I Love Honesty And Straight Forwardness

Since we came to this Earth we are taught.
Regulated through reward and punishment to do what others want.
We are labeled, placed in boxes, and objectified by our actions or looks based on accepted generalities society invented.
We must live with the fear of disapproval all our lives.
For we must meet the standards we were born into to be deemed worthy of acceptance.
If something has to exist first before it can ask for anything, then nothing asked to exist, since existing precedes asking.
So what is this “free will” people talk about?
I didn’t choose to exist, nor my body, mind, instincts, and what the world contains- from which I can work with but was simply born into it without prior investigation.
Love? What is that?
Attachment to a person, place, thing, or idea that pleases my sense of sight, smell, taste, hearing, or feeling?
Are we not just in love with ourselves since there’s no way to escape going after what we desire?
Self-preservation, selfishness is precisely what enables us to live because if we were selfless 100% and gave it all away we would be dead.
The fear of painful consequences whether physical, emotional, or social lies at the heart of the man-made concept of marriage and monogamy.
Contradict them and you’re left alone or worse.
Humans.
We are all possessive, controlling, self-serving beasts without control of our instinctual nature we had no choice over in the first place.
We are just told what to do.
To listen. We want. We tell and are told what to do or what we “should” do to “grow”.
All leading to where?
The inescapable trap of our flesh and being.
When ALL there is to life is seeking our form of pleasure and evading our form of pain.
But through distraction we lessen the sting.
Ideally it is better to be alone, to not hurt others or to be hurt, as the top part of a rose deceives others of its thorns.
But then monotony hits and then we seek to use or be used.

Actually it's not loneliness that hits it's the frail and defenseless constitution of the humans that kills you. Without modern constructs that you can thank society for, you are dead in days alone in the wild. We are social beasts, sure to exist as a society we must have rules and every generation when they get to the rebellious age puts the random rules under scrutiny and defies them, but then they grow up and realize the only reason for "being alone" actually being an option instead of meaning certain death is because society has evolved so far as to let you be part of it remotely. Living alone is not a curse nor a dream it's a privilege you couldn't enjoy without an ever evolving society and it's rules. Every generation challenges these rules and that's why these rules evolve, get better, sometimes they get worse but then find their way back up again. Every once in a while a great voice rises challenging the rules of society and makes a significant change , a new leap forward, but for the most part it's just people refusing to grow up and do their part in this machine that is humanity.
