Is Being Awake Doing Us More Harm Then Good!
Lately I've been questioning the whole "being awake" thing. For my entire life, well at least as long as I can remember I never really understood life. What is the purpose? Why are we here? Why do I have to go to school? How come everyone is so happy (or at least seems to be) with there shitty jobs? How come we work so much for nothing but a piece of paper?
As I look around I see that perhaps these people are somehow and for some reason better then me. They seem so content with spending all there time at work to buy a house to put things in. Then buy a new car so they can get to work so they can get more things to put in there house. It reminds me of something Geroge Carlin would say.
A few George Carlin quotes!
If it’s true that our species is alone in the universe, then I’d have to say the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little.
I do this real moron thing, and it's called thinking. And apparently I'm not a very good American because I like to form my own opinions.
Most people work just hard enough not to get fired and get paid just enough money not to quit.
So would it be better to just be asleep and be able to live like a zombie? Sometimes I really think so. Instead of thinking about my new sofa I'm going to buy or my trip I want to take next year, my work days are filled with why am I doing this? What's the fucking point? I hate working for a piece of paper!
I'm not lazy at all. In fact I have a lot of energy and I have no problems working extremely hard. Both physical and mental work I can pretty do for hours upon hours. I've always been a very hard worker. The problem is the monetary value associated with the work that I feel is the problem. Somebody decides what your energy is worth in a dollar amount and rewards your energy with a worthless piece of paper which you then trade for material items, disgusting GMO foods, antibiotic injected shit meats and not to mentioned give a large percentage back to pay for taxes.
I feel I would be way better off using my energy to farm land or build shelters for my family, village or tribe. Not for a piece of paper for better living for my family, villiage or tribe.
So with this thought process I find it hard to continue along awake beside my sheep like co-workers and the rest of society. I feel that if I somehow was dumbed down like the rest would I enjoy this adventure more? Would it be any better? It's hard to exactly say because once you become awake I'm sorry to say but you won't be turning back.
