We live in a strange world where sleep
deprived and stressed out people commute long hours to get in prison-like
offices to work on meaningless jobs that will create no real value in the real
world. They don't have true friends but a network of loose ties based on short
term mutual use. They are looking for true love but never find it because their
conception of love is a joke, a myth propagated by TV shows. They are looking
for a princess or a prince but they never work on themselves to become a prince
or a princess. Meanwhile, their kids are spending more time with strangers than
with their own parents. In their world, the farmers producing their food and
the teachers raising their kids earn (a lot) less than movie celebrities,
professional athletes and stock traders. They live longer but sadder lives in
weak bodies wrecked by refined foods, lack of physical activity, stress and bad
posture - not to mention substance abuse. They want to save the animals of the
worlds while eating factory produced meat. They give to charities helping
foreign people on distant lands while their fellow citizens are living in the
streets a few blocks away. They want to save the planet while being part of a
consumer society doing the exact opposite. They burn tons of fuel to spend a
week on the beach in exotic places they will never take the time to truly
understand or appreciate. Every morning, they drink coffee from disposable cups
going straight to already full landfills. They are against slave labour with
their mouths, but their wallets buy products made by slaves: smartphones,
sneakers, t-shirts. They pay ridiculous prices for worthless goods that they
were told are desirable: small rocks (diamonds) and rags (designer clothing). They
dream of a better life but don’t go after it. They sit idle in front of the TV,
watching the latest show or sports game. They are afraid of terrorists, plane
crashes, lurking thieves and dangerous animals even though these dangers are statistically
insignificant. At the same time, they embrace what will surely kill them: fast
food, idle lifestyle, obesity, stress and driving to work. The internet gave
them access instantly and effortlessly to the whole breadth of human knowledge
but they use it to gossip on social networks, share cat pictures and watch
porn. They have no internal values to guide them and thus are walking in
between lines that were drawn for them by laws, social norms and religion.
Their education clipped their wings therefore they go after what objective was
sold to them as desirable. They have lost the ability to question things, to
doubt. They are fed edulcored news engineered by the ruling class. They have no
idea as to why they are here and what they should do with their lives. And
while they aimlessly slave away, their stupidity is killing the only habitat
they will ever have. And then one day, after a meaningless life, their time and
life energy forever wasted, they will die an unoriginal death. And the only
thing that will be left is their trash in some landfill. This will be their
legacy.
