The world is like a ride at the amusement park
By Bill Hicks
"The world is like a ride at the amusement park,
and when you choose to go on it you think its real
cause that's how powerful our minds are.
And the ride goes up and down, around and around,
it has chills and thrills and its very brightly colored and its very loud.
And it's fun, for a while.
Some people have been on the ride for a long time
and they begin to question,
is this real? Or is it just a ride?
And other people have remembered,
and they come back tous and they say
'hey, don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride.
And we kill those people.'
It doesn't matter, because, its just a ride.
And we can change it any time we want.
It's only a choice.
No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money,
a choice right now, between fear and love.
The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off.
The eyes of love, instead see all of us as one.
Here's what we can do to change the world right now, to a better ride,
take all that money we spend on weapons and defence each year
and instead spend it feeding, clothing, and educating the poor of the world
which it would many times over,
not one human being excluding
and we can explore space together, both inner and outer, forever".
