In these days finding people to use moral, ethical, and just judgment is hard to find. All we have today is a race who are afraid to go against the established system because it is human nature to conform with their culture and if they don't they are shunned. "If I don't do it, someone else easily will". It's true, and for the longest time, most of us did not see the systematic and insidious cogwheels moving in place in our culture that lead our nation to this breaking point. This system we live in a nation where 1% of the population controls the wealth but if you're thinking I support socialism, you are sadly mistaken. I'm actually in support of a human trait far more important than any political affiliation or structure.
Humans believe in symbolism, and the ultimate symbol that was ever contrived by human mind was the formation of a superior being. Is it real? Maybe - maybe not, but can you imagine a world that never believed in it? It was the very fear of a God(s) that made cultures orderly instead of chaotic. Sure, many wars were fought, many innocents were killed in the name of their religions and gods, but in reality, what has changed since then? We still fight and kill over paltry beliefs, values, and misconceptions.
To think that nothing has changed over the centuries knowing that our rationality and technology has grown demonstrates that there's a much more sinister underlying problem in our race. Our race is limited by the very fact we are afraid of our own survival. It is the underlying cancer that eats at our paranoid souls each day. The rich protects their wealth thinking that the poor will revolt against them, the poor think the rich is out to starve them, the religious fundamentalist thinks we are trying to force them into a different way of life, the Jews are trying to control the worlds banks to leverage their control, and the list goes on. It has become a cyclic downward spiral of a new beginning. We simply have grown too many and too paranoid and there will be no easy answer.
I predict a second coming. Before you write me off as a crazy, hear me out. This second coming will manifest in more than just a man with wings - but a new era of thought process and faith. If there was no faith or moral fiber, the weak would still be today in bondage and in slavery, and there would be only one man ruling the world.
All rational and logical thought has lead me to believe there is no magical man in the sky keeping a watchful eye. Though, in beneath the very nature of this thought process, lies the problem. As humans, we cannot play gods just yet and it scares me to think that some people think they can, and it scares me more that nobody can keep these wannabe gods in check.
Whilst their might be no god or heaven above us, what of our survival? Our very human nature is to survive, and it is written into our very genetic code. If there is no after-life, can you imagine how much more paranoid and greedy our human counter-parts would be? Ambition without moral direction and only for the lust for power and survival becomes the most destructive force our race has ever seen.
It seems as I grow older, that the crazy people with signs hanging over the their shoulders on the corner of 6th and Broadway, were actually the real geniuses of the world and figured it out way before their time. Then again, it's the same crazies that refuse the very system that fails us now, and the very same system that shuns them today.
