Money, money, money...
Our society and humanity is all about life and living. People all over the planet dream for one thing, freedom. A person cannot live freely without at least one person judging him or her based on their financial status.
We started off with sticks and stones, we lived in caves, hunted wildlife for food and stayed put with necessities alone but now we live in skyscrapers, use technology to substitute machinery for manpower and overwhelm ourselves with stuff that we want and not really need. Progress is what they call it, Desecration is what I see.
Our world, our lives is all about money. People fight over money, families get broken over money, friendships are destroyed over money, whatever you say, you are a fool for thinking that our lives today is not about money. Well, you're right about one thing, it shouldn't be about money. Ask people right now and they'll tell you that all of the things that humanity has accomplished is progress, technology is progress, landing on the moon is progress, 40 story buildings are progress, money... is progress.
Well, they're right, to a certain extent but completely wrong the rest of the way. Our system of economy has certainly brought humanity to greater heights but the silent assassin that has been staling our every move and listening to very sound we make is still here and it's getting stronger by the minute. We have failed to realize that the foundation of life that we have continue to build and protect is acting like a poison, slowly killing us and eventually bringing us to brink of extinction.
Our lives are dominated with the thing that we work for and we fail to understand what we really need to value. I hope it is not too late, I hope that we may undo what we have done but for us to succeed at fixing everything that we have damaged, we need to understand that we have damaged our lives. We have failed.
Humanity needs to realize that our life shouldn't be like what it currently is. People need to open their eyes and see the true stature of reality. How can we sleep at night knowing that our children are gonna be living the same lives that we are right now, the next generation. This is not the life that they deserve to realize. We need to start working to change our ways and make things right.
I know that this article didn't really have a certain answer for the question - What is wrong with the current status of out lives? - Well, if you still don't know what is slowly consuming us or you don't know what it exactly is then you're living proof of what I'm stating.
We need to renew the flow of our lives. We are so high up that we are unable to detect what is pulling us below deeper and deeper. We have made our lives our very own grave.
We have deprived ourselves of the things that made us human in the first place. Our unity. We have grown weary and apart.
