We live in a rather unpredictable world. Everything that we endure on a day-to-day basis has the potential to disappear at any given moment. Anything and everything can and will change in one way or another, regardless of any countermeasures. But what can one expect? Stability doesn’t exist. It’s a myth of the human experience to give people a goal. It provides a goal, a source of motivation.
I live in a world where my sole existence as a member of society is to be educated, get and maintain a job, provide as much money as humanly possible for the government, and die. That’s basically what it comes down to. I am just a number. Not your traditional identifier, no. Rather I am a quantity, a monetary unit. The more money I make the better off I am, the better off the World is.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve always heard our leaders talking about “the next generation,” their children and grandchildren. The ones who they will be leaving the decisions to when their reign ends. My generation. As a minor, I am used to being forced to accept the decisions being made for me. However, it seems that with a case as large as the World, it would make more sense to get the opinions of some of the so-called “future leaders” of the World.
I live in a world being molded for me, and yet I have no say, no influence over anything around me.
Our current leaders are in need of some desperate help. Fresh, “hip” help, if you will.
Our world is in a state of mass confusion and hysteria. We know what we want to do (for the most part), but don’t know how to do it. We want to “go green” but don’t want to spend the money to finance the project. We want to end the war, but keep sending troops into Iraq (and soon to be Afghanistan). We want to create jobs, but are laying off workers by the thousands.
Change is in the air. With Obama in a unique position, it seemed like change was a viable solution to our problems. In the last 3 months, since January 21st 2009, Obama has shown us that his commitment was only halfhearted.
The 2-Party system we currently have has failed us. And it is time. Time to start over.
If we really want change, we can’t make empty promises. We can’t build on to a failing system, either. True change will require starting from the ground up.
Instead of building a foundation for the future, let us start the future now. Stop the corruption of the current legal system. Stop letting people make decisions that we don’t want. Stop letting the current generation dictate how things are without considering the future. Our systems are out to help the presently rich and happy parties stay rich and happy. If we want a successful country, a successful economy, and a successful world, we need to strip away the petty differences that are holding us back.
Let’s get a new perspective. A perspective that matters.
Hello. I am Julius. This is my blog. I am a hobbyist/future game developer. A enjoy politics and Call of Duty: WaW. I like reading and watching South Park. I like living a life that matters to me, and disregarding social taboo. I like being me.
I’m going to use this blog to get my opinions across. I’ve tried blogging before, and it never worked out. But I’m confident I can do it this time.
Enjoy.
