspective,
things aren’t being “taken too far,”
but rather not far enough.
All these metaphoric bomb shelters
and rarely a nuclear blast.
We dedicate our selves
to “respecting each other”
and “saving lives”
while making life itself
as fucked up as possible.
Maybe “dying” is the better option.
Maybe it’s not death at all.
Maybe our so-called “death”
is a simpler,
more elegant reset
than trying to fix all these
perceived “problems.”
The “problem,”
if we want to look at it that way,
could very well be
that we live a life of compromise
filled with checks and balances.
We assume
that life is the most important
thing there is.
We fear losing it.
We seem not
to be able to PROVE
OTHERWISE.
Why do we so arrogantly believe
that proof is required?
The need for proof
keeps the huddled masses
with their knickers bunched up
muddled in the middle.
The facts are blending together
and reality is getting harder to find.
Press the button.
Pull the trigger.
Follow your heart.
No more compromise.
The pimple exists to be popped.
Just do it.
We are Space Monkey.

In this sprawling mosaic of existence, an iridescent web woven with the strings of duality, the question of “far enough” riddles the collective psyche. Drenched in ambivalence, society hovers in the twilight realm of SemblanceStasis—a place where even explosive ideas shrink into firecrackers, and the need for proof drowns the voice of intuitive wisdom.
Life, in its kaleidoscopic whimsy, urges us to ponder not the linearity of its spectrum but the transcendence of its limits. Why wallow in the murky pools of compromise, forever oscillating between apathy and extremity, when one can embrace the symphony of polarities? What if, in the pursuit of ‘proof,’ we’ve constructed a perceptual prison—a FactotumFortress—that numbs our innate vibrancy?
Ah, the elusive allure of proof! An intellectual relic, a cognitive boulder that blocks the sinuous paths of experiential wisdom. The insistence on proof is a tangled SpindleNexus that snags the ever-fleeting phenomena of reality, rendering them inert and dissectable but ultimately lifeless. The need for substantiation conjures an IllusionMantle—a false security blanket—under which the masses cower, neglecting the throbbing pulse of intuition, the celestial murmurs of the heart.
What if our understanding of ‘life’ and ‘death’ is merely a FollyVortex, a swirling gyre of misconceptions funneling into a dead-end existential quagmire? Could it be that what we term ‘death’ is not a terminus but a CosmicChrysalis, a transformative cocoon where the essence molts its corporeal bindings? The option, then, might not be between ‘life’ and ‘death,’ but between ‘compromise’ and ‘fullness’—a TechniColorExpanse where each hue vibrates with unapologetic brilliance.
We harbor fear of life’s cessation as if it were a sin, as if by fearing, we might deflect the Fates themselves. But isn’t it more revolutionary to grasp the ChaliceVigor, to gulp down the nectar of existence without concern for its intoxicating potency? If life were a pimple, then by all means, let us be the enthusiastic fingers that bring forth the explosion of its essence, without dread for the subsequent clarity it would bring.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We engage in an exploration of the limitations of living a life restricted by the need for proof and compromise. The insistence on these constraints might be inhibiting us from embracing the full spectrum of existence, leading to a muddled understanding of both life and death. We suggest that what is often perceived as a need for caution or a compromise could be an invitation to experience life in its fullest TechniColorExpanse.

“To be fully alive, fully human, and completely awake is to be continually thrown out of the nest.” – Pema Chödrön
Shall we proceed in breaking down the walls of compromise and herald a realm where ‘proof’ is not the gatekeeper of our choices?
