It's so intricate - this society.
While we always have to conform with everybody's expectations, we, ourselves, sink into our deepest, darkest forms, hopelessly trying to catch up with the winds of trend.
It's sad to think that decades ago, we used to give meaning to the word "CIVIL". Now, all we hold on to is the word "HOPE" for us to be civil again.
Streets are darkened. Skies are reddened. Our children will breathe in air that will kill them slowly. Food will become scarce and shelters will cease to be available for the many.
Maybe the hoax apocalypse is not a hoax at all. Maybe what the Mayans were trying to say was that there will be a certain point in time that everything has to end. And when that time comes, we will be denying ourselves the truth, depriving the smallest sign of life. Of hope. Of what small amounts of humanity remains within us. The society eats us up by devolving us and leading us the wrong way.
Have you ever noticed how people in the early 18th to 20th century seem to be extensively smarter than the people of our contemporary times? It was because they craved for knowledge of how things work. Not fighting over who gets to keep the oil (although wars induced the creation of certain formulas that can be considered masters of modern destruction).
It was necessity that drove them to become great and elite. They weren't satisfied in mediocrity. They are driven by the necessity to survive. To live. To learn. Necessity taught them to bring themselves up to create a better society. A society that unfortunately, created its own evil and is eating us now. We all fell apart. Because we let ourselves fall. This wasn't what they lived for. This wasn't what they died for.
As much as I want to sound optimistic, it would only lead to a debate of ideology and a dream of utopia. Hope? Yes, I wish it would exist. I wish it does. But from a new viewpoint, I can only see despair. One can only hope for a better tomorrow. Because based from what we do everyday, on how we fight for our ridiculous beliefs that lead to nonsensical bullshit, on how we treat our home and resources,
I don't mean to sound discouraging. I'm just stating the facts. Based from how people make decisions today, if an opportunity to survive presents itself in front of us, we would take a picture of it, post it in the net and forget about it in the next 10 minutes.
Sad. But unacceptably true.
