My opinion is, is that being a human we are scared of the unknown. Do not get me wrong, there are some people out there who are fearless and can take living in a dark room, but most of us can’t. But as a human, we are also afraid of the truth because it destroys our illusions. Some of us steer clear of the truth by walking with one eye covered – sometimes both. This leads us to titles. We give people titles! Why ? My guess is, is that we do not know what this suspected thing is, so we assume to relieve us from fear. We brand to fit in so we won’t have the fear of being alone or being outcasts. We make these allegations our truths, and by doing this we are making our illusions become our reality . Does that make sense? Throughout history, people have been given titles that they do not deserve ! Like the Jews, or “witches” , the African Americans , even women and more.
Many witches were killed by “Christians” for no reason at all. Thousands of people have died during the burning times and Salem Witch Trials because they were different. They were outcasts and because they believed in Pagan gods, they were not normal. Everyone’s normal is different . That is what makes us human. Well, at least one reason that makes us human, in my opinion! The Bishops and Priests had no reason, no right, to kill as many people as they did; but they did and for what ? Because they did not worship the God that the Christians did ? Which, by the way was influenced from Jewish religion and from earlier religions too. The bible was manipulated and for that reason, innocent people died-adults and children! Some of the people accused weren’t even witches, probably. They did not investigate to find the truth because they were too busy torturing, burning, and hanging people. It disgusts me. Now, do not get me wrong, i am not an opposed to Christianity but i am opposed to the people who have manipulated the religion and the bible to be what it is not. That is not fair, that is not right, but it happened and for this reason we should be a better world, society, and we should be better people….but we aren’t.
We are giving more titles to people today who do not deserve them such as: Fat, crazy, gay or faggot, and more. We, as humans, are not defined by titles. We define them!! That makes a complete difference in a lot of things that the next person does not seem to understand! I wrote a poem called Meds. I stopped taking them because i am not a big person of medicine, i would like to use herbal essences to heal me. The medicine only took away the pain for a little while. They made me feel different ; i did not feel like myself anymore- i felt robotic. Anyways, i said that ,”The labels on a medicine bottle does not define me, i define it.” I am not depressed because you or the black and white ink says so, i am depressed because i have made myself feel this way. Make sense ? Therefore, a witch is not an evil, devil worshiping , God opposing, hating , demon befriending person as people make them seem. That is there title though, so to some people that is all that matters. A witch is a nature loving, Deity worshiping, non-believer in A DEVIL, with positive energy and sometimes more Christian than the next. So, again why were they slaughtered ?!!! Because of their title. If you take away the title, they were people. Those bishops, priests, and sheep (common people) killed people ! They were human beings that had families, hearts, children, husbands, wives etc; Human beings that were only killed because of a title. The killers have put all of their ignorance on these people’s lives just like they do with the “devil” . I am starting to believe that a devil only exists because people needed someone to blame for things that they did not know about because they were uneducated. Simple as that. Now, i could be wrong and i am open to changing my mind but this is how i feel now.
Looking at today, many people are educated and many people have common sense to use their logic, but we are are so accustomed to false teachings that this ignorance is all we know ( not all people ). Nothing has changed, except for the time and the amount of money to buy food to put in children’s mouths to the amount of money being put in the governments pockets freely. I am so angry, but i do not have a voice. The first amendment is shit now , and it always has been. The constitution is shit now and always has been. Even with slavery and women’s suffrage…titles have been giving and help hasn’t.
African Americans were slaves because of their lack of knowledge. They danced around fires praising gods and goddesses that made them feel one with religion, earth, and their selves. They were given the title “savages” or “niggers”. If i can recall, we were all once savages once in our lifetimes. Our ancestors lacked knowledge, danced around fires, hunted for food, and had wild hair. We all come from one period of time, we just advance in separate ways. Those African Americans were beat, enslaved, stacked up like sardines on a boat, and treated worse than bugs in the dirt. How is that sane ? How is that okay ?? If you take away their title , they were people. If you look beyond their color, they were people ! We are blinded by stupid things like : t.v, meaningless music, people’s judgment, magazines and models, and more. We should be blinded by race, gender, ethnicity, sexuality, size, and background. Once we see through that, we can actually see the persons for who they really are and what they can bring to the table.
