John’s Declaration from Society

            Due to the injustices, wrong doings, and misdemeanors of civilization, it is necessary for me to declare myself independent from society and free of the wretchedness it brings. Society has lost its values and lacks decency and morals. It seems no one else is willing to step up and say how corrupt civilization is, so I will. What a piece of work man is, for he claims rights that were never his to begin with. Many things are rotten in the state of London. Too many crimes man has committed in today’s society; too many times they have gone unnoticed.   I am here to state that these sins have not been ignored, over looked, forgotten, or disregarded. Allow to me list the malefactions that society commits.

            People are only interested in activities that take the least amount of effort, and they have forgotten the rewards of hard work:

            Creativity and art is no more for people are now blind to the type of beauty that cannot be felt by the senses:

            Inspirational, motivating, and stimulating works have been replaced by busy, overwhelming, and oppressing “feelies:”

            Everything is made under false pretenses, with nature pushed aside to make room for synthetic creations, like Bokanovsky's Process:

            With the consumption of soma, comes the washing away of precious time to think, imagine, question, and develop thoughts:

            If emotion is nothing physically endured, whether it be positive or negative feelings, human beings will never reach their full potential

            The lack of attachment and commitment between people is sickening and shows further proof of the lack of morals in society:

            There is no method in the madness of love or purity and all manners of decency have long ago ridden away on horseback:

            People are blind and deaf to the acts of sin they commit, and their deeds go unpunished! O villain, villain, smiling, damned villain!

            This thing of darkness, which man has fallen into, I will not partake in. Since no one will hear my cries, I take my exit off the stage of society. I shall leave your “civilization” to collapse in peace and your people to forever remain ignorant of what sensations they are missing. With pain and anguish comes peace and serenity. Where danger and risk lurks, so does security and safety. You can find joy and bliss right around the corner from depression and gloom. Of course, the people will never understand or experience these emotions which prompt greatness. Nothing great will ever come from an idle and intoxicated mind.

            Forever shall society remain in sin, and I find no hope left in saving it. Society is dying, Egypt, dying and there is no savior to rescue it as it falls. The violation of crimes against nature civilization has done is too great to be forgiven, and I must save myself before it is too late for me too. Lord, what fools these mortals be to have disgraced themselves so. I shall leave now, and bid ado to all of your rot and I wish a plague upon both your houses.
