we’re not obliged to accept the world’s definitions….It’s part of a societal illusion which (is that) we’re expected to believe, so that you can react to it and be distracted from the main point which is one’s relationship to each other. and you have to somehow begin to break out of all of that and try to become yourself. we’re here to make our own definitions and begin to rule the world that way.
