In today’s society, philosophy is often either overused, or
underappreciated. All the fashionable businesses seem to have some phony motto
that drives their entity to be progressive and up incoming. Whether or not this
motto is followed is completely unique to the individual business. In terms, of
people as individuals, many hold philosophies that are beneficial to their
respective selves or to our society. In some cases, where philosophy is not
used, people seem to think, “I don’t care” is an acceptable life approach to
everything. I’m not a lawyer or powerful businessman, so I’m not ready to take
on the powerful corporations and point out each weakness that seems to be
associated with each individual company. Oh well, fuck it, companies like
Apple, Google, and Amazon all look to be innovators in the field of
globalization and modernizing the world. However, each is really focused on
money. I like Google; I use apple products, and amazon too. But, as companies,
they can only exist as long as they make enough profit and can manage their
services and products. But, the companies are not the problem.
I see a lot of college kids these days. Most want to go into
engineering, business, marketing, or whatever will allow them to find a profit
in everyday life. Now that these kids are becoming economically independent,
they have no choice but to find a career path that is fiscally sustaining. But, is it really more important for people to
be maintaining the corporate ladder, then feeding the millions of starving people
on six continents?
Now, this may be a small percentage that is mostly in the
new generation, but the western population seems to be leading towards a
simplistic lifestyle that involves, (in their terms’) giving zero shits about
anything that may not pertain to they’re “extremely” important lives. As though
the youth have become an arrogant hierarchy bent on being as unproductive as
possible. I hear lots of people now a day who don’t really care about anything
that’s going on in the world, the country, town, school, their lives, or
anything else. Only social media seems to be the only important thing to them
seems to achieve a life absence of any true meaning.
So, what do I think? I think it’s society that’s fucked up.
The problem isn’t necessarily that we are only interested in money, or that
businesses seem to control the way people think. And, if that’s why people
don’t care about anything, because their choices are to not care, or live in a
society where you must be productive by being a economically important person.
You don’t have to be rich; you just have to serve some service in the GDP.
After all, somebody has to clean the corporate bathrooms.
The very idea of money is one of greed, the idea that each
object in the natural world can be given a price that determines its worth to
society. Nobody can own land, land is a
natural facet of life that can be changed by man, but is still in no true
ownership to the universe. The ownership is all through society. The realistic
idea is that people need to understand what the world has, and what they can
take from it. Of course there is sharing and not everything is so systematic,
but people seem to think they can own the world as a society. Maybe some
individually, but it’s society that drives the human mind. Society is a natural
part of human culture. The mentality to fit in with the people around you
allows man to function civilly. However, as long as society is concerned with
money and possession, there will be no true production in what the world needs.
But what the fuck do I know? I’m just some kid who thinks he
knows life. I’m writing this and even I think it sounds fucking pretentious.
God, I’m douchey. I don’t even really offer any proper solution, they say
knowing the problem is half the battle, but that’s some corny horseshit.
Hopefully, this means something, I honestly do believe there is a problem with
society, but I think it can be bettered. A world that is beyond socialism. (Not
Fucking communism.) But a world where people are not so overly concerned with
having more than one another, and just being able to live in a utopian society
where everyone is happy. Just kidding, utopias are not realistic and often lead
to cults. But, there must be some less selfish way for humans to interact.
Maybe someone who is actually smart will figure it out one day.
