So here we are another day,
Smiling politely at people we pass in the street going about their daily business,
As we go about ours,
I mean what’s the point? Why have we built this existence for ourselves?
Were born then spend the next 16 years learning at school then we leave and spend the next 49 years at work then if were lucky we get 10 or so years to retire and actually enjoy being alive,
I mean sure we have little perks in life like a nice car and surround ourselves with gadgets and gizmos to make it all more bearable,
That we can only buy if we follow the system set out above but if you ask me 90% of the human race seems to of lost the point of being a living breathing animal,
When you come down to it that’s all we are ANIMALS,
Just like lions or tiger, monkeys and birds,
You don’t see them learning and working?
I know what you’re thinking, “That’s what separates man from beast”
Well I can’t really argue with that,
Can I?
You know when you get home from work after you have cooked some dinner and settle down in front of the TV and you see some documenty about a tribe who live miles from the advanced world,
They don’t follow the same system we do yet they’re alive, happy, and im not sure on this but it seems like they have no crime and they all work as a team,
That’s what we use to be like until we “bettered” ourselves
Im not so sure we took the right road?
Yes we have technology and warm houses, running water etc but we also have murderers paedophiles and countless other bad things that im afraid to say we have created in our bid to make the world a better place,
If we could wipe the slate clean and start again I think I would try and keep the simple things you see that tribe on TV doing like building your own house with the help of your neighbours growing vegetables and keeping animals for your area having a social point like a big meeting hut/house where your tribe/neighbours meets to discuss important things,
Im not talking about living in the jungle and prancing round with spears im all for technology but im also for actually living my life and not spending all my time learning at school so I can go to work and pay the government all my money so they can then screw me over buy raising the tax on every item I buy to make my life feel just slightly worthwhile!
Im sure my system would have flaws but the best thing about it is we can actually spend time doing things together no longer does the dad have to miss his son/daughters first steps because he’s at work so some government official can buy another yacht community spirit would be alive,
Just like when your Nan use to tell you “I remember when you could leave your front door unlocked”
