The Flaws of life..

So I found this article. Please read, comment and enjoy:

Damn, is our society flawed or what? You don't believe me? You think it's fine? Well, you've obviously been brainwashed by all of these so-called "public officials." Yes, they say they're doing the right thing. They say to follow them in their example. The wrong things are encouraged by them. Think about it. Anti-creativity and anti-individualism run rampant. Today's society is all about conformity, conformity, conformity. What if I don't want to conform? Then I'm a bad person. I deserve punishment. I'm going to hell. Why? Because we're not allowed to have our own point of view.

Again, think about it. In our presidential election, who gets the final say? The electoral college. The third arm of the government. Why can't the election just be based on the popular vote? Well apparently we can't be trusted to make the right decision. Apparently, us people will treat it more like a popularity contest rather than a political election. But my biggest question is, how do they know that? It's simple really. They were the hovering parent, making sure we turned out the way they wanted us to be. That is, as weak as possible so they can keep their power and make all of our decisions for us. Sure, right now I probably sound like some crazy conspiracy theorist. But that's my opinion.

That's right, MY opinion. No outside influences here. Believe it or not, I developed my own sense of belonging, my own sense of self, my own sense of identity. There are definitely others like me. There are definitely others who believe that what society is doing is wrong. Think about the order of importance in society. A great example is society's most powerful tool, school.

Schools are powerful, relentless, and malicious. From a young age, we are suckered into the trap that is nearly impossible to escape from. Some of the values impressed upon us are rational. For example, no bullying. That makes some sense. However, if you are being bullied, go to a teacher. God forbid we try and work it out ourselves. We're too weak and dumb to do that. Instead, we are taught to rely on others to solve our problems for us. And this starts at a very young age, around 4-5 years old. We aren't taught the necessary problem solving skills for real life. If we had been taught, then society's officers would lose control and free-thinking would result. Oh No! We can't have that! But not only do schools teach you how to depend on others, they also place the most value on the least important subjects. Music, art, and theater aren't encouraged. Math, science, and history are valued more. Would you like to know why? It's because there's no individualism involved in any of those subjects. History happened already so how can one be able to identify with it. Math is only numbers and equations. We can't compare ourselves to equations. The complexity would just lead to more ineptitude. As for science, it has theories and hypotheses, but no place for creativity. Science criticizes the fun in an experiment. Art however gives one the ability to express their individualism. We can't have that. We can't have people going around with their own opinions. We can't lose control. Why not? I honestly see no valid reason.

That's because there is no reasoning with society. There is only listening to it and obeying it. However, if a public official were to see this, he would dismiss this passage as frivolous. A passage which cannot be substantiated when in fact, it can be. just read all of the above dummy, and then tell me that this cannot be substantiated. But, being as stubborn as all public officials are he would still start an expensive campaign against my passage and succeed too. Not only succeed in excommunicating me and my passage from the flawed society, but also succeeding in further brainwashing all of you poor people.

That's right, you're all just a bunch of poor souls. You need someone to keep you alive, rather than doing it yourself. You need one of these public officials to formulate an opinion for you. You poor souls. You don't have the ability to stand up. You can't even crawl. You're the infant who can do nothing but roll around on your stomach while your parent guides you in THEIR desired direction. Sure, they attempt to keep you from danger, usually doing a poor job. However, what about YOUR wants. You see, they don't matter. Society tells you that you don't matter, and eventually, you begin to believe it.

But, YOU DO MATTER. Why the hell can't you see that? Society has blinded you with the pepper spray of ignorance. You're eyes are being challenged by society. With such conflicted eyesight, you have no choice but to trust society. You obey society with high hopes that you are going to be guided in the right direction. Maybe you are, but what matters is that there are many times where you aren't.

My point, my dear friends, is that society, and all of its pawns (i.e. presidents, governors, mayors, officers of the law) are a bunch of power hungry fools. My hope is that after reading my passage, society's pepper spray where begin to fade. The blindfold will be removed. Society can be fixed. Not by its pawns, but by its victims. The reason people aren't trusted is because they are raised to mess up; but not anymore. We as humans should prove to society that we won't keep quiet. We won't sit back and take all of these lies. We will rise up and fix it, no matter how unwilling it is to cooperate. I wish you good luck in your endeavors. You can succeed, you must succeed, you will succeed. Godspeed...

I think Mr. Anonymous does have good points. It makes me wonder whether in fact the primary school system was designed to make us dependent individuals and less 'free-thinking.'

Yet, his viewpoint seems to be a bit too generalized. Or maybe not. I just never thought of being as being conformists and all the same. Nearly everyone I know is an individual who has his/her own way of thinking. Sometimes I do meet the occasional person who spews talking points that I hear on the popular 'news' channels. And I also meet many who don't care enough to find out what is happening in the world. Ouch.
