I might be writing and going on like a broken record. How the world is set up and how people actually interact with each other has been like a splinter in my mind for the longest time. I've yet to meet a single human being that's as simple or naive as me, just wanting everyone to get along inside and out. It's like everywhere I look the gossip exists, conflicts exist, between two characters, everyone is settling for what they can immediately get for themselves. No one talks about social change or how or what needs to change in a society a country to let everyone win. Aside from me, everyone else in my social circles are occupied with survival and how to enjoy themselves the most while living this life. The education and upbringing is simply that effective at subduing any questions about what's around me. A question I'd like to ask everyone is why am I virtually the only one that puts an imperfect interaction with the system and common sense together to see any one person's good will isn't enough, a change in the laws governing populations and a change in the economy governing populations is what's necessary to realize equality. I don't doubt being a good person and having everyone say you're good is a profound experience to live. But in light of this individual experience what ever happened to ensuring everyone has the opportunity to be good and be called good? Economy, politics, law, kind of force those most vulnerable to the systems - people with no money have no voice - to either ideology wise submit to us people that give the jobs, or words and deeds wise absolutely be submissive to us people that give jobs, and in many cases sacrifice their environment and their minds to align with the opinions of us people that give jobs. To the people that have money the changes in the economy, politics, and laws are only considered at arm's length to feel one is worldly and cares about what is going on but the changes never affect people with money directly. The money protects the minds of people into pockets of time, up to the generation that you accepted to define you, just selling and keeping alive some values, but money really works at separating people from the darker interests and from each other. That's why a lot of people turn to creating a family to feel a sense of belonging eventually, because in a way it's too difficult to continue existing in a reality where no one cares about you. Things like family and companionship injected with money gives a great illusion. Two or more in my name, it only takes one other person that agrees with your values to feel like home. But I think companionship and family are being misused where if you remained single and stare at the horrible truth, you would have asked questions and would have valued social change more. But the family and companionship separate one into a bubble of love and the attitude that is nurtured in the family and in partnership is you're only safe with me/us, everyone else is dangerous! Simultaneously, sometimes you would even wonder why people are so cutthroat and selfish to everyone else but their own family and partner.
It's said family is the vehicle of love, but its actual workings and what it does to other people besides yourself is not recognized, at all. Lonliness, desires, lust, a sense of home/belonging, these are the words that kick all of us in the ass to either fall deep into despair, or convulsively seek the light. There is another way, you neither need to fall into despair or be hypnotized by the light. But that way requires a really specific understanding of yourself and forgiveness. I don't think it's new that in each person's mind is an inner calculating force that overrides all intentions at critical points of decision. The way that force convinces you to act in self interest? That's how specific you would need to be to have another way other than despair or the blinding effect of love.
If the family were always a force for good the whole society shouldn't be downfalling devolving into more selfish agressive cynical dark people. The way we live family needs to change if we care about what is going on. The family in how we teach our children the ropes in the system has been the force that has predicted all disaster, all financial bubbles, it has decided so many things about the trends we follow, the music we listen to, the acceptable spectrum of desires provided for by the system, the unacceptable desires, right, wrong, good, bad. The election of Trump into office, Brexit, all the big events happening in the world.
Trump was an event that has its seeds in an atrocious education causing people to believe in the slogans. Brexit was the accumulated consequence of not directing the UK's economy to provide jobs for everyone within the UK, there were whole towns and areas in the UK that were once part of manufacturing but the jobs left. That and suppressed dissatisfaction with the system, Brexit gave an outlet to UK citizens to voice their compounded frustration.
