"Children" VS Little Humans

Society VS Humanity. Dumb and hypocritical things we say and do. And what Humanity has to say about them.

We as societies, tend to refer to the less aged specimens of our kind as "kids" or children. Which is of course a belittling title that hides bitterness and aims to make us feel better for ourselves and give us a false sense of superiority or intelligence. We tend to forget that age is mental and not calendrical. And even if a bit underdeveloped some children are just yet unrealised potential, and a blank page ready to be filled with knowledge and skills. That's why parents dislike gifted kids cause they expose their flaws and they don't seem like those all knowing Gods as they do for the average kids. These delusions of grandeur are quickly dissolved with the presense of a gifted kid in a family. It's tough to be born an old person because you yet don't have the physical apperence required for the grown ups to take you seriously. You'll have to wait for the external to catch up with the internal.

We tend to treat them as extensions of our egos, and burdain them with all our insecurities and unfulfilled wishes. Only to get bitchslapped by life at a period we have called "adolescense", where we finally realise that it is a totally unique and independent human we have infront of us and not a bad clone of ours. This "crisis of adolescense" as society uses to call it, is nothing but the farcry and process for establishing its unique identity as an unprecedented and irreplaceable human and leave his/her mark in the world.

For Humanity children are just little humans, and should be treated as such. As equals. Societies tend to favor the middle ages, which by the way happen to be the most assholic categories of people, and tend to ostracise the eldrerly and the youth. They are placed at their respective institutions so that they aren't "around grownups' feet", bothering them. They aren't as productive and useful gears of the machine for them, although they tend to be the most humane ones. Yes u got that right, as they approach death humans tend to go back to their childhood spirituality and state of mind.

"Appearence" VS Essense

Above: Portraite "All is vanity" by Serena Dunaway

Societies glorify appearence instead of substance. Girls overworrying over their body image, boys obsessing over their penises and if their abs are defined enough. Billion dollar industries thriving on people's obsession over their meat suit's attractiveness, who cares if our hearts are like swamps. Celebrities are the deities of the masses. "How will the others see me"? is the question that troubles most people's minds. People use to make tattoos on them. But if you call them superficial (cause skin depth is as superficial as it gets), they'll be offended.

Humanity cares about what you do and this defines who you are. Are your actions having a positive impact for the humans to come? Are you defending the weak and powerless of the world? That's your true beauty.


"We" VS The other others

Society VS Humanity: Dumb and Hypocritical Things We Do and What Humanity Has to Say About Them

In a self deluded acid trip of false altruism society tends to preach the concept of "We" as a stepping stone to overcome narcissism and introverted individuality, and it forgets its just many I's (egos) together. You only become truly communal when you become a co-human. A fellow-human realises first that he is of no meaning and existence without the others. He is a piece in a broader entity, in which the superstructure preceeds the substructures. Humanity can't be without the others first. Then he realises he is just the other other.

When we can't truly be humane, we usually dwell in "humanitarian" activities. (As when we can't truly produce civilization we dwell in "cultural" activities). Let's throw a ball with our tuxedos, throw some money at a couple of institutions, and then go back to talking about our new fishing boats... .


"Looking" VS Seeing

Society VS Humanity: Dumb and Hypocritical Things We Do and What Humanity Has to Say About Them

We tend to "look", but very few are truly "seeing" behind the phenomena and their appearences. We look at a watch and see scraps of metal where others see intruiging mechanisms cooperating in harmony. Sees a broken individual and a "lost cause" where humanity sees an inhuman past, a survivor ,and lots of unrealised potential. Society sees a problem and concentrates on the end goal. Humanity traces the obstacles and plans how to overcome them.

Society tries to apply what works optimally for the individual, like that could work at the grander scale. Or apply a solution that worked at an irrelevant place and time in hope of achieving the same thing. Society uses to see a problem only in its frame, for example tries to solve economy's problems with economic measures. Humanity knows that to solve the problems of the economy you have to regurgitate the matter at the plane of strategy. We can see only what we can understand.


