It's an important thing to doubt our ways of life. To second-guess our ways of thought. To explore brilliant and exotic perspectives, or perhaps some which just take an angle slightly varied from yours. It's an important thing to compare and contrast decades, years, months, weeks and even days in your life, to see how you've grown or changed; to learn the phases one's self would go through.

And that. . .  is just from an individuals perspective. 

It's quite a word isn't it? Perspective. A point of view, either from one's eye or from one's mental-eye. With perspective, we can look at ourselves in a new light, we can shed the light on faults and shun our benefits, or else vice-versa. Throughout the growth of human civilisation we've gone through a wee bit of a transition. We've grown from individuals to tribes, from tribes to villages, from villages to districts, from districts to civilisations. Nowadays, we're even facing the breaking down of the walls between countries; meta-physical of course, with the advent and growth of communication. Looking at the recent past we can see that some societies were closed off and isolated; thus ignorant. In said societies there would be but a learned man who would have the entire society in the centre of his greedy palms. Without comparing their ideas to others people wouldn't be able to improve upon themselves on a mental level, unable to go through micro-evolution, again, metaphysically speaking. In those days travel = a new world = a higher education. It was that simple.

Today technology has brought us even closer to people across the freaking world than 5 years ago. And if ideologies and bits of information are being sent to and fro in modern society, aren't we all that closer to attaining a higher level of enlightenment than before? With all these different perspectives we should all be fucking philosophers and discussing the meaning of life over tea.

Well, let me explain why; amidst the populous we still have people who choose to be ignorant, people who can't adapt to society and wish to remain in their own little world of ideas while still insisting to be part of an evolving world, people who are not fully educated in schools. For example, the teenager that thinks she's bulletproof and meets up with alexwang73. The raging, middle-aged men who troll youtube insulting people who are different to them just because that's how their dad acted. Muslims, homosexuals, drug-users, African Americans, you name it, we still have people who hate them blindly for being different. We have people who dub an alternate persona and assume to be smarter and more educated than the others around them and then start spewing drivel on things they know nothing about

The eon of the Internet is a double-edged sword. Why? It's so vast that people can lock themselves in their own little corner of security, where they won't be judged or ridiculed, engulfing them in 'truths' that in the end are nothing more than the walls of a Haven. A Haven of retardation. This is all something I've been contemplating and studying very heavily recently, but I feel it's ready to be unleashed to you all :3

So go forth, learn, and teach me something too.

Do you phail?

Do you suck? Do you fail at most anything and just about everything you attempt to do? Is your IQ equal to or below that of a fornicating baboon? 

Terrific. 

Well, after that little ego-slap, you'll be glad to know that you are really what makes today's modern society what it is; You are what makes the world go round. You are what gives teachers a job and hence the mere name for their otherwise non-existent occupation. You are the economy's little LEGO block. Without you, life would suck, we'd all be living in a communist society, and America would have their current president driving the nation's kids to school or picking up trash from the citizens' sidewalk. 

You see, the truth about today is brutal, yet fulfilling. It makes you hate life, but makes you feel all the more significant. Just imagine a world in which everyone had a brilliant mind. Imagine EVERYBODY had a mind as great as that of A. Einstein or S. Hawking. Nobody would settle for any occupation lesser than that upholding the title of a 'profession' (Unless of course you're a Spartan).  Nobody would ever settle for anything less than the grade of a lawyer, doctor, architect, physicist, surgeon, IT analyst, Golden Rock idol or Hollywood superstar. Thing is, in the end, all these occupations require the involvement of the ignorant, dense, empty-headed, clueless, thick and seemingly insignificant 'nobodies' (of course - to the sophisticated class of person such as the aforementioned lot) - More commonly known as 'the average Joe' or 'the middle-class'. Of course, YOU, who is reading this, are below this. You are the 'low-class'. You are society's condom; Works MOST of the time, able to purchase in bulk, hated by most everyone, prevents unwanted things from happening, cheap, and keeps everybody happy in the end once you do your job as others see fit -But most of all - You represent that tiny little element of  fear which everybody dismisses, but see significant enough to keep and not complain about no matter how uncomfortable they may be. 

If everybody sports a profession of the previously mentioned calibre - who will be left to collect our trash every morning? To drive our children to our sickeningly expensive colleges? To sweep our streets? To aggressively chop our trees down for all the scented paper we will be using for our fancy documents and invoices? To print and deliver our morning paper? Who will be left to work in the now vacant sweat-shops and stitch our soccer balls together for a quarter a day? Who will be there to milk our cows and slaughter our bulls? Who will be there to print those now obviously nonexistent 'Made in China' labels on our now no longer existing massively produced consumer goods? Heck - Who will be our new China? 

Nobody. 

This is why you are so priceless. This is why you are such a commodity. This is why the world needs you.

I love you, stupid people - You give me shit to write about.
