sathorOnce, I was a boy.
I didn't care why things were the way they were, though sometimes I did wonder...
It was life, and that was good enough I suppose.
But now that I'm a man, I feel the world with shattered hands, with cursed eyes.
It is nothing more than layer upon layer of insanity upon layers of illogical behavior and existence.
Why do you do what you do?
Because it makes you happy.
Because it makes ends meet.
Because it makes someone else happy.
Everything we do has a basis, and it either helps ourselves or someone else.
If you make money, your productivity makes someone else more money than you're making.
You're not even getting 1% of what that person is making, yet you continue to live this existence in a capitalist society which rules every move you make.
There is no freedom, no escape.
You act as though democracy is somehow the best option. It's not. If you like small percentages of rich people and insanely high percentages of those lower class, then maybe it is, but that probably puts in you the 'rich people' group.
No one wants to be poor. Most people who are either are that way because they are too 'lazy' or they were born into it.
But what is poor? Define poor? Does the rich man have more happiness than the poor man? Surely not always.
There are an infinite amount of angles to be viewed. I am but scratching the surface. I am but a drop in the ocean, I am nothing.
I hate society, and i hate capitalism. Most importantly, I hate those of you who read this and think, "Wow, what a lunatic."
You are foolish to believe capitalism and the current way of things is correct. We could change them if we tried, but you're all to apathetic to do that now. Welcome to your age of bondage to a force you created. You gave them the power, and they will use it. Good luck, fools.

Idealism may be foolish, but at least my views are in the mindset of a better world.

Date: 2004-08-16 03:02 am (UTC)its hard for you as a teenager in america to actually do anything to change, but had prez bush had the same views he could've actually changed something.
so the point is to slowly change everyone, so that in the end people in powerful positions will see whats wrong and do something about it, although that may take awhile.
