We aren’t there yet. And what I mean by that is that there’s a lack of collective consciousness. I can’t ignore it myself.
In a way I understand why people would ignore reality. Taking the time to deeply think about how earth is structured would leave anyone depressed. Our copious distractions keep us docile and idle – a bombardment of marketing ploys by the rich and powerful to control our abilities to experience life naturally. In conjunction with the trauma of capitalism – which is all our lives have been known to follow, we continue to struggle to break this mold of subservience.
I’m deeply lonely – without love or sex. Our commodified lives keeps us longing for the next hit. In a way I feel as if those opportunities for existence have been stolen from us. I feel like just a number, an individual getting rampantly exploited.
If I’d religious I’d pray for a new system. If I was smarter and more connected I’d fight with others to solve/protest it. But for now I’m staring at walls trying to figure out how I can opt out altogether.
TLDR: We’re depressed
