Bitter words

I almost wrote a very angry and some might say grumpy post yesterday. Then I thought that if I'm going to be that angry why not try to make some sense out of it at the same time. Therefore, please take this as a warning if you are not willing to read my rant about life's lost meaning in the contemporary world.

Most of us living in the western societies are to some extent forced to follow the basic cycle of life. Get education, get a job, buy a car and a flat, get a dog and have some kids too. Do we really need to wonder what the meaning of life is anymore? Not really. In most cases our well-being and accumulation of capital for ourselves and our possible offspring seem to be the only driving forces of our lives.

This makes a helluva evolutionary theory. Just imagine, only those capable of taking part in the cycle will survive and prosper. This makes me wonder whether there is a genetic trait or some specific human characteristic that is the evolutionary trigger and thus the deciding characteristic for our survival? There must be a limit when this accumulation of capital will come to such state that there is none, or very little left to us commoners to share. Will we then see this as a triumph of evolution or as a disaster? Survival of the fittest, or the survival of those with the fattest stock investment portfolios.

It is frigging difficult to let all things just be as they are but what is there to do? The banality of the world has already reached formidable measures so how can I just keep on living without getting frustrated with other people not seeing or not being wanting to see how things really are. If more people would actually realise how this world fucntions, what are the underlying politics and why it is important to vote (I hear you asking: for who? Only thing I can tell you is ofr sure, not for GWB at least!!!) maybe the future could be slightly different.

However, the interface between the western people and the reality has become so blurry that many fail to see beyond the surface levels. Maybe the knowledge that the payday will be there at the end of each month keeps most of us ignorant and blissed...

Ok, enough of this rant. I still have two weeks until my payday. Until then, I keep thinking about how to survive in this world withouth getting too involved with politics.

Next time: less ranting, I promise.
