The Box
The struggle
between the personal morals of one's self and the cold hard facts lives long
day to day, yet never once does it attempt to justify its own existence.
Are they at war to cause pain and discomfort, or is it there to lay out your
future based on the choices that you make?
Perhaps this
moral/factual issue is just something that we as a race have come to accept
as "human nature." What if long ago, our kind was not plagued with such
dilemmas, and if that's the case, it brings up the interesting question of,
"where did it all come from if today we have gotten to such a horrid state,
that we are expected to be troubled over certain aspects of life?"
The answer seems quite simple when taken at face value:
Self doubt.
Self doubt makes
you over-think into hysterics. Self doubt is what makes you question
yourself on trivial and not-so-trivial matters. Self doubt is what causes
pressure that leads some to drinking, using, suicide, and yes... joining
boy bands. And apparently, self doubt is what makes all of us human.
Bullshit.
We're taught to
question ourselves at the cost of our own dignity. However, it is time that
we call upon who we possibly once were; to trust our judgment and to respect
others for their own. Making excuses never helps matters, and it never
will...
...But again,
face value.
Digging deeper
into the subject of self doubt, yields the fact that if we are to overcome
such a thing, we are to overcome generations and generations of influence
and history. Digging deeper, we find that the roots of self doubt were
brought upon by people who lived before they could even so much as fathom
the abacus.
It's sad that
our lives are lived according to the standards set by those who probably
never even thought we [as people living in 2003] would exist.
Kind of makes
you think what we could have been, had our ancestors gave a fuck about
anyone but themselves. |
