I have noticed that often what is (unconsciously) beneath paranoia is envy. Envy"that others are taking up one's space in the world and are plotting to maintain the arrangement. Solution: Punch a hole in bubbles of denial and addiction and take a look for yourself. Insist on your portion of life -- your portion of fate.

Many situations in this life are rigged e.g., the gamed system of the corporate state. But life itself is too vast, too intricate to be rigged; it is truly too big to fail. Now: To the streets, glistening with renewing rain"to the flaming barricades"its flames caress the future. Come out of self-exile; you are the change you can believe in.
