Civil Obedience is Killing us.....

Obedience is killing us.

I’m sitting on a train, it’s running 55 mins late. Actually, I don’t care because I arrived late and ended up on an earlier train, kinda and I’ve learned that train delays nurture opportunity.

What is most shocking is the anger and frustration people are venting through muffled grunts. It’s terrible apparently, the state of the railways. ‘They’ should do something about it.

‘They’, my love don’t give a fuck. ‘They’ know that you are not civilly disobedient. ‘They’ are lining each others pockets with your money and you hate them, those faceless failures you wish hadn’t rinsed you for £100+ for a 2 hour journey and no seat to boot.

You see, our problem, more the British than any other nation, is that we will go home, moan to our lovers, tell our colleagues, preach to any audience next time on the train home about how shite the service is. BUT, we’ll do nothing about it other than perpetuate our own misery, creating out own reality, almost willing on the failure of our lives in order to justify our own existence. Obedience is our national weakness.

Well, good luck with that. I’m loving this ride home. Admittedly, I’m just a little tipsy after an essential meeting following another appointment at Royal Marsden, but this time is good. This time is untouchable by reality. You see, I’m up for either causing a riot on this train or getting everyone drunk and enjoying this hour of freedom from reality. Right now, we’re untouchable, free, opportunists with a whole hour to create our own revolution. I’ve got a couple of people keen, but they’re not up for a full on ‘pull the chain and stop the train’ operando. The more I will it on, the more they want to pull the chain, not for freedom from society mind.

Anyway, my point is that  ‘They’ is ‘You’ is ‘Us’ so stop talking and start acting, be the change you want to see and tickle a little disobedience out of the system.

Sorry about the swearing mum, I promise I’ll never do it again. I’ll go straight to bed.

One love
