The world is not complicated
People have made it complicated. It's hard to believe that there was once a time when a child was not expected to go through 12+ grades of schooling lasting 12+ years to finally be able get a job flipping burgers huh?
Contrary to popular belief, people are not stupid, and that's what so many college graduates and old people seem to think these days. Don't share my view? You're stupid. I'm smart, you're dumb, you don't have my experiences and my experiences have enlightened me.
"Men need to be caged and controlled. If we let them free they'd kill each other in the streets over scraps of bread. Men need direction and the threat of force to keep them in check. It can not be assumed that average men have morals and values"
This is what I hear whenever someone argues on behalf of government, and you know what I think? I think it is the argument of the weak cowards that have no moral code of their own, and so they assume it is nessessary to bind all men by the same code. It is the argument made by men who fear death and live for nothing but their own self gratification
I don't know if I can ever get some of the things my sociology professor has said to me out of my head:
-You don't know what it's like to suffer
-If you have done as much research as me you'd arrive at the same conclusion
-Taxing for the sake of healthcare in order to keep everyone alive is the right thing to do
-You are incapable of achievement. Any achievement you have you have because society gave you the means.
-White people should be ashamed of their roots
Back then I thought he was a good man, misguided maybe, but he simply wanted the best for everyone. Now I've come to believe him and this philosophy to be the very essence of evil.
The world is not complicated, there are certain truths to it that no one can deny. One is that everyone is free to think and act, regardless of any law society creates. Another is that we are all bound to die. And another is that we do not own anything. Why then, are these men so eager to defy these truths? Fear
What has happened to the world is ultimate evil. They have convinced people that they deserve to live. By proclaiming themselves to be experts they have convinced people they do not have to think. Through the force of government and police they have convinced people they do not need to act to defend themselves. Through systems like welfare they have convinced people they do not need to act to ensure their survival.
The only truth they decided to keep was that we as individuals do not own anything - and that is because they own everything.
People debate over civil rights, as if they have a right to imprison our freedom of thought. People argue for the sake of health care as if they have a right to be taken care of. Let me tell you, if you had a right to these things you would have them already by the will of God.
People debate over which economic strategy is best as if the government is actually responsible for producing jobs and wealth.
You know what the result of all this is? 12+ years of schooling to be a fry cook. Kids can't have lemonade stands. People can't hire who they want to hire or sell who they want to sell to. People can't buy what they want to buy. People can't live where they want to live. The need to fill out page after page after page of information, writing down contacts to let people know I'm a social little butterfly that cares about making friends. Taking unnecessary college courses and paying far too much for credits and information that I do not even need a professor for.
We would give up our trust in each other, our confidence in ourselves, and the ability to dream - all because a few self proclaimed experts in suits say life is complicated because they've done the research. They can call me an idiot, I have no intention of living like that - I have no intention of being a slave to another mans cowardice, distrust, depression, or hopelessness.
