Our world.



We call it our world ..but normally, people that own something have a rather high gratitude for it and tend to protect it, that only in the case of it being precious, which I believe "the world" is. Yet why do we disrespect it. Better yet why do we disrespect each other? Because we humans do live together and are part of the world, am I not right? I'm not going to talk about global warming, consumption of resources, abuse of mother nature (and yes that sounded porno)etc etc. No.. I'll talk (shortly) about living together as a society. Can't remember who said that "Humans are bound to society. They can not live without it, they can not live as an outcast.". I agree, we can not live without being part of something (or at least feeling it) but.. if that is so true, then why do we treat each other like crap whenever we have the chance? Why is there so much hatred for one another? And let's not forget envy! I guess it has something to do with pride, self-approval? self.. self something anyways. And it's complete and utter bullshit. I don't get the whole envy part. I don't get why it's so hard to help one another. I don't get why we barely smile when we walk on the street. People think you're perverted or you're hitting on them if you smile at them. God forbid you're having a wonderful day and you'd want to share that with the world. I mean seriously now..look at us. We're just a bunch of selfish, arrogant and stubborn consumers/costumers. All we do is buy/sell but never give or receive without a purpose.

Sometimes I wish it would be easier for us to express feelings, be capable of showing emotions, at least to our parents who raised us and offer that unconditional love which you will not find at any other person that pretends or thinks they love you. Because the older we get the more this "love", apparently shared with whoever other than your parents will just revolve around stuff like money, reputation, sex, you know.. stuff like that in which some people blindly believe.
The older we grow, the more it will count if you have money, if you own a house, a car.. a company that allows you to live pretty nicely etc.
The older we grow, the more we'd like to date someone with a good reputation, someone astonishingly attractive, you know.. to match well with the money I mentioned above.. and to finish it all with "creme de la creme" if the sex is not good there's either a. divorce or b. (my personal favorite) cheating. Because hell..we have to satisfy all our needs.
See what I mean? And there are billions of such examples. Billions. And you can write about each and every example at least a page. Because we people don't know what to appreciate anymore. And thanks to contemporary media and not only, nowadays children scare the shit out of me. (Some of them.) But that's another topic...
I'll end this post with one of my favorite quotes "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." I guess it's the perfect description of where we stand right now.
Good or evil, right or wrong, love or hate.. we get to choose.


Be it ignoring shattered childhood..


..because it's not always that case.


Because sometimes there is someone to protect you...


..and sometimes there isn't.



Because most of the time words were not easy to say.. that's when we discovered music.


And we began writing our own songs... evolving.



Evolving... ?!


All part of art, the one thing humans should be most definitely proud of.



That art reflected our reality and yes..most of the time it was beautiful.


Like I said.. beautiful.


Up to "post-post modernism"...



We fought wars, we lost many innocent lives.. for the need of power.



And we let a white dove fly in sign of peace.



But what peace is there?


And we pass by such creatures, evidently in this situation because of us...




Yet we have no remorse when we teach our children to be good.



So I guess there's really no excuse for all the things we ignore and all the things we don't.

Have a good night dear reader,
whoever you may be.

    I have to disagree with you on this... only materialists do this, I don't give a shit about reputation, it's almost the top need so it's more important to have food, to be safe/ to be healthy, to be loved/have friends and only afterwards there is the need for self-esteem, respect by others, etc.

    And I'm sure that there are people who CAN live just great like outcasts alone, 'cause rather then live between materialists and a world ruled by money and reputation I'd rather live in nature eating berries and mushrooms. Fuck facebook, Lady Gaga and consumerism and envy. people
