start swimming against the tide of stupid in order to catch the wave of higher awareness; as u think, so it will be; accepting deterioration as the default of current conditions will let more deterioration happen in your life as well as in the world at large; people collectively create the conditions they have to live in/with;

masters of thot, care, & action do not get swayed by the tides, they put in the hard work intelligently and ride the waves;
