PART I

OF CAPITULATION: THE ACCEPTANCE OF MEDIOCRITY

You lie somewhere, somewhere between the earth you rape and the life you waste

You’ve never really lived, but have yet to die completely

You stand in limbo breathing, existing

Refusing to make the most of the opportunities that have been afforded to you

Seeing without watching, hearing without listening

You are a nothing

Celebrate the fact that in the short time your heart continues to beat,

Nothing is what you have amounted to

You were given this gift of being,

But you ungratefully do so without a sense of purpose or direction

A great tragedy it is that this gift be wasted on those who do not wish it be so

The reflexes of your flesh allow you to continue your charade

Convenient, since you lack the willpower to do so on your own

Your instincts tell you when to sleep and when to eat

They fill your lungs with air and force your blood to flow

For some this is enough

To sustain a pulse and delay for as long as possible the great abstinence that is death

You are a failure

An embarrassment of nature

The intellectual capabilities you posses and chose to waste are an abomination

Self improvement and enlightenment are concepts that will remain foreign to you right up until your last breath

Somewhere along the lines Darwinism has failed

The proud and the strong make sacrifices to an unappreciative and overwhelmingly indifferent majority of the weak

Evolution used to mean more to our species than growing in and out of our tails

Some men may have indeed been created equal

Disregarding the excuses of retardation and deformity

These men, however, will not remain as equals

So long as they posses the ability to become something far greater and more powerful than their peers

Only some of us will choose to do so

Far more will gladly accept their mediocrity
Exchanging the often times difficult road to deification for the more comfortable and predictable path of conformity

The Right-Hand Path is teeming with examples of such capitulation

Willing victims of organizational and often times religious hypocrisy
