			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Johnny Whitney said it best on The Blood Brother’s track Devastator, from the album Crimes (which, by the way, as an album is brilliant): ‘everybody needs a little devastation.’ Our reasons for needing this dereliction may differ, but we all still nonetheless need it. Myself? I require a sense of crushing morbidity and something which could be termed as a self-oppression to keep me motivated: to make me carry on striving for whatever fatuous desire has taken hold of me that given day; week; month &#8211; I always operate better with a little bit of sadness in my mind. Some need it for some sort of vindication of their efforts: if all is not to go to plan, something determinable as ‘devastation’ may help them to see that the efforts weren’t in vain per se: something came of them &#8211; of course, this makes sense: it’s a way of anticipating failure and a symptom of the inevitability of the decay of flesh; the feeling that all earthly actions have to play a part in some design in order that they not be completely and utterly redundant. Both of these are human reactions: coping mechanisms.</p>
<p>Others, and these are the type which (yes, which &#8211; I can’t consider them any more than sacks of flesh: nothing ‘personable’ about them) I can’t stand, need their devastation to help them forget about their pasts: they need it as a distraction. These people will hyperbolise every little event in their shallow little lives to make out that every action which they undertake is somehow self-derelicting and how every action undertaken by others unto them is with the sole end of derelicting them. These are the people who repress their less favourable memories and instead choose to focus on their abundant ‘negatives’ they fathom from the recesses of clearly idle minds; rather than dealing with the aforementioned true negatives. These are the people who make the temporary infinite and strip the temporal of any concept of meaning, no matter how fleeting. These people cling onto their fallacies to prevent themselves from having to deal with their undesirable realities: these people relentless lie to themselves and have no way to stop themselves.</p>
<p>These people become their own sense of self-imposed devastation. These people devastate me.</p>
