The Average Teenager and abit of Philosophy
The average teenager nowadays is almost always angsty and angry at the world, feeling impotent at the perceived faults and failings of society and yet feeling doubly gay about themselves for the fact that they have the capacity to think that way. That perhaps one day when they grow up into adults, they will exert enough impact and influence on society to actually change it.
It seems to me that everyone thinks somehow, in some sense, one way or the other , they are superior to their average fellow men. That their views and opinions seemingly hold more weight that their compatriots, and that somehow they are more human than the next guy and so we judge, we judge everyone we meet, everything we see. We find obvious faults with almost everything not realizing when instead the fault inherently lies in the fact that we are all but only humans and that by definition we are fundamentally flawed and imbued with the vices of greed, sloth, wrath, pride, lust, envy and gluttony. My dear readers, that is the crux of the problem with society and in humans in general - we are not perfect, we are only human. Imperfection exists not due to the lack of design or implementation in society but due to the inherent human condition. Dont blame the people who generalize, dont blame the rascists, dont blame the politicians, blame the human condition.
How convenient is the observer, he who sits on his glass throne and critiques everyone else, yet does nothing to avail it. His arrogance grow, as does his isolation and ultimately he turns narcissist and feels omnipotent. For who else judges mankind. Yet they know not the scores and scores of people who have walked through the same path, and that they ultimately belong to the largest common denominator in the sense that they form the core group of what it means to be human. In an ironic sense, the people who think they are special, or superior are just simply the mediocre people that make up human society. They walk a coerced path, they actively blame but passively accept - they conform to peer pressure, to suggestion and to the authorities and are satisfied with merely placing blame and believing in the ideals that one day, somehow, someway, as long as they believe hard enough , reality will bend their way.
Perhaps this is the new religion of the 21st century. I dont know what people would like to call it but perhaps it should be called delusion. People nowadays have much less free will and thought than say the people in the 18th or 19th century. Sure we are more educated, sure we have cars and planes to bring us about and mobile phones to communicate but do we actually innovate more in terms of thought and philosophy ? do we think about all the other things in life and find a way to live them out - to live out our own lives ? absolutely not. What we do today, is follow what is conventionally accepted. If the scientist in country X says this stuff is good for you, you eat it. Everyone goes to school and learn the same stuff that everyone else is learning. There is no expectation by the people in position for you to actually innovate, to talk back and to discuss what you've learned. Instead rather it is usually discouraged, the teachers of our teenagers mostly just wish that their students accept whatever ideas that are being taught and reproduce it at the exam. Nobody truly gives a damn about religion, they have no faith. We worship objectivism. And life falls into a mere mechanical process. We grow up, take our exams like everyone else, perhaps go to university and are finally supplied to the body called economy as fresh meat to turn the cogwheels of our modern society. Peace has given us complacency, and people have become nothing more but intelligent farm animals. We've lost our individuality, in its stead , the voice of human society and the one conciousness of the system speaks to us. It beckons us to accept, beckons us to produce, beckons us to consume. And amazingly, its these nitwit bystanders who stand passively alongside the course of developing human history, finding fault and critiqueing anything and everything they find, yet never putting in enough effort to change the status quo - that fuel the stagnant society they so wish to change.
Society needs change, and its supply of change comes from its influx of healthy young adults with their spontaineity, radicalism, extremism and fresh new ideas which today are increasingly being stifled and streamlined by the secular and selfish institutions that aim to mass produce well manered, pro-society and obedient straight A students, that are easily incorporated into society. Petty people who practice double standards. Practicing their individuality in the mere form of thought. Satisfied as long as their needs are met and through superficilities like preferences in music, clothing and food. What ever happened to the passion, the vigor that people had for their various causes and believes.
No one truly fights for anything anymore. We all just follow, and accept, not the leaders but the system. Perhaps we are all just mere cells that make up the one organ called the human society. We are in effect a living entity. Like the cells in our bodies, we have become cells in society. Functionally believing our own state of autonomy and uniqueness while actually faciliating what is actually the human society. One singular body made from inter-dependant units which believe they have individuality where in reality they do not. Is this evolution ? forging organisms together to produce a whole greater than its sum. Or is it a devolution of the human individual - its reduction to a mere machine.

genericpharmacia.com provide the customers with the drugs at the lowest possible costs because they do not have to spend too much on maintaining the physical shop and on hiring the person who will handle the shop. Very less maintenance and rental is required for the online drugs stores so additional savings are done here. Also, www.drugstoregenerics.com purchase the medicines directly from the drug manufacturer so they get the drugs at very less costs and the drug wholesaler doesn’t come in between. This helps the online pharmacies to keep the prices of the drugs at comparatively lower rates than the shopkeepers.

In www.drugstoregenerics.com, the products are showcased in a friendly way so that customer can easily pick up what he needs. Medicines are often accompanied by proper literature about ingredients, how to use, doses, how to store, and all other important information. www.drugstoregenerics.com is one that gives adequate information to the customer about the medicine he/she is going to buy. Online pharmacies also provide you the case studies and research studies conducted on the drugs and whatever were it results.

I definitely really like this idea, and are actually pondering about this sort of issue to get a even though now (tips to better leverage personalized connections for on the net dating). The over the internet dating space is broken. It really is like impersonal purchasing, and it is a area that could be grossly overdue for a tune up that integrates social connections inside a neat and beneficial way. Leveraging Facebook to permit most people to play matchmaker, makes a ton of sense. If you have time.Please enter my blog laptop ranking

While this subject can be very touchy for most people, my opinion is that there has to be a middle or common ground that we all can find. I do appreciate that youve added relevant and intelligent commentary here though. Thank you!

I have not had a cig in 10 years. The most terrible part concerning quitting is definitely the starting 1 to 2 weeks. Thankfully that those effects didn't last and stuff improved everyday because of the electric cigarette. Please do not give in. Just keep trying and you will, no doubt have success forever.

I have begun to realize stopping is literally impossible. I began cigarette smoking when I was in my teens. It was the most unfortunate wrong move I've made. Today I'm older and I have heart disease. I used most of the quit smoking tips and yet none helped me stop. My last try is definitely the e cig in the end.
Posted by: Franklyn Friedrich | September 8, 2010 10:23 AM
I have not had a puff in 6 years. The most awful thing related to quitting most likely the first week. Fortunetly for me this part were short lived and things improved everyday due to the electric cigarette. You shouldn't stop. Simply keep going with it and you should certainly have great results forever.

While planning to stop smoking, I heard about the smokeless cigarette. The ecig wotks on a nicotine liquid which consists of only nicotine. Simply no cancerous substances at all. They already have luckily improved my life. Getting rid of sucking in cancerous substances feels really great to me!

I have not had a cig in 6 years. The toughest aspect regarding stopping could possibly be starting couple of weeks. Luckily for me this stuff didn't last long and things improved day by day on account of the compare electric cigarette
