We are all champion advocates of human rights. That is what we are today. With political establishments being overthrown globally in recent times, the laws of Science presents itself in the form of inertia, spreading uprisings, and setting a stage for common folks to assume a moral high-ground against its ruling constitution. It is only a matter of time before we will begin to see a new era of rebellion spreading across the globe like a disease, for we have seen the examples set forth by our middle-eastern counterparts, the so-called heroic dissidents of truth and equality, and for we too yearn for the joy of freedom against repression, oppression, and ‘what-so-ever-sion’ that we may come to think off when it is called for.
Welcome to the era of generation-X. The era when the Internet allows the truth to be accessed with the convenience of a click, which makes it all the more disturbing to comprehend, when one realizes that our golden generation has been given the choice to only ASSUME the truth, for there is not one single piece of information laid in our world-wide-web that is not biased in favor of a particular sentiment of belief. Be it on the basis of any form of ulterior motive, I daresay that almost 70% (if not more) of our youth today had the vision of the “ideal” future shoved down their throats by external influences, particularly by family members and their peers. Now that is what I call peer pressure. We allowed our minds to be brainwashed by the endless preaches of “the Only Truth” by those who we choose to trust, and thus we ride on the wave of momentum, delivering the message we are bred to believe but not to question, condemning clashing view-points as blasphemy, continuing the sermons as we were told, and continuing the hate as we pass it on to the children of our children, just like how it was passed down unto us. We choose to see what we want. We choose to believe in what we want. What fools have we made ourselves to be. I am downright disgusted by the way we allowed our emotions to overpower rational thoughts, and yet we dare say that we are only spreading the truth, for the truth must be embraced, and non-believers shall rot with their dicks in their mouth. I am not worthy to be the epitome of rational thoughts, for I am myself a man of many mistakes. But I realized that by having a neutral stand, one would be able to see pass all the bickering and mess, and soon find out that no political party, no religion, no nothing is indeed worthy enough to be accepted as the only “truth”. But here is the catch, people like me are cursed to suffer from what I would label as “information paranoia”. I find it hard to believe in whatever I read, hear or see. I am a constant skeptic, a constant cynic and at times even a narcissist, for I do not know who and what to trust, and for I could not even be bothered to lay my trust on anyone or anything, either collectively or individually, but on my own thought-processes. Upon stating this, one might say that i contradict with my own points that i've mentioned earlier, but let me remind you, that there is not one single human being who isn't cursed with the gift of hypocrisy. Our trust and beliefs are cultivated and selectively nurtured in favor of a certain ideal, via daily experiences and the ever important mass media, and as we grow, we need more of these “nutritions” to constantly fuel our faith, to remind us that we are on the right path, and on our very own lane we grow. We grow as vegetables on a designated plot, never creeping and always separated from the other plots where different plants are grown, for we were foretold by the harbinger from the future of our ancestor's past that blasphemy is the justification for those who stray away. We deny alternative viewpoints at our peril, never to realize that we have perversely tainted the very basic calling for PEACE, LOVE and EMPATHY amongst the ENITRE human race with our many different factions of beliefs. And in the end, what we have left for ourselves are lies, deceit, and variant messages of hate amongst our own kind in the struggle for power,intellectual vanity, and control.
