What distracts us

in #steemit5 years ago

When we are born into this world, we see things for what they appear to be; we don't look into any real meaning due to our blissful freshness and ignorance to the world. We are innocent and think everything around us is too. As we get older, we realize there is so much evil and bad in this world that changes our perspective on things. As we get older, we bloom like flowers and become who we are, for better or for worse.

As a group, us humans are categorized in many different ways that separate us into many different "columns" society decides to throw us into. We follow the day by day routine, we learn as we get older we gain more and more responsibilities and need to make money in order to survive. But most people don't think bigger than their own life, or their own routine. They think things around them are normal. For example, do you think binge watching sports or keeping up with it really has an actual effect on your personal life? No, but we are sure as hell tied up into it, not just sports, social media, fabricated "needs", etc.

As time went on, humans have found more and more ways to be distracted and torn away from our true intention on earth; whatever that may be. Maybe the higher social classes want us to be distracted, and stuck in the rat race...Ever thought of that? Maybe our lives in society was carefully planned and put into place for a reason...Maybe we will never know...But all I can advise you guys to do is think freely and think for yourself.

Please feel free to give me an upvote and resteem, as I am trying to make more content with a little more thought behind it, plus nowadays my posts rarely get acknowledged because all of the overwhelming spam on steemit, which sucks.
