Hey, I hear you on this and can understand and apperciate where your coming from. Here is a few thoughts that I have relative to this subject. And from my own personal experiences.
I agree, that medical breakthroughs are great for us, I do want to live a long and healthy life! The problem is most people don't lead healthy lives physically or mentally. You need both. I know my mom for example is the principal of a school, and we live in a nice house with 3 new cars in our driveway (Oldest is a '99) My car. Anyhow, she is overweight, comes home tired every day, and is not happy. She gets stressed out at her job and just doesn't enjoy life. To me, this is not worth it. Her physical health is not there. Her mental health is not there. Someone could offer me 10 Million Dollars, or great physical and mental health. I will take Health EVERY single time. Money means nothing to me. You need to have a job that you fully enjoy and I feel it needs to be something to compliment who you are and which allows you to give back to something you believe in. An example is that I am in University to become a Sports Physiotherapist. I play a lot of sports, and I concentrate mostly on Tennis. With this job, I will be encouraged by other athletes and see their dedication and accomplishments which will motivate me to excel in my sports. Also I'm giving back to the sport by helping other atheletes, This helps me mentally and physically, I love talking to people about sports. My thing here is, the job pays nicely. But that is NOT what I care about. It's for my health and lifestyle. Some people love to paint, make music. Paramedics and lifeguards save lives. Whatever makes you happy. Some people absolutley love teaching, for my mom however, it just stresses her out and makes her plop down and not want to do anything when she gets home which hurts her physically and mentally.
Next I want to talk about freedoms. We do not have a lot of freedoms in this world. Which is unfortunate, since most of us are from Canada and the U.S.A. which I think are one of the top countries for freedom. Even here we are told what to do. How to act. What to do with our money. Get this. You have to pay land taxes.... Um WTF is land tax. Bullshit I have to pay someone else to build a house. You can not own land in In my opinion.... If so, I should be paying the Natives that live here. They owned the land first before the goverment. I would rather pay the Native americans (Who were fucked aswell by our government).
For personal freedoms.... ALL drugs should be legal. Nothing pisses me off more than two things with this issue.
First, some people will say "Drugs are bad, they are illegal, and I'm happy"
Second, some people will say "Legalize Marajuana, it's harmless" and they say hard drugs like Crack and Heroin should be illegal...
Um, hello, Fuck you both. It is my personal right to choose what I want to put in my body. Do not tell me Pot is good and Heroin is bad. They both kill you stupid fucker. If you want one to be legal. Legalize them all..... it is personal choice. I think at least, you should be able to do WHATEVER you want in your own home. I pay enough god damn money for it.... I should be able to do whatever I want. If you want to raise goats for sacrafice. Fucking A! Go for it, just not around me... All drugs should be made legal. Obviously you do not have to sell them in stores. But I should be able to grow mushrooms in my own house and eat them myself with friends and consenting adults...
Also, I hear in England somewhere, they have installed some new camera's for the police to use throught the city. they are 360 degree cameras and can zoom in like nobodies business... No matter where you are in the public area's of the city. You can be seen 24/7 by the police. Yes, they have caught a lot more criminals since they see where they go when they leave... Just watch the camera's and follow them around. They can't go anywhere... BUT, I do not like this. I am willing to make the risk of crime or whatever so that I can not be seen 24 hours a day. That freaks me out... To think no matter where I am, I am being watched.... Monitored.. that freaks me out more than the though of some scary guy mugging me.... I am willing to risk it for my personal freedom. I think if the police can spy on us. I should be able to install camera's into Official Government buildings, and spy on the pentagon and what they are doing in Area 51... Why do they get privacy and we don't???? OOOH. I it's for my own good? How the hell do they know what is "For my own good"..... They are pulling this bullshit for their own good... they want to hide everything from us. And they want to SEE and SPY on EVERYTHING we do. They want to control us. Monitor us. Make sure we do what they say.
FUCK THE GOVERNMENT. FUCK POLITICS. FUCK THE POLICE. FUCK THE ARMY. FUCK RACISM. FUCK CRIME. FUCK COUNTRIES. (We are all Human's of earth) DO NOT DIVIDE US BY race/geographic location/ethnic background/language
Do not tell me what I can and can not do to myself.
Do not tell me that I have to pay for insurance on my house (My loss if it burns). SO FUCK OFF.
Do not tell me what I have to look like to be accepted (Unfortunatley and sadly, this happens not just by the government, but by everyone around me) They are constantly judging everyone and not even knowing it. I talk with my friends who complain to me that everyone judges them. Then 5 minutes later they are looking at a stranger and telling me he looks like an idiot..... Unfotunatley this happens to everyone, and everyone does it no matter how hard they try not to.
I do not like this world. We have so much potential as a human species to get along with everyone and better ourselves spiritualy and physically. There is to much hate in this world. But that goes with being human...
You can not change the instincts of a wild lion. You can not ask him to not eat you . He will kill you if you touch him.
You can not change human instincts and tendancies either. I believe we are born with hate. When I studied psychology in University, I had a large debate with my professor who firmly believe "Hate" was a learned human trait, and not something we are born with.
But, take this into consideration... When a human baby is born... It is handed to the mother.. Why? Because that baby will BOND with the mother. It trusts the mother, and DOES NOT trust other people. We are born with the human instinct to NOT trust people we don't know, and to fear them and have negative feelings towards them. That eventually grows into anger and hate later in life when we feel those emotions.....
Well, that's all I have to say about that.
I love everyone, I love people, I always give people the benefit of the doubt, I honestly try not to judge people before I meet them (Even though I slip up and catch myself).
We can not ever eliminate prejudice unfortunatley... I try my hardest not to judge people, I try to be tolerant of other peoples flaws. I try to hold back any negative thoughts and emotions and I try to hold my breath when I have something to say that is negative. I try to show love, compassion, understanding, hope and show everyone that I care about them. And anger is not the way.
Now after having said that. I have this to share with you...
the past 2-5 years, I was a HaRdCoRe PunK Ass living on the streets. I did not listen to this sissy shit that is on the radio now.. that's not punk. No I listened to the Dead Kennedy's, Oi Polloi and various other bands. A lot of old school. And I went to all the local concerts, I got into fights almost daily, I've kicked the shit out of a lot of people iwth my fists/boots/chains/sticks/ spiked bracelts on my fist everything. ANd of course, I have had my own ass beaten in a lot of times.
The point of this is, I have had my share of Hate, I know in my heart it does nothing. Not once did I ever feel pleasure before/during/after a fight. It only spawned more anger in me and hatred. I walked around in a bad mood all the time. My friends were not real friends when push came to shove.
I have new friends, a new attitude on life. And I love everyone. I have no hate inside of me anymore. I let that all go within the past 2 years, instead of hating someone who is rude to me, I pity them inside. And I try to understand them. Usually I find they are only angry because something in their life is hurting them inside (The way it was with me years ago). And I try to sympathize with them, and I am nice to them. And I often find that their anger will disapate as they see I am not the enemy they thought I was. I accept everyone that i can and try to show them that I don't care what they look like or who they are. I will hang out iwth them, and accept all their beliefs and values and morals...
Well, that's all I have to say right now I guess...
Try not to judge people. The government and the media/magazines/commercials do enough judging for us about what we should look like/ eat, how to act etc...
Do not judge. Accept, understand and show kindness..
Remember these words if nothing else.
"You will only pass through this world once, therefore any good you can do, do it now, for you shall not pass through this world again."
I live by those words.
