RE: Is Society a Reflection of Who We Truly Are, or How "They" Want Us To Be?

in #philosophy7 years ago

Who's "we" white man? This is old rhetoric.

I don't play in any system if it doesn't work for me, nor have I for most of my life if it goes against what I know I clearly want and who I am.

Sadly, most people will agree with me about it (doing it my way, my freedom to choose, not playing with the systems or media, etc.); BUT when it comes to them wanting something from me - their way - they are worse than all the media put together, resentful, aloof, angry, manipulative, coercive, bad logic, poisoned words to break down whatever I build, gathering others against me, prejudices, attacks, etc. all because I won't go along or agree with what they want. Why would I? It's not serving me or in my best interest.

So I say: Look in the mirror. Who's the guilty parties here? Individual people are; blind to seeing their words which don't match their actions or integrity. They talk like they "know" this story of the systems, yet do to others - when they have their one-track mind - exactly what they complain the "system" is doing to all of us. No one makes you "want" or "do" what isn't already inside you. As long as they have their "stuff", or accumulate more, have their job, and things go their way, damned the rest, blinders on full.

Who do you think comprises the system? People just like all of you.

Who's "we" white man?

We is everyone in general. We are all in society. White man? Seems like hostility that singles out some people as part of 'we'... do you have issues with white people?

We are all individuals who built he collective society and make it what it is, yes. The only reason it is this way is because we buy into living a certain way. The system is all of us, we are all in this together, even if we removed ourselves from creating the negative aspects, we're all on one "spaceship earth".
