Whole

The world disguises it's share of the predatory.  Sometimes under the description of "holy."

Like the corpses of the former living that fall into the depths of the Amazon river, that which has resigned it's right and ability to fight is preyed upon by the piranha that team within.

Do you claim your right to life, your right to be alive?

In this nature; the developed civilized wilderness, you do not see what disguises itself as the wolf that it is.  The hunger of the piranha that team beneath the surface of the mundane and the "necessary."  Because we live by the means of sacrifice.  We live by the sacrifice of time and energy in the labors of our everyday existence.  The demands of those civilized beings around us that ask us to give and to give only to feed their own stomachs.  They maintain the pretense of duty, of paying back until you are even.  But what their appetite demands deceives them.  And the hunger that is not satisfied by little will not be satisfied by much.

You as well are not a predatory thing.   In the face of the woman that demands you to change for her to love you or the church that demands your soul for you to stay.  Do not give. To deny yourself purposefully is to deny the call to be divided and divide.  To deny yourself is to reject the demands to give part of yourself here and part of yourself there as well as to reject the hunger to demand it of others.

To truly give of yourself it must be as a unit. To truly deny yourself, it must be an offering of yourself in the face of the world as a singular whole.

For it is the conscience that convicts us of decency.  Or fails to do so.  Why it fails in the face of evil is because evil asks that conscience be sacrificed to the piranha.  The society that demands you to offer yourself in pieces, to keep some and forsake the rest, is the society doomed to fall apart.  Never deny conscience, never deny fullness, always offer yourself whole.

To hunger is a result of being cut down and denied and believing it.  For you to pursue the job, the money, the girl that can complete it all for you, is to deny that you are complete as you are, you and that which created you as you.  That which knew what it was doing.  That which made you whole.
