Here is an attempt to write about the world looking at it from the big picture, all angles no biases, no leaning to the right, no leaning to the left..
Nothing Cutstuff related in particular. I was discussing how the world was messed up with a couple friends on Skype chat, and ended up trying to write a solution to how we might fix the flaws. In the end it wasn't a solution, but an observation instead.
Dr. Crasger'sThe Solution to LifeThe way we are taught, the way we learn and live. There is a flaw. But I can't easily pinpoint what it is. It could be because we are often distracted, it could be because we have so many flaws it's hard to pick one. But as they say: 'one man's trash is another's treasure.' One man's flaw is another’s perfection. Also, what would life be without flaws? It would be fucking boring if we didn’t have conflict; if there was no dysfunction, life wouldn’t be interesting. Now to cite the problems and my observations…
We all can't coexist. One man can’t be happy without another being completely miserable. We can't get along, because throughout life, the way we are raised brings us to where we want to end up. Our experiences and views are different, but in a way, all the same. None of us are really important, nor are we special.
Money is imaginary, social statuses are imaginary. When you get right down to it, the humans are just animals, obviously. Evolved to a point where it got intelligent and questioned its existence. Started to learn, wanted to learn. Having learned, eventually started building the way our society works. It should be noted that we always misinterpret what our ancestors meant. What if their legends, works and religions were all just done for entertainment? What if the future generations misinterpret our works, legends, laws and etc. for something else?
In the end all the laws and rights we had were all just imaginary. The concepts we had were all a way to try and explain the world for us. Time, is only a concept. Numbers, language, religion and the government are all concepts.
Think about it. Religion was created to bring people to the supposed "correct path of living life" and in the end if you did good things before you died, you would be rewarded. You got those concepts going there, the fact that there is a goal. The Bible was written by a group of people, who wanted to tell the others how to live. They wrote the concepts down and laid them out to tell the people to follow them and their crusade to rid the world of all its problems.
Somewhere, somebody screwed up.
It turned into a whole war just because one way of life didn't agree with the other, in fact, we still have that problem till today, but on an even bigger scale than the last time. The universe is a stage, where all of this will and have taken place. I feel like I need to see all of it first, but that is impossible. The entire history of the world is questionable, as it repeats itself with different forms of society. Ever notice that?
We all had similar problems, problems that even now haven't been fixed, some of the major ones in fact. Sure the world is close to peace and all of that. But it's only taking place really slowly, REALLY slowly. Meanwhile there are side-plots here and there. People live their lives, and die. A chain reaction occurs, but we all know how that works. The stage is the same, the little blue dot. Technology and the search for knowledge progresses, but with progress, the problems that have already been solved disappear and new problems will arise.
Religion and Laws should not be taken too seriously, but should be followed at least, preferably with a grain of salt, just in case it was wrong all along. But it seems to not be the key to a perfect world, which, like the infinite horizon, constantly eludes our grasps. This huge block of text I'm writing has probably been said before, in another language, in another way.
We just copy what has already been done, modify it and pass it off as original. Sure there’s still truly original work being made here and there, but with all the things that have already been done. We can’t just make something and not reference what has already been done.
We repeat ourselves. The next generation of the current one is raised in a way that they don’t like what the current generation has done and try to change it, for better or for worse. They create the next generation, and the process repeats itself.
Going back to the topic earlier... Not being able to be equal, and not being special at the same time sure is an oxymoron, but if you look at everything from all angles is true. Look at even more angles and everything starts getting messed up.
WHAT IF. We all agreed. Everyone stops at what they are doing and gathers into one place and discusses using all that they can, whatever talents or skills they might have to try and fix society, and in the end, find that what they must do is to eliminate each other and everyone. That would be a pretty buggered up idea wouldn’t it? This idea doesn’t sound too far-fetched looking back at history. We’re a self-destructive species. To quote a man who had a point: “Life is worth losing”
.
So this is what it’s all about I guess. Generations of us, living, dying, working, playing and doing whatever they can to help someone who is in turn trying not to help another. While others work to fix the world, there are some who work to try and destroy it. We’re all enemies, we’re all the antagonists of this story, but at the same time, if you look at it from another perspective… we were heroes. If there was a book written with all the perspectives that are produced with each character added… it would be pretty fucked up.
So therefore, the ultimate (and obvious) answer to life for a human is undeterminable, because we all have our own wishes.
Man, thinking about how the fuck everything works, and the way the human race had created itself and turned it into something like this, sure is confusing. We’re a rather strange species.
The goal of the human race just might be to distract itself from ever realizing what the fuck is going on here. It's too much for us to handle. You ever notice that some facts in history go unrecorded? We only take the desirable moments, which is sad, but I am a hypocrite on this one, since I too don’t want to remember the times where I embarrassed myself or did something stupid. You know what life is overcomplicated. We’re overcomplicating things. I overcomplicated this.
You know what, just live it how you want and don’t let others ruin your good time. Try to make others happy as well. We’ll have none of that materialistic happiness bullshit. Just make others happy any way you can even if you have to be a cynic. Don’t lie about things people are rather concerned about, but silence doesn’t count as lying… when they ask well then tell them god dammit; lying is alright if it actually does more good than spilling it so be careful with your words and actions. The overall point I’m trying to tell you folks is…
DON’T BE AN ASSHOLE (to yourself or to others.)
EDIT: Changed ending and some text. Made it less cheesy.
That is all.
