People Are The Worst

Day of 1 White Magnetic Wind

Tone 1 (Magnetic): creative power to Unify Purpose, action of Attraction

White Wind (IK): Communicates and emphasizes Spirit

People are the worst. I say this with humor, only because otherwise it would be all too depressing. Not only are people the worst but, as a species, we're actually not that interested in existing. 

Humans are terrible at being themselves. In fact, I would argue that most aim to avoid being completely genuine in the truest sense of the word "genuine." Actually, scratch the word genuine. I just looked it up and it comes from weird and convoluted origins. What I am trying to say is that people, in general, and as a whole, are not authentic. We are not encouraged to be authentic in our modern world(s). 

We are encouraged to perform our identities, to conform our identities, to identify through commodities and to cross off an arbitrary checklist of "how" to "properly" age through the human process. Humans, of all the things we could and might have done and been, have ultimately decided the "best" way to exist is to make being human into a business only of concern to humans. 

This is completely bizarre to me. 

We have created cities and systems of living that all but eliminate other living things - other aspects of nature - unless those things conform to OUR desires of how those things should be. Trees/Plants? Fuck them. Animals? They can go hang themselves. Water? BULLSHIT. Air quality? That sounds like a personal problem! 

Outside of our human constructions, our human ideas, our human responses, there is a living organism called THE EARTH. It is what our species has come to call a planet, orbiting around a ball of fire we have come to call a star, in the middle of an infinite and unfathomable expanse we have come to call the universe. We would not exist as we know us if not for these entities that came before us.  

This is the realest reality there actually is. This is one of the ultimate realities that exists not only for humans, but for all living things on our Earth/Organism/Planet. It's extremely significant. Further, it is as significant as all the things that humans have decided (over time) are important to us. 

Despite our species' desire to believe the contrary, humans are not that important. 

I listed 4(ish) other existing things on this planet: Trees/Plants, Animals, Water and Air/Oxygen. If any of these 4(ish) things became extinct, EVERYTHING ELSE WOULD DIE. If humans became extinct (if we all just rolled over and died one day), everything else would live. We are the last factor in the Earth Equation and we are also the least important to the Earth Equation from an existence perspective. 

I do not believe it is within a human being's nature to be such a pain in the ass to everything else. Unequivocally or "naturally." It is my opinion that our assholeishness is a choice. Which, considering how fortunate we are to even EXIST as a random unimportant (meat-based) species, really just shows how selfish we are. 

I recently made the mistake of reading through various "Comments Sections" on various popular sites where I was given a random sample of people out there in the world with opinions. There are some awful - and awfully ignorant - individuals in the making. And guess what? We created them. 

We socialized them, we grew them up, we instructed them and each other on how to be human. AND WE FUCKING SUCK. 

WE SUUUUUUUUUUUUCK. 

To support this highly intellectual and academic hypothesis, let us consider the following...

1. Everything with a consciousness is having a personal experience

2. For our species, personal experience begets individual and unique factors that contribute to said personal experience

3. Said personal experience is one of a kind because it is so individualized and created by factors that are not duplicatable due to the time-space-experience continuum. 

4. This is happening to humans whether they like it or not

5. This is a foundational factor of the human experience

6. The type of awareness that has developed from and out of the human experience is the first and truest thing granted to each of us by what we have come to call The Universe. 

7. Everything that arrived on Earth before we did was "given," "granted," or "bestowed" upon us. (By Existence/The Universe)

8. Our very lives and the fact that we exist as a species was "given," "granted," or "bestowed" upon us. (By Existence/The Universe)

9. Nearly everything we've come to believe is "natural to" or a "requirement" of human existence has been constructed by us, for us. 

10. At the end of the day and at the end of our lives, we actually don't really know shit. 

Human beings are capable of anything. Our ancestors once banged rocks on rocks for entertainment. Today, we've made up a lot more shit than they ever could. But is what we create even that significant to humans? 

Rather than exploring and encouraging the uniqueness and individuality of each human person, we tell each other that our existences are offensive and cannot be tolerated. Yet each of us already exists when we propagate that notion. Each of us is already allowed for when we decide that what we are is somehow not enough for humankind to have respect, appreciation or regard for. We tell each other that diversity is dangerous and "foreign" when diversity is pretty much the most consistent activity in The Universe. 

Who the fuck are we to tell individuals that already exist and, THUS, HAVE BEEN INTENDED FOR AND CREATED BY THE UNIVERSE, that they are incorrect or wrong for being what they already are? 

Who is any individual human being to decide for OTHER HUMAN BEINGS how they should exist within their own consciousness, how they should conduct their individual existence or how they should identify as a person? 

Humans have made NOTHING that will outlast this planet. Humans create each other as a byproduct of how something ELSE chose to make us. Whether by mistake or by grand design, we have the LEAST CONTROL over Existence as a whole. 

So why the arrogance? 

Why are incredibly arrogant, absurd, wasteful and time-consuming luxuries such as racism, sexism, homophobia, religious/cultural intolerance and institutionalized prejudice allowed to permeate the structures and systems that govern EVERYONE? 

If you want to sit at home, or in your head, and commit your valuable time and experience to making up ways that pigment in a human body would have anything to do with a human being's ability to think like a human...have at it. It's your time you're wasting. 

But, if you wish to bring that opinion into the public sphere so it curtails or helps to decide what I am allowed to pursue or be capable of...fuck you. It's my time you're wasting. 

Honestly, can you imagine any other living entity on this planet spending its precious and limited time on Earth trying to elimate other types of its genus? 

Willow trees assassinating Oak trees because their bark is different? Daffodils demanding that roses receive less sunlight because they don't just grow in the color red? Bears demanding that dogs 'go to hell' because they rub up against each other, whether male or female? Rivers decreeing that oceans don't deserve to exist because oceans are salt-based?

Human beings are the worst. The worst at being themselves, which is our only real and true job before death; the worst at accepting the circumstances of our existence, which is that things are not only diverse, but always changing; the worst at developing some sincere humility at even being ALLOWED to have a human experience; and the worst at not encouraging ignorance. 

Our species basks in our own ignorance. We pat ourselves on the back for it. We destroy entire living things, we kill people and take away their right to exist in the name of this ignorance. 

Humans have created a false hierarchy that begins and ends with us, when we would be much better served by acknowledging how insignificant we actually are while ALSO being EXTREMELY GRATEFUL and humble for even being given our very own piece of existence. As individuals. As societies. As a species. 

Instead, we try and make each other useless. And it's working.
