Bill Hicks used to finish his shows with this---
Life is like a ride in an amusement park
and when you go on it you think its real,
because that's how powerful our minds are.
When the ride goes up and down and around and around
and it has thrill and chills and its very brightly colored.
And its very loud and its fun for awhile.
Some have been on the ride for a long time and
they begin to question is this real or is this just a ride?
And other people have remembered and they come back to us
and say "Hey don't worry, don't be afraid ever, because
this is just a ride"
And we kill those people
"Shut him up! I've got a lot invested in this
ride"
Shut him up.
Look at my furrows of worry,
look at my big bank account
and my family
this has to be real.
It's just a ride
but we kill those good guys who try and tell us that,
do you ever notice that?
and let the demons run a mock.
But it doesn't matter, because its just a ride
and we can change it anytime we want.
Its only a choice,
no effort,
no work,
no job,
no savings of money.
Just a choice right now
between
fear
and
love.
