Bill Hicks – It’s just a ride
http://www.billhicks.se
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 and it has thrills and chills and it’s very brightly colored 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 and they say ‘Hey! Don’t worry, don’t be afraid – ever – because… this is just a ride.’ And we kill those people.
‘Shut him up! We have a lot invested in this ride! Shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry; look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real.’
It’s just a ride. But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that – ever notice that? – and we let the demons run amok. But it doesn’t matter, because… it’s just a ride, and we can change it any time we want. It’s only a choice. No effort. No worry. No job. No savings and money. Just a choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your door, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one.
Here’s what we can do to change the world, right now, into a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defense each year and, instead, spend it feeding, clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would do many times over – not one human being excluded – and we can explore space together, both inner and outer, forever. In peace.

Why not…….. …
Why not……..There is an infinite space in our backyard but because we’re so busy putting money into trying to annihilate each other in a more efficient way we have not discovered an efficient way to travel to distant planets and reach out to whatever form of intelligent life may be on them………..

It’s just a ride and we can change it any time we want. It’s only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings and money, a choice, right now, between fear and love. R.I.P

Aw thank you so …
You see it accurately, I don’t put humans below other animals – I put them on par. All animals should have equal right to their essential freedoms. They thumbed me down because they’ve been taught to be anti-vegan, exacerbated by what they’ve been misled to believe about it being unhealthy etc etc. When I said “go vegan” I meant that as a positive, healthy, reasonable path of non-violence. I’m not anti-human, I care about all animals including humans. Take care 
Aw thank you so much

i think everyone who sees this and is effected by it should show it to people (email, facebook etc) and encourage others to do the same …help them by explaining it. imagine if this knowldege were to effect large amounts of people….maby bill really could change things

Cognitive dissonance.. but thats not bad.. people who understood this already knew about reality.. to open ones eyes and thus change ones opinion from old to new, realisation somet has to grow from a seed to a tree, this video was the seed for some. they dont understand it now. maybe in about 2 months they learn some different things and think ohh now i get it,, u may exp this too with friends.first u go of course i told u 2 months ago,but it was the seed AND the time, that was needed!:)

I worked out where you can get off the ride.
It starts with a good hard look inside and deal with all your ugly parts and forgive yourself for them. Then you help someone out, even if it’s a small bit of help and you’ll help yourself.
Bill is an enlightened being and you should follow what he says.
I hate a great deal about man, but want to live a life of peace and happiness and be able to forgive us all. Bill helped me to see that.
WANT LESS, BE HAPPIER!
Pass It On!
