Hello there.
I’m tired today. Exhausted really. It’s rather draining to be so aware of all the critical things in the world. It takes energy to fight constantly, and those of us who see the bad everywhere, the fight is constant.
For those who see the bad inside themselves, and who live everyday battling a mental war, the fight is constant.
I was sitting, trying to think prior to starting to write this, and thought about how it’s difficult to be so thoughtful. Perhaps, in the case of those I’ve spoken to who don’t seem to understand, they’re just too tired to be that thoughtful.
It’s tough to live, even when you fall prey to the mainstream system that keeps you down while making you think you’re up, I’m not trying to discount entirely the people who buy into the system, but perhaps you’re caught up being too tired.
Keep people working 40 hours a week, because after that, commuting, and whatever else you have to do during a day of your life, you won’t have time to think more about how poorly you allow yourself and others to be treated, it’s too much to handle.
I understand not wanting to feel bad constantly, however, if you know people are, why not try to see things from their perspective? Why not create massive change through the human power that is the working class? The average folk who provide the most human power, who if they allied could create change overnight.
Many “average” people think independently, and believe in other’s right to do the same. Those people, we those people, can live our lives without demanding that others spend their lives in a similar fashion.
However, I also think for the average person, thinking about how to take part in revolutions are lofty and unthinkable. That’s a historical thing, it doesn’t happen any longer when people decide to do something together. You can decide to protest, but not to not buy from grocery stores, or big box department stores, because that impacts your life negatively. Could you imagine if no human being spent money on a given day? It would be fascinating, and we could learn so much about people who value money over human life.
It’s taxing on one person, to think about all the misinterpretations, the spoon-fed lives of those around them, trying to do something different, that doesn’t play into any of the systems those others defend.
Perhaps we’re all too tired to think about it. Perhaps that’s just what they want.
