-Caroline Ailanthus
people have thousands of thoughts every day.
but we forget most of them and expel them as waste because,
most of our thoughts don’t serve any benefit to manifest in our minds permanently.
we eat and we dispose of our waste
because it serves us more harm than good to hold onto.
just like superfluous thoughts.
some apes investigate their shit for health reasons just like humans do,
but some apes eat their shit.
just like some people eat their shit thoughts.
apes who eat and play with their shit are usually captive,
it’s a stress response to being powerless and bored.
when people are trapped, powerless and bored,
we can engage in similar behaviors.
eating thoughts that should’ve been discarded as waste,
making us sicker.
this creates an echo chamber,
a cycle of producing and consuming your own waste while believing more and more that what you eat is good for you because it’s your own making.
you then take a proverbial shit in your hands,
clapping,
speeding it all over yourself and others,
screaming,
seeking attention.
spreading your infectious thoughts to everyone in your vicinity.
those then propagate the disease by touching clean minds with dirty thoughts.
for the powerless bear wrath,
and the sick harbor ambition.
