People are not, any longer, natural. Maybe you would argue that it's a "natural" evolutionary process that's brought us to this point, maybe it is, but it's all so unnatural it's uncanny.
I've spent so much time divulging into the philosophies and theories behind our evolution. I've look at religion, and the similarities between so many that are not linked, and I wonder to myself how we got here.
Things make my head hurt. They really do. Things like how somebody was sweeping the floor once and thought, if only I had a sucky tube this would be so much easier, and off to work they got working on their new invention. Also, forget what came first, the chicken or the egg?, the question on my mind is what came first, the can or the can opener?
I just wonder how we got to this point. This point where we drive rather than walk/run and where we text rather than talk.
What really gets me though, is how did paper start creating money?! Where did the IMF come from?! Who on Earth thought it would be a good idea?! And those bloodlines...well how did they come about?! Why did somebody suddenly decide that they would take charge, and suddenly own everyone on the planet?! Oh it makes me so angry. The only part of life that really is natural is the conception of a new being. Unfortunately there is so much about the birth now that is unnatural, that you can hardly say it is natural. I mean, it's ok for someone to help pull the baby out, but to give medication to get your body into labour and what not....does that antelope in the wild fields of Africa get given that...?! Erm, no I don't think she does.
But at the end of the day, fundamentally we are all animals. We are as territorial as any other, and it's ok for a mass of people to fight over one piece of land that may or may not belong to them in the first place, on behalf of one man, but it's not okay for a man to fight and kill a man over a woman like deer.....
You see someone in their wisdom, who I'll refer to as god, as "he" seems to pop up a lot in those religious-type books, decided that to keep people good and nice and lovely and wonderful beautiful people, we should have laws to govern them, and those laws will mean that us great natural beings with natural feelings and natural behaviour patterns natural instincts and natural urges would live so much better together.
I suppose in some ways, yes, we do, but at our own expense. To what expense has this had an effect on people?! The world is full of repressed and repressors. And due to the wonderful great monnetary society we have we now spend our lives living in fear of the big people we owe money to. Nobody talks, nobody trades, they buy buy buy and show off their possessions....and fuel the people that control and destroy the masses.
And there are mental effects on us too. I long to live in a tree house and live off the Earth...funny thing being, is that I'd need money to go and live a natural life. It's not unnatural for animals to build houses and shelter, beavers do it, birds do it, but bricks and cement, made by man, to house man, what's it all about?! We shelter from the rain. Skin is waterproof, and it was made waterproof for a reason. Think about all this mind-numbing entertainment that's available these days, I'm sure, had there been none of this stuff we'd have plenty of things to occupy our time with, something like.....surviving the dog eat dog world. That's why some are born weaker than others. The weaker would be sacrificed, perhaps not intentionally, to ensure the survival of their kind. Look at Zebras and Antelope, they get killed by lions, and it's generally the young or injured that are got, but it allows for the survival of the species.
And then there's the species, that in a natural world, would be our predators, and feeding on us, and yet because we've made some mechanical thing to blast of their heads, it's us who have ensured the almost extinction of their species. In a natural world I'm sure it would be the other way around.
I'm rambling nonsense as usual, but it makes sense to me. I just cannot work out for the life of me how we came to this point. This point whereby we are all screaming out for something more than we have, yet many think they have everything they ever wanted [the playstation/big tv/laptop etc]. The thing is, none of this stuff matters, it's irrelevant. There is an underlying knowledge in people that the way we live, isn't right, and isn't natural.
