Ah! Welcome back one and all! I recalled you all because I stumbled upon a revelation! I think I've figured out the ever elusive 'truth'!

Now I ask you all again to buckle down and throw away your prejudice on this one.

The truth is spiritual and physical. It exists and it doesn't exist. Sound strange? Oh course it does! What I'm trying to say is that  the truth is opposition. Take for example yin and yang. They are the two symbols for good and evil. Now think about it for a second. These two forces battle constantly, and what is in between battles? That uneasy fragile alliance between the two. That  feeling that makes you constantly look over your back.

That's right ponies and people. The truth of life is tension. Without it life is boring, with it life moves faster. Now the tension will be discussing is the tension of movement.

Oh bother I'm getting ahead of myself. There is two types of tension; the one you are familiar with the uneasy feeling that something's about to go down. Then there is much more subtle one, the one that has been driving evolution for billions upon billions of years.

Some may call it ambition. I call it that feeling you get when your sitting by yourself thinking " what am I doing with my life?"  Ever since you were little you've always felt it, that sort of buzzing uneasy sensation urging you on.

This is what caused human beings to emerge from their relative caves to discover all the things that make civilization. This is what makes us strive to become better, faster, stronger. It is that which causes us to move forward 'the driving force' as some may put it.

It is that dis-ease in your heart that cries out for more. More more more more more it cries and cries. And you want to know why it calls?

Because it can, plain and simple. Now keep in mind what i'm doing here is basically grouping evolution and other aspects of history together so it's fine if you disagree with this.

Now, this tension only evaporates when you've lost all control of your life and body. See, sentient beings were graced with the curse of self-awareness and action control.

Animals however simply follow their instincts. They grow up, hunt and kill and eat, find a mate and have sex, give birth and repeat. Sentient beings however have something called 'self-awareness'.

Basically this is what we want it to be. We can literally do anything we want free of instinctive control. This means we can eat whenever we want and not if we're hungry. This means that we can go through life without finding a mate, hell we can go through life without having sex! That doesn't mean I urge you to become abstinent i'm just using it as an example.

We're always thinking of ways to make our lives better. "Oh! If I get together with her I can life happily!" You subconsciously think while looking at a girl in a bar. Your actual consciou thinks "oh hey! She looks nice I guess I should talk to her." In essence we are happiness junkies always looking to get that high through our own actions.

I'll tell you something though. Us sentient beings are happiest when we have absolutely no control of our lives and we don't know it. This doesn't mean become a drug addict and stuff. Okay here's an example. To those of you who've been on a roller coaster. You find yourself scared as it begins to churn, however you find yourself enjoying it later as you raise your hands. You find yourself smiling uncontrollably as it twists and turns in death defying manuevers and you think

"HOLY SHIT!" This is the only thought that fills your mind. Nothing about home, life, or family matters as you speed through the track. Afterwards you find yourself filled with a pleasant buzzing sensation as well as nausea.

Anyway what I'm trying to say is that you feel your best when you can't possibly do anything else. Like taking a test, your worried about it until you turn it in which gives you a small burst of satisfaction as you think to yourself "well nothing I can do!"

Think about it for a second. Your constantly doing things because feel tension but your happiest when you can't do anything at all.

Don't you find this a bit ironic? Because I certainly do. Your constantly doing things in search of happiness but the only way to truly feel it is if you give up!

Now that ladies and gentlemen is grade A comedy.

Author's note: I am so sorry if this chapter seems half-assed to you, I've been having a bloody bad case of writer's block on this. It's gotten so bad that i've taken to smashing my head against a wall in hopes of smacking something that's gone dead inside. What i'm trying to say is sorry.
