I Get Lost In My Thoughts Sometimes
Let’s make an effort to unite all of us humans.
Let’s put religions/relationships aside, culture, social stigmas, wealth, or any other category.
Let’s state undeniable facts that no matter WHO you are or how much money you have are self-evident.
We did not ask to exist as we are the product of the consequence of the action of two individuals we call our parents. Furthermore, something has to exist first before it can ask for anything. Therefore nothing asked to exist.
We did not choose or make our brain, body, or instincts. We did not choose or make the world and all it contains with its plants, animals, and people. We did not choose to have to destroy living things such as plants and animals to survive by eating them or building homes. We did not choose money, we have had to find a way to make money to survive, money is an agreed upon necessity that existed as a means to survival prior to us being born in this world. We did not choose the religion, culture, habits, norms, and ways of people that we were born INTO and had to be taught.
We have all been forced to adapt to this world through reward and punishment to manage to survive by being found pleasing, productive, and harmless. Should we not be found to be pleasing, productive, and harmless we are negatively labeled, sent to be “fixed”, locked up, or eliminated. This is a world where if you do what others want, they “love” you, but if you don’t do what others want they don’t want to be around you.
As humans there is no way to escape how our five senses seek that which they find more pleasurable and instinctively avoid what is displeasing.
Putting all of these points together we realize we have the same fears: painful consequences, and the same desires: To be acknowledged and find pleasure in survival.
This is an apathetic reality. A reality none of us chose. Where we all have been forced to adapt. Yet what can you and I do to make our human existence on Earth less apathetic and more humane? Even if all we can do is a slight shift towards empathy and understanding it is worth it. The challenge is that you and I must think of ways, however minuscule, to make that slight impact towards sincerity of heart and mutual acceptance.
