People are stupid. Yes! A very straightforward way to put it
but that is the truth. We live in a society that will accept anything as
“valid”, “logical” or “rational” if it’s appealing enough. No need for proof,
no need for thinking. Just blindly jump in the gutter without having a clear
idea of what’s there in it. That’s when they drown. The smarter ones stand on
the precipice and stare at the ones drowning but offer no help. People claim to
be intellectuals or call others intellectuals or sometimes even term arguments
as “intellectual” and call it a “debate”… by giving it another word, it doesn’t
become anymore significant. One asshole sitting on the throne of president
decides to wage wars on a helpless, less powerful country only because he and a
few other morons had an issue and they call it “just”. How can something as
stupid as war ever be justified? Is that intellectual? For one man’s own
problem, he drags the whole country into a state of war. How fucking
intellectual!
We are raised on television, books, education, drama, sex, advertisements, the internet and the bullshit prophesying of our elders and teachers who tell us that we must earn money and be rich, be capable, be “good” and so on. It’s a bad joke. Throughout our lives everything and everyone around us try to convince us that we were made for something glorious or something special that we actually start believing it. Then suddenly when we are 30yrs of age, we wake up in our own cold sweat with a wife who’s fattening with age and two kids pulling on your legs and we wonder how the fuck did we get here when our purpose in life was something else. And that pisses us off. We are pissed off but who’s to blame but ourselves? He hid behind the lying warmth of the curtains of positivity and optimism thinking that we were something special when we were nothing more than some decaying piece of worthless crap just passing time because there isn’t anything better to do, complicating everything, giving meaning to things that don’t matter, studying shit that we don’t like to just to get jobs that will give us our meals, give in to the social norms of starting a family and eventually die an insignificant death without ever accomplishing anything that made a difference at all. Our existence is a fucking joke.
People believe that the only way to survive is to lead a good life. What is “good”? Why hold that image? Just because people said so? People are stupid. They themselves are the ones who will try their best to hold a “good” image. “Oooh! Look at me! I don’t smoke, I don’t drink, I’m a virgin, I pray, I’m holy, I passed, I study, I do all the work in the house!” These are the assholes that hold this image to please the other insignificants. Trying to be something they are not. Pleasing people that don’t matter. This façade is immediately dropped at the first sign of trouble. Take a person who thinks he is elite and throw him in cell for seven days without food and water and then throw a loaf of bread at him. I highly doubt he’ll wait for his fork and spoon. His etiquette and table manners will be thrown out like trash. Why pretend to be something you are not? Money, television, railways, language, institutions and mostly everything you see was created by man. Man made laws, rules and regulations which are indefinitely forced upon us. Why follow them? Why not give in to the savage within us? Why not let chaos take control and go back to the people nature intended us to be? Just because we think we are superior? Or because we think we can evolve into something more? What’s the point of this evolution when your face is all wrinkled and you can barely move?
People will give out vague justifications and try to argue with you on why you need to follow laws, rules and regulations or why you need to behave properly in a decent way but will you really think about all this when there is a gun placed on your head? The only thing you will think about is your life. Sooner or later that’s all that will be left. We cling on to it with such desperation. It’s fear that doesn’t let us let go. We will never give in to the savage because we are scared of the outcome or we are too comfortable living in the futility of our comforts. We want to be a part of society, we want people to accept us and we want to be recognized. It’s disgusting.
