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.

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.

I can safley say i learned somthing today thank you so much for the post it was very helpful and informative.

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.

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

Very well everyone, Lindsay Lohan has returned to her historic ways….Lohan admitted to not passing a court-ordered illegal drug test last week. She tweeted the following: “This was certainly a setback for me personally however I'm taking responsibility for my activities and I sure am ready to face the consequences.” Which means, maybe simply putting her in gaol for 2 weeks and rehabilitation for even less wasn’t the most effective idea!

This article gives the light in which we can observe the reality. This is highly nice one and gives in-depth information. Thanks for this nice article.

Greetings everyone, This webpage is excellent and so is how the matter was expanded. I like some of the comments as well although I would prefer we all maintain it on topic in order add value to the subject.

Pretty great post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to say that I have really enjoyed reading your blog posts. Any way I'll be subscribing to your feed and I hope you post again soon.

This is the kind of stuff that blows my mind.

A rather nice niche blog, and a excellent design there sparks Simplicity yet complex algorithm of the world wide web. Thank You.

It appears you should only get dismissed from your job after you say racist stuff when it comes to Jews Helen Thomas and then Sanchez).

Lindsay Lohan “A lot of these were my school years … they also were in the public eye. I got irresponsible. I'd been experimenting. We were doing somethings that individuals do 10 times far more of when they are in education.”

Lohan Goes to Rehabilitate Today, All over again she's likely to try this? I wanna prosecute her for misusing my tax greenbacks when she did her "precious time" at Lynwood.....ridiculous bitch!

Fine that Lindsay Lohan gets determined dealing with herself, she does need rehab like Mel Gibson needs a psychiatrist, with any luck this woman will not likely get discharged from rehab soon this time as being discharged early from UCLA was surely the main fact why this girl relapsed so shortly in the first place, i'm praying for you completely Lindsay, I am hoping you are able to handle your harmful addictions.

It appears you should only get let go when you say improper things associated with Jews Helen Thomas also now Sanchez).

Yesterday, Rush set up videos of President obama and Hillary Clinton or other Dems and played shows from Ahmadinejad’s message and noticed that they both equally say the same things while referring to This country and capitalism.

I dont know who you think you are, but youre just blowing smoke out your ears. Nothing youre saying makes sense and its all a bunch of immature ranting. If you want people to get behind your blog, you should at the very least learn a little something about what youre talking about!

Intense? Lindsay Lohan wouldn't be aware of 1 / 2 of it. I can recommend for her a business titled Palmer Drug Abuse Program. They may perhaps be able to help her.
