Passion with no outlet = chaos
To die inside or to destroy the world around you? That is the question...
As I'm watching what's going on in London with the riots... it seems very easy and convenient to just blame the "youth" in saying that they're "sick" or whatever...
I was in London a month or two ago and I remember that there just seemed to be kids everywhere just hanging out on the streets...
Now I am clearly an adult BUT I never lost my PASSION...I never died inside... and I know if that passion has no outlet..which for me is filmmaking, music, and exercise... than I start to go nuts... I yearn to create chaos... I want to start arguments and make people upset... I want to BREAK I want to BURN... so I can imagine myself being as a 17 year old riotmaker...
When I was like 17... I was so angry and frustrated and felt so powerless I remember writing a story wherein I brutally murdered everyone I knew at the time 0_0 NOW no one ever read it and I never killed any of those people obviously BUT it was an outlet for that chaos... what if I had no quiet place to write? What would have become of that chaos? Would I have swallowed it and become a numbed medicated adult or what I have been MORE violent and angry in real life?
If the youth ANYWHERE don't have an outlet for their passion before it is KILLED or is MEDICATED out of them...it's going to be CHAOS...
I'm sure the powers that be would just LOVE to medicate ALL the young people... a nice soft lobotomy so they'll be good little slaves...
All these old dead puppet fucks who try to run the show need to get the fuck off the stage because they are clearly letting down the youth... and the rest of the non rich people.... BUT yes in this world MONEY TALKS so as long as they keep the rich happy its not a problem for them... well if they burn your fucking houses down and steal your shit then its a problem isn't it? ^_^
It's not about punishing the youth...it's about getting to the root of the problem... and giving them something to do with their passion... helping give them some hope for the future... a purpose other than "BE A CONSUMER WHORE! LIVE IN SLAVERY! THEN DIE IN DEBT"
I myself would LOVE to work in some youth center somewhere making animation, films, and music with passionate young people ^_^
