A feeling that everything is sham overwhelms me as I sit and contemplate the daily ritual. It seems that what we interpret as freedom is just a sham, that at the heart of all that is fed to us is a process of control. I have the unyielding feeling that whatever good we try and do it will ultimately fall into corruptive process of power and control.  Humanity seems to be in such a wretched state that any hope for good is lost in the cacophony of the evil that we are aiming to deploy upon our own species, never mind the so called lesser species which cohabit this planet with us.

In our arrogance and pursuit for ill defined happiness, comforted with the idea that what we actually desire is merely around the corner, what we are actually doing gets lost amongst the rabble of progression and greed. The fact is, that there is more than enough abundance for every man, woman and child on this planet but the abundance is confined to a select few, hording the resources so that a hierarchy of control is maintained. The hierarchy to be sure is a natural phenomena and found in all the known universe, however what is overwhelmingly stupid and absurd is the adherence to this natural order by an acutely intelligent species that is aware of its environment yet obstinately refuses to redefine the order into an all encompassing unit working as a whole.

Richard Dawkins’ Selfish Gene is no doubt the root cause of this individualistic/societal divide of the haves and the have nots and perhaps having the great divide diminished and abandoned all together is unfortunately and seemingly an impossible utopia to devise. The war we wage on each other as a species is in essence a result of our genetical  influence that would require greater expedience in intelligence rather than control and power, to defeat. But the cult of power and control is too irresistible to a creature that would sooner rather see the expiration of a world than loose claim to dominance over it.
