VICIOUS WORLD: ECHOS FROM OUR ORIGIN

By: David Ale

« Like a desert wanderer, moving endlessly without going backward or moving forward, with no hope or a companion ».

Let's agree that this is just one big junkyard that has a competitive balance where there is a certain degree of hierarchy and there are people who will be forever enslaving some people.

For eon, the rich have constantly consolidated their power, established a strict hierarchy, and accumulated their shiny wealth through the method of Mental Brainwashing and Enslavement. In the beginning, it felt like an ordinary thing but as time went by the gap became further distant and unattainable.

They have enslaved the common people to satisfy their desires but gradually, they no longer saw the common people as their peers.

A world where the people in the highest positions are expected to fulfill their social obligation of giving alms and gifts to the poor just to satisfy their human ego. Poverty has been entrenched into our being and beliefs that it's a generational phenomenon when in it's actual sense it's just a shackle that will continue to separate the rich and the poor.

Drowning amid life's flood, only the wise can save themselves; so naive yet so pure there is no end to this flood we find ourselves in. We can only swim from one flood to another.

Even when we don't have the urge to participate in the power struggle, we still get dragged down when it begins to rain havoc and despite loving each other, we still end up losing ourselves. Let's check what Thomas Moore said about a Country called UTOPIA, a place where properties are public and human lives are equal; it's safe to say that this is the world that we all dream of. 

But the sad truth is that the UTOPIA we all probably dream of is impossible to achieve because UTOPIA is nowhere except in our dreams. The pain of being awake from our dreams is that it will only remain a dream.

The world is bustling with people seeking benefits and everyone is hustling for their own gain, in this world love is temporary and seasonal, the only eternal thing is self-interest.

Although it is said that raising a child means taking care of them, this is not a natural law, it's just that people's heart has a  lock called morality which make them follow these conventional rules. Some people are just cold,?unfeeling, and are not bound by any rules.

The whole world is like this; half light and half dark, the light thrives while the darkness decays and rots away.

“Everyone's birth and experiences are different, it is precisely because of this that this world has formed its diverse and colorful nature. If everyone were the same, what would be the point?”

The seven deadly sins of Wrath, Greed, Lust, Sloth, Envy, Gluttony, and Pride have perfectly and expertly explained human nature. These complex and undeniable traits have made it impossible to create the dreamed UTOPIA Paradise.

The irresistible touch of fate, our life choices have been made for us even before we were born and we have no right to refuse, there is no difference between all humans in this aspect.

Is there mercy when the butcher raises his knife?

Is he raising his knife for the pigs, the sheep's? or on humans?

Perhaps we will never know for ages to come.

“Life and wealth are like poison wrapped in honey very pleasant to the eyes but we all know what is in it, still we rush and scramble to attain it even though we know that it's end is just an endless abyss”.

As sweet as it may be it's still saddening that the truth is what everybody runs away from and it's often said that “ You can't help everybody even if you have the power, more especially you can't help those who are afraid of the truth,”.

People are creatures that change in the blink of an eye, at thirteen the sky looks thirteen to them and at twenty the clouds look twenty. Growing up, even if there are a lot of grievances, they must endure, even if there are injuries, they must not cry but swallow the blood and tears altogether. But time flows like water pushing you forward step by step with no chance of escaping.

What is this truth then; it's the fact that youths are suffering, they grow up most tragically become the person they once admired but now detest the most and when they go to sleep, they wake up to another day of poverty. The sea of bitterness is boundless and turning back is impossible.

The most powerful ability bestowed upon humans by God is perhaps the ability to Forget. No matter how unforgettable an event is, it will be forgotten over time. The evil we bring upon ourselves is the hardest to bear. Despite this gift, some people still cherish memories like they are precious jewels. 

Once heard that “ When death smiles at a man..... All a man can do is smile back. 

And all “The unannounced departures are for unexpected encounters of the future”.
