It's Them Or Us

But I have a feeling you'd rather it was us...

Think of your idea of a perfect world. Does it involve world wide peace? A ban against firearms in all countries? The removal of Trump and his Hitler-like reign? Or even simpler: an endless amount of puppies running all over the place? I bet you didn't think it would be a completely computerised and social media following army of robots with organs, and an endless campaign against imperfections. Unfortunately, we've missed out on the take-over of puppies and we are still stuck with pointless gun violence but in return we use publications such as Photoshop to make adolescents and young adults to doubt their natural beauty and pay thousands of money on plastic surgery. Of course all the money goes to the government...it has no other place to go right? Wrong.

But that's what they want us to believe. Many conspiracy theories tell us that the government purposefully use social medias, magazines and TV to aim at the increase of plastic surgery...But what do you believe? In the end will we regain the right to love our natural selves or will media once again win and destroy self-esteem, self-love and appreciation for originality. The problem with our society is we are so fixated on the idea of perfection. We moan that our bodies, minds and personalities are not up to the scratch of perfection but what is this god-forsaken idea? What is our special idea of something that needs no change? Every living thing in our prepossessing world changes over the due course of time. We all live in our beauty and our youth and fade into our natural state of torn and aged adulthood but instead of focusing on the perfections of our imperfections we aim to attack the imperfections. Our imperfections make the individual personalities and life-ways that we all go through as a community; yes we may deal with a great amount of trouble, terrorism, death, and crimes but if we were all to be the same would we even have a world to live in? Or would we just be meandering around not having a damn thing to say to each other?

Social medias are destroying the sphere our ancestors worked so damn hard to create but we bat a forsaken eye as we believe more and more deeper that it is the only entertainment that we need. Unfortunately, instead of writing this down on a tattered piece of paper randomly found in the cracks of my household, or the crisp and fresh clean-cut paper lines in a pristine conditioned book, I myself am writing my feelings down onto a media. But would we see this any other way? No, of course not. I may be hypocritical but that is an imperfection I don't intend to change anytime soon. In the near-future we will have no books or libraries. No torn pieces of paper or pristine diaries and we will listen to the ways of the damned that believe so deeply in cloning all women and men in this computerised century. What will it be like for our children? Our grand-children? Our great-great-great-great grandchildren? Will they model them all on the focus of one particular 'perfect' human that may not even be with them on the earth? Or will they understand that the age of social media was a terrible idea and go back to the simple ways of the 19th century?..

Unfortunately we don't know and we shall never know because if any humans in the world read this article it will most likely make no sense or mean absolutely sweet-nothing to them and when that time comes they will be long gone. I hope for the sake of the world that we have empowered, changed and moved, out of the course of nature, that something extraordinary happens and will make the opinion that social media and useless technology is the worst thing that Lucifer bestowed onto us 81 years ago. Take me back to a simpler time...
