A Lot on the Mind

For those that did not know I have spent the last week doing family stuff in Chicago for a week.  Overall it was a good week.  It got me away from some shit that I did not like and was able to just do nothing.  Unlike some of the other people I know i do not have that many problems with my family on a non philosophical level.  It was also good to see some people that I have not seen in a while.  Most importantly it gave me some time to think about some stuff on my personal outlook on life. 

How is it that so many people are able to just live there life without any purpose.  Everyone is just content to live their life and gather resources and people.  That is all that the majority of humanity does.  I look at the way humanity lives and I wonder how it missed me,  for I am one of the few "awakened" people.  Its like out of random chance I awoke from the dream scape of reality only to realize that that humanity has no purpose.  A better way to say that would be that it lost its purpose somewhere along the way.  Its like humanity sat down to take a rest and was like hm this is kind of nice.  Why were we doing everything else before this.  Then some people got board and started to wonder away from the camp and the never came back.  The rest of humanity noticed this after it kept happening and then they started to warn people that tried to wonder.  So less people did, afraid that they might loose their meager existence of leisurely activities camp.  So humanity stopped moving and purpose and adventure was lost.  The only thing that humanity cares about now is their own personal pleasure. 

Which brings me to world problems.  Because I was in Chicago this past week i have heard a lot about the NATO meeting that has gone on here.  More specifically about the protests.  Really everyone is fucking stupid.  I hate everyone who is like the 1% or that they are pissed over college debt.  No one wants to take responsibilities of their own actions.  They are just like we have to worry about how to get the most out of or leisure activities as we can and this debt is slightly in the way of that.  You chose to go to college and get the useless degree in an expensive school stfu.  There were plenty of options that you could have chosen but you fell into the traps of society and got screwed.  Now you have to pay the price for your actions deal with it.  The problem is no one is smart enough or awake enough to see through the bullshit.  In our current society everyone is told to go to college.  The problem is that not everyone should be going to college.  Or that they go to college and get a useless degree where there is not a job market for or they spend to much money going to college and get a job that is not going to pay enough to pay off the debt they got.  Really this is just a small problem in the bigger picture.  The problem of purpose.  When humanity gave up purpose they later would decided to let people make their own decisions.  Along with that came ideas that government should be ruled by the people or representatives by the people.  This was a horrible idea.  All that the people need are bread and games and to be convinced that the purpose of the ruling is good for them as well.  The Greeks always said that democracy was the worst form of government and that a militaristic tyrannical dictator would be better.  This is because the people have no idea what they are doing are should be treated as such.  As for ditching purpose for luxury this was also a horrible idea.  The Romans always said that Luxos (Luxury) was the biggest sin of humanity.  And I am going to agree.  It is always easier to point out the problems of humanity than it is to solve them.  How to give humanity back its purpose and how to rule over the peasants is a hard one to fix and will take years of study to come up with an answer.

Some good and some bad.

When did life become the way that it currently is.  Was it always like this and I was just too occupied to see it.  I don't know if it is the current conditions or what but life just sucks right now.  Though I believe that there is hope out there.  Look at one of my friends.  He is currently in Japan doing what he wants to do.  I on the other hand have spent the last about six months doing nothing.  Now a break from the grind was useful but I probably should have done something to help myself move forward.  I really need get some of my shit together and figure some shit out.  Though this world is a gloomy place there is still some light out there that joy can be found.  Like the Avengers.  That movie rocked.  So even if the light is small it is out there and maybe just maybe some of us will be lucky enough to reach it.
