I Want To Write My Random Thoughts And Feelings
One of the biggest issues of our world, beneath all the hysteria and the drama, is this antiquated left-right paradigm that people almost willingly fall into. It's part of the game, the system itself. These paradigms (which seem to operate more like football teams) are literally destroying our ability to think and to function, individually and collectively. They turn people into word-spitting machines vying for the "superior" position. All the while, nobody is truly listening or even wants to listen. We all just want to be seen as right and mighty in the eyes of ourselves and others, because we think life is only ever about being right and looking good. We seem to forget that we're literally just a tiny ball in space orbiting but one galaxy, among hundreds of billions more. And here we are, fighting over these petty, meaningless distinctions about words, identities, and political groups. It really is kindergarten stuff...
We may as well face facts - that humanity will never ascend to the stars and beyond unless we do away with these s**t-brained paradigms; left-right, liberal-conservative, white-black, good-bad, right-wrong, etc. Don't we realise that our beliefs, attitudes, and our ideas don't have to fall into specific categories in order for them to still be valid and correct? It's perfectly ok and perfectly reasonably to take neutral stances on things. Perfectly 100% reasonable. Where do we get off thinking that there's only ever two sides to any debate or equation? I understand why. I just don't get how.
So long as people feel the need to pick a "side", as though it were a sport, this system will always win. The system relies on our willingness to want to hate others, to see them as different and separate from us so that we never truly unite and come together. That's when the house of cards falls down: the day we realise that nothing has ever held us back except ourselves and the extent of our hatred towards others. These well-guarded illusions are the only thing that's stopping us from becoming a master race exploring other galaxies. It isn't hyperbole to say that we can have and do anything... but certainly not while we're squabbling over what words make us feel better or which ideology is "the best". This kind of thinking will destroy us in the end. If we allow it...
