Occasionally I find that I come across something or someone whom I have never heard of before, which for some reason or the other strikes a cord with me.
One recent occasion of this has been Bill Hicks. I don’t think I have heard of Bill until this last month, but now I have come across his writing and QUOTES several times. Not sure I would want to be associated with all of them, as some of them will for sure offend some people. Indeed the Bill Hicks website even says:
WARNING: This website contains everything your parents hate, everything the Church preaches against, everything the Government fears. Enjoy. – Bill Hicks
Anyway, the quote that really got my attention and one which I found it easy to resonate with was this:
The world is like a ride at an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it, you think it’s real because that’s how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it’s very brightly coloured and it’s very loud and it’s fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time, and they begin to question: Is this real, or is this just a ride? And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say:
“Hey – don’t worry, don’t be afraid ever, because this is just a ride.”
And we … kill those people.
A bit deep perhaps 
But like I said, it resonated with me.
