Quitting society
Ok the idea is that we as a people are controlled and manipulated by government but it fact its this thing called society.
Its not al that fare fetched , in fact its very clear, no matter where you look in the world, media and history. Take a look, this is the foundation
in which we bass our lives.
We are taught as children by our parents that school is essential to learn the basics eventually leading to a point where we should be self sufficient
for society when we are past a certain age. We are also told that we should go to college to better our knowledge of the world and learn a skill or a
trade and achieve a degree that says you’ve spent X amount of years and X amount of money to achieve a bench mark on the social ladder. After words
go on to make money to buy the fundamentals of life like a house, car eventually get married and have kids and be come the ideal contributor to
society.
Of if your not so lucky to go to college base upon you your ethnic background or social statues that your better off going into the military where
you’ll learn a trade and skill and money for college at the price of you servitude. Fighting for your country in the name of freedom and democracy.
This is the world in which we live, its what we are taught.
Here we are but a number, a contributor, expendable asset for other to succeed and manipulate to better themselves and deepen their pockets. Yet
every one is so individualized yet so much alike, who has the same ideas and aspirations in life, to succeed in life. Everyone goes about it in
different ways and manages to but heads over the same things.
THE QUESTION
Ok enough of that now here the kicker.
Do you ever stop to think that there has to be more or a simpler way of life? Time and time again I’ve thought about this even more now, Every job I
ever had I question why or what the f am I doing here I know I have to work and make money to eat and have a place to sleep but why is this the way
its has to be done. Because this is the way the world works? Every one does it and no one questions it. I’m mean life doesn’t have to be so dame
complicated the world doesn’t have to be so meshed together in chaos
There are a lot jobs in the world but how many actually makes sense, I mean working at McDonalds pays your bill but teaches you what? How to flip pre
cooked meat. there are so many stupid things we have in our live that we could live with out and if you sit down and think about it for a while
you’d think of many I’m sure.
Ok this very think I’ve always question has taken me from college to job to job to even to the army all of which I’ve quite because of this very
question I’ve ponder. Yeah some may say I’m a loser just don’t know what I want in life and its all part of growing up bla bla bla… But I do
know and its becoming ever so clearly to. I’m just not cut out for society period because to me it just doesn’t work. I really hate being around
people everything make me mad. I consider my self to be unique in many ways.
I’m truly on the verge of dropping everything, backing up some gear and just start walking away from it all.
I think every one in their life should go on a vision quest or a walkabout and just question everything and determine what’s important in life. Find
their true path in life not just a dead end job that get you no where. Even people who are doing good, what ever that means? are merely
distracted.
I’d be nice if things were different or even getting better, where every body stopped being stupid and coming up with ideal on how to better the
world and acting on them but they just an’t period, you ever dream of a world where everything in harmony and peaceful where life actually make
sense and there's purpose. Well its just that a dream there’s to many heads to turn.
But my question
Who here feels the same?? Are you ready and able to make such a big sacrifice to just quit society as We know it?
