What Are You Fighting For?

Is it life? Or is it the “freedom” for it?

Is it life? Or is it the “freedom” for it?

Both? The concept of the endless war and violence isn’t enough to end the never ending longing for the “freedom” we seek for? Freedom of what really? Freedom of being a human? Or freedom from the suffocating system that creates restrictions to all the access one could achieve? What made those “powerful” beings think of those who fought for it? They watch everyone else collapse while raising their beings into the level of struggling in the society that has been categorized to the level of poor, average, and rich. Wealth and power have become the big factors of everything to have the choice of what we call having “options.” Everyone dreams for a better life. What is a “better” life? How about those who are spurned by society? They have been facing Endless struggles and hardships to survive and live to fit in this world. How about the innocent ones? What are they fighting for? The way I see everything in this world is like war everyday. Is there a competition going on? The victims of all of these, Who or what are they dying for?

Horrible things happening, terrible things still going on. The voices that ought to be heard are not being heard. The words that ought to be spoken aren't said. The good things that ought to be seen, aren’t shown. The minds that are ought to be awakened, aren’t being woken. It stays like this and it is becoming worse and worse to the point that the perspectives of what we are really fighting for are becoming misleading and it is going nowhere. We keep pulling the trigger and shooting for the wrong reasons. One couldn’t defend itself and justice is not being served to those who deserve it most. But who deserves it really? Humanity is dying. It’s growing and the more it grows, the connections become weaker and weaker. Everyone goes different ways when they are supposed to be learning to become one and stronger. The weak ones are being discouraged, the strong ones become more powerful. Is there really punishment for what mankind has become? Who knows really? This world is revolving in the universe, and humans revolve for endless selfish reasons living in it. The world is big enough for humankind to explore and one by one they have become so different and heading different ways of “living.” Without thinking what’s more, the explorations focus on the system that has been set to be followed to make one think how can they become “successful.” The crazy way of thinking about having money or wealth to be acknowledged for something that is not supposed to be that important. The art of what I called manipulations and enforcing these “systems” to control those who are under it. The stars above are witnessing how the earth has become every generation. And every generation can’t be just described as “rising” because there are things that are also “falling” at the same time. So what are you really fighting for? I guess whatever it is, one just has to fight for it. There is no hope to change the concepts of everything that has been imposed. What and who are we dying for depends now on what we just think they are for. This is just a deep thought that I could not emphasize more because I am not clever enough to find resolutions to what I am fighting for. I just wish it could be resolved in a way everyone could just live in peace rather than destroying each other just to prove something. But then again, it is up to us in the end.
