Like!

They lie, people lie… They’d like you to believe it when they tell you humans are judged and known by their actions, but the painful truth of the matter is that we’ve become a generation that can barely even tell what an action is. It seems some lack the ability to tell the difference between a question and a comment, go on; just go ahead and ask a philosophical yet simple question, and some would simply just hit ‘like’ what world do we live in where so few seek answers anymore, drooling idiots like bugs distracted by the slightest beam of light, and it’s not that we’re judgmental, no, it’s that first impressions are all we get anymore even with those we’ve known too long, and our analytical thinking is as dumb and ignorant as any judgmental look, listen to people talk and explain their ignorance in big fat words, talk of how they view life and themselves, dabble in religion and politics, self-proclaimed experts, but they taught themselves how to be idiots inside a well-dressed skin, it’s easy finding the glaringly wrong side, not so easy actually understanding it, telling the difference between what’s really wrong and what was caught in the crossfire, so no one tries to look anymore, if someone is wrong it means everything else around him\her is just as bad, yay look how smart we are, we’re smart ma… we’re… what? Critical, Liberal, Modern… heh, too many buckets of words that probably meant something important one day but that day has long gone fallen into murky waters in those buckets sullied by our something or other, so… Like!

The reason mankind never rests in peace is that there’s a war between our ability to think and our innate desire to find common grounds, common thoughts tuckered under umbrellas of labels and what’s sad is we look at the image from topside, sharing the view of the rain when it falls, eventually seeing nothing but the classifications others made of what’s this and that, what’s right and what’s wrong, all spread over a tiny canvas of colored spots wet with maybe our tears or others’, we just choose ones and accept as a whole and call the others names, call it judgmental, call it evolution, stereotypes, call it whatever you wish it to sound like, as long as you nod along and… Share!

I understand we need to find a perfectly acceptable moment for everything we do and everything we feel, but we fail to seek the same for our thoughts, we think but we never take a slightest attempt at earning those thoughts, and so in time they betray us, giving us away to mindless shatter of what others convey out of shallowness and laziness, we become who we really are, an emptier image of what we could’ve been if we tried better, and we didn’t because we didn’t; not out of failure, we let our minds find comfortable seats in corners occupied by others who seem relevantly familiar to our pain and gain, and we stick around for the warmth, for the cheers, but mainly out of fear… look around, people marching everywhere and chanting, a nation’s mid-life crisis, who thinks before they speak, who thinks before they act, who gives weight to these thoughts and tries to understand them, where they stem from and why, is every intelligent thought brought about by a half dead organ correct to become a messiah for our deeds… without either thought or doubt you’d become them; the ones you’d only notice if you weren’t one of them and hopefully over trying to be, without any meaningless progress of the mind they became empty drones, ready to be filled and fueled by the thoughts of others guiding them in mass to fulfill a desire and intention they will never comprehend, and it doesn’t make it any less wrong if the outcome is good.

The rules of MAN! Made by man to protect mankind, (Sorry Ladies; English is biased) can I get an “Amen!” What used to be a sin is now a right, not because we understand anything or believe in anything, but because we’re simply better than the ones before who -get this- made a lot of mistakes, if you fail to recognize the audacity of our irony then you’re a far better person than I am or just a fucking idiot, and what is now completely and without a doubt perceived as sinful is also right now a breakfast in bed routine somewhere else in the world, and by world I mean this little piece of rock we live in and think is so huge, what makes them right and we wrong? Are they better because we made slightly more mistakes or because we corrected past mistakes at a lesser pace, maybe they just had a head start on us, if born somewhere else a person would be that much different? Same age, same mind, just a plane ticket away, why can no one see this for what it is? A degrading scale of our reluctance, inevitably accepting the new for its fresh new looks, well know this; one day someone will wake up to go to work just like every other day cursing his luck for living in such a back warded country where even murder is illegal, they make it look so cool in movies, the right to bear arms? Why not use them? I mean if you let someone kill you it must’ve been your fault right? What… too absurd, right maybe start with something small like theft or bribery, then slowly crawl your way to bigger game, I mean it’s not like there are ever such glaring differences in our conception of sins, bad is bad right? And we’re perfectly capable of finding that out on our own. Exactly like we all agree that adultery and alcohol are… hmm I guess Gas & Alcohol Don’t Mix!
