Writing is my Escape…
I couldn't see the way out. Every time I try to talk, everything in my head is blank.
Society pressures and convinces all to achieve something in life, but only the truly skilful has that type of opportunity.
We all strive in order to live. Everyone with professions, lawyers, police, pilots, are all people pushed in order to come on top. It's all so meaningless. Is this the reality I looked up to as a kid.
Right now, I could not muster the naïve admiration that I felt when I was a kid.
When I was a kid, I believed Steve Jobbs to be the best guy ever for being the CEO of Apple, Thomas Edison to be the smartest for inventing the light bulb, and President Barack Obama to be the most powerful 'cause he's the president.
Those are role models I looked up to as a kid. It was a beautiful dream. To be swayed by society's commercializing to find the true talents. We stepped in as dreamers, hoping to achieve something, to influence the world. We come out finding millions, if not billions, trying to do the exact same.
Everything in society is about commercializing, setting expectations, find talents, rags to riches. What rags? What riches?! Logically, it's been said that food can be provided to every single person on the planet and fill them 3 times over.
Superiority complex is such a vile thing. I understand the feelings of Bernie when he said the rich should provide. They had stepped on the shoulders of numerous to get up there so why don't they try to help those they left behind. But as I said, I understand, but not sympathize. This is all a part of human nature. We just can't coexist. A beautiful dream. World Peace.
However, what is a dream would remain one. Although there are truly good people, met a few of them myself. Expecting every other person to listen to the good inside them is impossible. We revel in the fact that there are people under us. Elites that could look down on others for the opportunities given on a silver platter.
Geniuses could never understand the envy they get. They learn, go over something once, and it's over. Numerous other people aren't like that, however, they repeat, go through the boring repetitions in order drive something in their brain that are done naturally and easily for geniuses.
Criminals never dwell on the scorn they receive. Some wanting to impart pain to others for pain that had been forced onto them, others enjoying the thrill and satisfaction of their power to hurt and ruin the lives of others. Violence breeds more violence as an unending cycle of hate spirals for eternity.
We all want to justify our existences as elites. Thinking we are special while others are not. In the end, we are all humans that try to validate our own existences. The wise would understand that fact. That we ARE special, but so are them.
Even if I say this however, this is hardly something that can grant anyone the peace that is dominant in the minds everyone who wishes a fulfilling future with their loved ones.
It is a rant. Against today's society, people who look down on others for things not given to them on a silver platter, people who treat others with despise for their hard-earned achievements while they wallow in their own pits of self-pity. I do not want to be these people.
That is why, I, Hikigaya Hachiman, would always be a monster of logic.
