People that hook up with cults, groups,
12 step, you name it are lost causes. Life has already dealt them the losing hand. They just don't know it yet and won't accept the fact.
They have lost before they begin a new exploration in the new age. What
new age scammer doesn't know that up front? The game can't be won.
### - it's the 'survivors' am interested in, not only of cults but of
other things too?
there's always survivors, and their awareness is always different/bigger + usually more rounded-out than normal...
e.g., i used to know this dude (let's call him harry) who was alright and actually very nice albeit it a bit of a pest haha, i guess he was just
kinda dumb and happy-go-lucky, never said anything offensive or anything
like that, but most people rolled their eyes whenever his name was
mentioned, he was just a bit of a twit ya know? plus every now and again a story would filer through about some of his daft exploits and the trouble
he often gots himself into lol... one of which (have ya heard the latest?) hilariously included him and his girlfriend onetime apparently playing
around with some battery operated dildo with some kinda rotating head on
it, which then subsequently got lost up his asshole lol, the twisting head
of it slowly working & worming it's way ever further & further up into his bowel all by itself! an ambulance was then called to the scene (laffing) whereon they frantically tried but there was apparently nothing they could
do but take him back to the hospital to have it somehow surgically
removed? the damn thing still whizzing and whirring away all the way to
the hospital and until they finally got it out and turned it off (i dunno
how they removed it, long probes + plenty lube maybe haha!)
and that, my friends, was harry in a nutshell? only a young dude of about
26 or 27 but rather aimless, and would latch onto anyone who talked to him kinda thing, loud, generally happy & emotional and easy to like, but still
also a pest in many ways too... (poor harry, poor boy...)
so anyway, and several similar harry-stories later, the next thing we hear harry's on heroin??
aww no, not that! there's nothing 'less' forgiving than heroin?? harry's
fucked maan!
we all knew that without even having to say it! christ he's really fucked
now!?
and... he was! of course he was! whatever heroin can do to ya it was
always defo gonna do it to him! damn! yes he was a bit of a cunt, but not 'that' for harry?? he's had it now!
and then he disappeared for a good while, no one had heard of harry for
ages, probably dead?
not very nice this life sometimes innit eh? and peeps like harry really
stand no chance!
we all felt pretty bad about it anyway, life *isn't* fair!
anyway, a long time passed, several years, and we all basically forgot
about harry...
and then one day out of the blue who should turn up, but harry!
and he was a completely different person! looked older and wiser too!
apparently, he'd perforce become a total junky and ended up in jail, and
then rehab and then night classes in that order, got himself a sociology
degree and was now counseling other ex-junkies on their release from
prison! the change in him was remarkable! the smak had somehow leveled him right out and an education had done wonders for him!
a survivor see? he'd bloomed above the cesspit he'd once been drowning in! which for someone like harry was indeed remarkable! to come back from the
dead like that?? and to not only come back but to come back stronger and clearer than ever before! literally harry 2.0! and he's not talking shit
all the time either! (i tested him!)
impressed me anyway that even morons like harry can excel, and i mean
'really' excel!
and not just from heroin (arguable the worst/most-possessive trap) either,
but from anything!
just depends on the breaks i suppose...
my next book: survivor's tales! :)
(have actually got a whole collection of such startling true-tales, maybe
i should...)
