society vs me, me vs you, you vs society
when everything is falling into pieces, how do you save them?
i know what i want from life, and i know what i'd like to give back to the world. but can you save yourself from devastation? its so basic, i know, but how can you be sure you are making a postive decision? can i walk away from something that is neutral without feeling selfish?
the world, our society, has become infested with lies and treachery that it is nearly implausible for someone to be understood on a simple and pure level. even if 99% of the populace is decieving themselves, or others, there is still that 1% that does its best to remain pure. the sadness lies in that 1%, the unseen, the unheard of, the unbelievable.
why is it unacceptable that i think for myself? we are perpetually bombarded with advertisment, social morals, ideas, varied truths and it is all an illusion. society has played a major role in nearly everyones lives. yet you preach about thinking outside of the box, about being consciously aware, about independent and unguided decisions, but how do you know that my ideas and goals are not my own? and where did your line of thinking appear from?
i have, as everyone has, been warped by society. i also can pick and choose what morals, what ideas and what goals i have for me and my future. i do have the ability to choose to be an individual and step away from sways of the general public and define ideas and change them to fit my needs.
but who do you turn to when no one accepts your beliefs as honest or pure?
