A question for all of you. No doubt, at some point in your life, you've heard these two statements or something similiar no?

"I hate life," and my favorite, "The world is sick."

It's only something I actually thought about a week or so back. People have forgotten something. Or, rather, they've let something else obscure their vision. What they've let obscure their vision, is our fake reality. Our concieved ideas, our societal norms, our laws, our customs.

These things are all constructs. Constructs aren't bad. However. People have let constructs dictate their life. And most of all, blind them to what sits right under their feet.

And let me prove it to you.

You've all watched the news no doubt? Always something depressing on. Wars. Riots. Conflicts. Fights. Disasters.

And most people will shake their head and say, "Huh, world's going to shit, look at that."

That's wrong. So wrong in fact that upset people, angry people, depressed people, tend to say that they hate life. Life's been cruel and harsh to them and they just don't want to put up with it anymore.

But they're wrong. And they've confused which reality they live in. And it all comes down, to people. Let's sit down and think about it here.

Take a forest. A forest does its thing. It grows. It harbors plants, animals, and a complex system of intermingled species all supported by the environment around it and the weather that sustains it. This forest, it's natural ecosystem, and the weather and environment around it, is life.

Things die in said forest, animals are killed for the purpose of survival for other animals. At it's core, this is life. People often say, life isn't fair. They're wrong. Life is unbiased. Life doesn't point a finger at somebody and say, "Hey you, here's cancer."

It's luck of the draw. Pure unbiased luck. And it happens to everybody. Every person, every animal, everything. Some animal in the forest may be sick. And it'll slow down and get caught by predators and die. That's shit luck. Plain and simple.

So. What does this mean?

In our concieved world, our society, our cities and towns, life works differently. Life is out to get you and give you the middle gfinger every step of the way. But it's not actually life. It's people.

Let's say you get hit by a car.

That car was being driven by a person. Maybe they hit you because they were speeding and couldn't slow down in time. Maybe you crossed the street while the light was green. Maybe they were talking on their phone. Maybe they were late for work so they hammered on the gas peddle. Who can say?

Either way, your current woes assuming you're still alive were just delivered to you plain and simply, by a person. And in fact, it doesn't matter what the reason was for the driver hitting you. Because you were a part of the very same construct the driver was.

The driver was driving on a road built by people so that people could drive on it. He was either supposed to be going this speed, or he was illigally speeding against the law. If he was talking on the phone he was so absorbed in texting or talking that he plowed into you. He just couldn't miss that fucking text could he? How about late for work?

Son of a bitch, if he's late for work, he'll get some pay docked off his paychecks.

And you. You woke up, were maybe headed off to work just like the driver. You walked along the sidewalks and took crosswalks. Walked when the light was red. All a big part of our pre-concieved view on the world.

It's not neccessarily a bad thing. However, people have forgetten that out there, beyond cities and towns, there's a functioning world beyond them. It's the planet we walk on, the air we breathe, the environment, the seasons. This world that we live on is life itself.

There's bad luck. But it isn't biased and it does not selectively choose a target.

People do. Although likely 9 times out of 10 our hypothetical driver was never gunning for your ass, you can bet that after the accident your insurance and his insurance company will be gunning for his ass. The insurance company, led by people.

If you want a simpler example, take third world countries.

The environment may be harsh and unforgiving. Unsuitable for the best crop growth or settlements. But that's life. Not all areas of our planet are hunky dory.

But the pre-concieved way of life in some third world countries is that some asshole with a gun, or a better gun than yours, or a small army, will come and fuck your shit up, steal what's yours, kill you, fuck your wife and beat your kids and then kill all of them or do whatever they decide.

That's not life.

That's people.

And we forget that. And lately, that's what I've been using to try and keep myself going. At night in my town, when all the various assholes of whatever flavor you can think of go to sleep, I walk.

When all the lights have gone out, I walk outside in the cold, with the stars, the wind, the snow, and the howls of coyotes and some days even wolves. I walk across the world I was born on, in a life where some of the cards I've been given were shitty.

But those shitty cards, are far less troublesome than the woes and pains I've ever been given by people and their choices.

So. When you;re feeling shitty.

Don't say fuck the world.

Fuck stupid people.

Fuck the world.

Try to fucking stop me.

I can't stop you because that's your choice. I can lump you into the category of silly people though.

People often say, life isn't fair. They're wrong. Life is unbiased. Life doesn't point a finger at somebody and say, "Hey you, here's cancer."

It's luck of the draw. Pure unbiased luck.

I kinda lost you here. Personally, I wouldn't call "luck" (which I don't even personally believe in, conceptually) fair. Fair implies that everything and everyone gets the same treatment, and everyone gets what they deserve. The way life is now, luck or no luck, it is characterized by grotesquely disproportionate circumstances.

Oh my god.
This is like, so offensive.

Knock knock. Who offended you? Who just gave you the middle finger with a grin? Me. A living breathing person who can make choices. People are funny, no?

That must be exhausting.

Considering that I can type about as fast as my thought train rolls along, not really. It's only ever long winded if it takes some thinking about.

I can't believe you're being so offensive.
