"We're designed to be hunters and we're in a society of shopping. There's nothing to kill anymore, there's nothing to fight, nothing to overcome, nothing to explore. In that societal emasculation this everyman is created."
-David Fincher
Don't worry. We've done this to ourselves. The path of least resistance is now the mother of invention. You probably won't even notice the world's been rotting away from underneath you until they take away your wal-mart. Just give up. Let the world destroy itself so we can rebuild it. Why fight to save something that's broken and beyond fixable? Is it worth it to destroy yourself to save something that will, in the end, destroy you anyway? Let it go down the drain, quit delaying the inevitable, quit grasping at straws. Give up. Wait for the chance to build something new. Something worth saving. I'm no exception to this rule. I like my supermarket just across the street and I like my overpriced clothing designed to inflate my overly sensitive ego. The key is knowing that eventually you'll be forced to be a human being again. Trust me, it won't be long.
There's nothing left to save. Our society is so broken that any attempt to try to right it will be futile, like throwing rocks at bullet-proof glass. Like trying to empty a lake with a teaspoon. Our society coddles those who aren't willing to take care of themselves and rewards stupidity. We work against nature. We work against the very forces that allowed us to make it this far. We're so worried about being politically correct and making sure no one is left behind that we've begun to reward and even value the one's who, if nature took it's course, wouldn't even still be breathing. Don't say it's a lack of compassion. Let's face the facts. When you begin to punish the successful in order to reward the weak, what have you got? What do you encourage? The fatter, slower, dumber you are, the more you get. This thinking is broken. If we were still living in the conditions we were designed to we wouldn't even be having this discussion. This would be a non-issue. Don't tell me we're better than that. We're not. We trick and fool ourselves that this is what is 'better'. I pray that one day it all goes down. It all goes down the drain and we're dependent on our own skills to survive. How many of these people who are too fat to leave the house would survive? How many? None. It's the way of nature. It's not greed, it's not cold heartedness. In other species of animals it's common practice when a member of the herd is weak, sick, or disabled in some way to kill it. Birds will peck a fellow bird to death.
This is reality. This is the way the world is designed. We work against it every time we think otherwise. Be stronger. Be smarter. Be better. Survive.
