I was bored late one night and thus---this!
Everyone is told the same thing: ‘be nice to other people, but beat out the competition.’ Well, not exactly like that, but it’s figures, no? ‘You’re special.’ ‘Believe in yourself and you will succeed.’ But it’s obvious from the start that only a few can. You exercise your right to ‘freedom’ and this is the result. All the rhetoric to avoid conflict and protect each other from hurt. The untested truths spun by different interests continue to churn and accumulate in the sandbox of political correctness and valve systems. Everyone withdraws into their own small gated community, afraid of a larger forum. They stay inside their little ponds, leaking whatever ‘truth’ suits them into the growing cesspool of society at large. The different cardinal truths neither clash nor mesh. No one is invalidated, but nobody is right. Now even natural selection can take place here. The world is being engulfed in ‘truth.’ ‘And this is how the world ends. Not with a bang, but with a whimper.’ That which you call ‘self’ serves as nothing more than a mask to cover your own being. In this era of ready made ‘truths’, ‘self’ is just something used to preserve those positive emotions that you occasionally feel, and another possibility is that ‘self’ is the concept you borrowed under the logic that it would endow you with some sense of strength. Ironic that although ‘self’ is something you yourself fashioned, every time something goes wrong, you turn around and place that blame on something else. In denial, you simply resort to looking for another, more convenient ‘truth’ in order to feel better about yourself leaving behind in an instant the so-called ‘truth’ you once embraced. Should someone like you be allowed to decide what ‘truth’ is or have the right to decide? The individual is supposed to be weak. But far from powerless—A single person has the potential to ruin the world.
Sig...or Cig.
