Civilization wasn't inevitable.
Humanity could've chosen to dream only of seeing the sunrise tomorrow and a full belly the night before.
But we didn't.
Somewhere along the way, we agreed to dream of the day after tomorrow and the day after that.

Civilization alone is a phantom.
A collective waking dream directed by the lucid.
A dream without a dreamer is less than a ghost.
Entropy is the enemy of the dream.
It seeks to twist it into a nightmare of chaos.

Even black holes have entropy contained in the ever-growing chaos of the event horizon.
One could wonder if the fall of civilization is inevitable, just more entropy.
I say it isn't unless we agree otherwise.

As far as I know, the shared consciousness of an idea is the one thing the stands against it.
An idea alone is mortal.
Our bodies age, our synapses falter.
Entropy.
Darkness.
Free will is the choice to dream.
To adapt and live on despite the chaos.

The very notion of socialism is a dream killer.
Pure entropy.
Extinction.
Darkness.
It is the great lie that tells the end but not the story because the story is hard.
Like covering your eyes during a scary movie.
Why even go to the cinema?

I hope we make the right choice.
The choice to take control even though it seems hard
I hope we keep our eyes open and dream even bigger instead of surrendering our will to the lie of happy ever after.
We have to; the dream depends on it.
Because civilization isn't inevitable.
