Homework time II

You know, I've come to a conclusion that there's something wrong with our world. We live in a world where thousands of people die due to several preventable diseases, in a world where there's war for natural resources, in a world where education means basically indoctrination (by the way, have you thought that some might actually gain profit because of the fact that you're stupid and don't know anything about any thing?) , in a world where there's only a handful of political parties to vote for (and bought and paid for) and thousands of flavors for crispy doughnuts. In a world where evil runs amok and somewhat all the great reformers such as Gandhi, Kennedy and Jesus are assasinated (by the state). How do you live with yourselves? How do you get up in the morning thinking of the weather and how it possibly affects the decision you make when thinking of taking a bus or a bike to work?

What's the point of knowing anything about any conspiracy or the like when you don't do anything about it? We think about it for a moment, feel bad and then turn on the TV and start to watch a program about near-extinct monkeys in some jungle on the other side of the world. What good is it to study environmental engineering when know you that the stuff you may come up with isn't gonna help anyone because the big industry's not gonna allow to come out if it threatens their share of sales? What good is it to study majors in economics when you know that the game is rigged anyways? What good is it to work when all the products you're able to purchase are manifactured in unethical conditions in Nicaragua at the cost of the very lives of the poor farmers and miners in China or India? What's the point?

How come we're here still exhaling because supposedly carbon dioxide is a toxic waste for the environment, and what by-the-way plants breathe in order to live and create oxygen? How come we're not suicidal nihilists waiting all this to crumble down like a house of cards on judgement day. Well, some of as are, but some are taking action. It hurts to know. It's rather easy to be oblivious and not care. However, herein lies a dilemma: what makes us tick? What's that tiny little voice inside of each and everyone of us that says: HELP! I FEEL LIKE SHIT AND SOMETHING'S NOT RIGHT! I'll let that sink for awhile.

Think about it. What's in it for us in the case of humanitarian aid or social welfare. If humans are corrupt and sinful since the very first breath of birth, what's that thing that produces goodness, mercy, love and compassion? Is it the human spirit and instinct to take care of your loved ones on an extended global scale? Since most of us don't give a shit, I think that's probably not the case. I personally believe, it's a higher power. Now I want you to think for a moment that are we, as a species, corrupt, doomed to fail experiment of nature. Or are we a creation of a supreme being that's all-wise and expresses the prototypes of enlightment, love and wisdom through creation of a destructive and fairly ignorant creature. I have no evidence against either ones of those arguments and I think that we won't ever really find that out for sure. Religion, such as science and atheism is a form of a faith-based mindset that doesn't really, in a fundamental level, have anything to do with logic and reason.

Maybe we're out here for cleansing or some type of purification or maybe we're here to merely die and express the seemingly random triumph of Nature's puns and cycles. However, since we are here for any one of those reasons added to ones you may come up with, we could just make something good out of it, while we're still here.
