The Insanity Of Society

Most humans today are certifiably insane. Yes, I said it. The definition of insanity is doing the same things over and over again and expecting a different result. In fact, society’s definition of sanity is actually insanity. Society tells us to get a job, make money, buy the house, the car, eat this, do that…while we sit back and wonder why we aren’t happy. So we do more of what society tells us, expecting that it will make us happy. And it hardly ever does.

So what do we do? We watch mindless tv to reassure ourselves that we are just like everyone else, that we are normal, that we are doing as expected. We accept mindless drivel as truth, without ever questioning that maybe its wrong. Doesn’t that sound insane? Is that really all there is to life; getting a job, getting married, having the required 2.5 kids, retire, die? Sounds like a hamster wheel to me.

Think I’m wrong about the mindless drivel? Take a look at the email scams that go around all the time. If you believed all of them, you can’t live. You can’t eat anything, breath the air, wash your body or live in your home. But people believe them as truth all the time, until some scientist says on national tv that there isn’t a scrap of truth to it. And then they believe the scientist blindly. Until the next scientist says differently then the first, then beliefs change in the blink of an eye. Isn’t that insane?

We drug ourselves to hide anything that might be considered abnormal, that doesn’t fit with the social norm. Then we hide the fact that we are taking drugs to correct an imbalance that society told you that you have. Hmm. What result are you expecting? Society is telling you that you have to take drugs to be normal, then telling you that taking those drugs is abnormal, so to be normal you have to not admit that you are taking them.

Doesn’t it make more sense to do what feels right for you? Regardless of what other people think. You are the only one who has to look at yourself in the mirror every day, the only one living in your mind and body, so why is it so important what everyone else thinks? Try being “certifiable” for just one day, it can be a lot of fun.