"Hearing" VS Listening

Society VS Humanity: Dumb and Hypocritical Things We Do and What Humanity Has to Say About Them

You see people living in overcrowded cities claiming they are alone. You see people hanging around large companies of other individuals yet complaining noone truly listens to them. We tend to greet others and exhange our little mantra of a mechanical greet and a faked i'm well answer. People run parallel monologues with one another but rarely really talk to each other's hearts. Rarely bother to truly listen to what the others have to say with all their heart and attention. Which is to be expected since we fear confronting our own inner demons as well.


"Company/Pals" VS Team

Society VS Humanity: Dumb and Hypocritical Things We Do and What Humanity Has to Say About Them

They use to bully people saying "you are antisocial", you don't hang around like us and have as many "friends" and have "fun". But what are pals exactly? A company is merely a multiplication of your ego. A collection of similar clones to you that share the same weaknesses and induldge in similar numbing experiences. An amplifier of your ego, a source of flattery and a breeding ground for gossip. YOLO! society uses to say, if they really realised that, they wouldn't waste their limited time in self induldging numbing experiences.

A team on the other hand, is comprised of various individuals of different fields and characters and aims towards the achievement of a common goal. It has a vision and a plan to implement it. It doesn't mutliply your ego, it complements it. Those humans know that only true joy comes from meta-joy, the joy you instill to others by giving what they don't ask for. And not by self occupation, around which our society has built a whole vast empire of tools and services.

"Popularity/Fame" VS Glory

Society VS Humanity: Dumb and Hypocritical Things We Do and What Humanity Has to Say About Them

Your network is your net worth society uses to say. Popularity is about being known by the unknown masses.

Glory is being recognised by those few who are Worthy.


"Society" VS Humanity

Society VS Humanity: Dumb and Hypocritical Things We Do and What Humanity Has to Say About Them

Society is this ephemeral thing that hates having true Memory. That has fashions. This era its the fat ladies and corset training, next its anorexic and mini skirts. It invalidates itself in every turn of the road, and what's legal today is inhuman tomorrow. Societies are founded on indifference and forgetfulness. They consider as humanity only its living people (and from those only the ages between adolescense and elderly really matter), and its current problems, are the only problems in the world. They thrive in the present moment thats why they struggle with all their might to reproduce and perpetuate this present moment ad infinitum. "Good morning" we say, "good afternoon", its a reboot of the matrix everyday. No continuation, no meanigful work. Only labour. No true bonds amongst people only bondage. It does everything in its powers to immortalise the routine, it feeds off it. Societies have principles, guidelines, orders, laws, conventions, pacts.

Humanity has Values. And values are timeless. Humanity realises that we are the previous of the next ones, and the following of the previous ones. Humanity includes all those before us, all those who live, all those in pregnancy and the yet unborn and unconceived. Humanity uses intelligence to overcome the obstacles that will come to those who yet aren't. Humanity walks doesn't run, cause those who run lacked planning and now run to fix the mess. Humanity transcends the limitations of physical and chronological proximity. And knows that we are links interconnected with a superbridge, and time is polycyclical, not linear. (Thus for example Davinci can consider himself a student of Archimedes despite they had more than one millenia distance). It has memory of the future through thought and intelligence combined with Memory. We don't come to choose what society we'll live in, but we can choose wether we'll belong in Humanity or not. You are not born a human, you become one.


"Existing" VS Living

Society VS Humanity: Dumb and Hypocritical Things We Do and What Humanity Has to Say About Them

The moment when you truly begin living, is the moment you realise you will die. Society doesn't live. It just exists, it functions, like a machine. When we are little we have delusions of immortality, and when we overcome this delusion we do everything we can to numb the idea out of our head and dig it deep in our consciousness. Pain and struggles is the mediator between thinking and existence. Without troubles/turmoils you don't live, so you create the turmoil in the lifes of others, to feel alive yourself.

In the begining, is death. Life is merely our death's past. When we truly realise that we'll do everything in our powers to live behind some valuable work. There are only three categories of people in the world, the Just, the Barbaric and the Innocent, and don't be fooled, when you don't support the victim you are with the perpetrator. Memory of death is the only sustainable way to ensure our kids' future and the preservation of our ancestors' past. If you are co-human you live your every day like it is your last day. For one to die twice makes the fruits of his work alive. Cause if you died for selfishness in this life and became the other other, then your existence was imbued in meaningfulness. Death is not the worst tragedy in life, not living forever through your work is. No matter if your name is to never be remembered or praised for it.
