{SHORT STORY} The modern day man.

in #story6 years ago

Strangest thing I am addicted to is being in complete silence with myself. Talking to myself and having conversations. I do this from time to time and it satisfies me. I like to think. I like to observe and conclude on my own.

Walking to the city centre from where I live is amazing. I live in a not so crowded place and when I walk to the city centre I progressively see more people. It takes me up to an hour to get there but I observe the differences. What I see when I get to the centre of my city is shocking. The destruction of humanity is here. I observed the fall of mankind. The autopilot we are all in.

We sacrificed our small businesses to feed big corporations who intentionally make the food poisonous and easy to make (aka cheap) so to sell more. Big corporations kill small business and kill our city day by day as we sell our city's soul to them. They have the control over what we BUY.

Or is there any control at all. We buy their crap which is mostly garbage made to look, smell and taste good with artificial flavours. Reality is now artificial. And I see so many dead souls going on and on and on buying this crap and eating it. Enjoying the crap. Enjoying their destruction. Can I call all of them psychopaths? Why can't I?

Control is not in our hands anymore. We BUY what they sell and what they sell is all garbage so we are forced to eat shit. We are forced to die slowly and painfully by a few people who decided it will be that way. Because of their own fucking interests.

Most of these people I observe every day are well dressed. They do spend a lot of time trying to look good. Just so some strangers on the streets can like them. Speaking to them is forbidden if you are not well dressed as they are. Otherwise, if you are wise and speak to them, they will think you are crazy because of the language you use. They traded the beauty of knowledge and understanding of the world for the beauty of the eyes. They satisfy the eyes, never the soul. If we combine the self-destructing routine they have, we create a living zombie which suffers every day just to live.

Destruction keeps this zombie alive. They die just to live, That's how empty most of modern society is. It is the most shocking truth. That we are here. In this day and age. Where corporations have beaten man. Corporation hypnotizing the whole generation and making them completely enslaved. Enslaved to their own destruction. Ego boosting them so they do not feel pain when they die, slowly. They feel JOY of dying. They are psychopaths indeed. A psychopath feels joy of-of killing and the modern day man feels joy of-of killing himself.

If we continue to promote this self-destructive lifestyle, we will kill ourselves as a whole. It just feels sad, to see these dead souls killing themselves. Enjoying it. Promoting it. Blindly following it. Never ever questioning it. So much potential wasted. Burned by the greed of people. We are the only species to systematically and deeply enslave our own kind. Discovering new ways to strengthen the chains.

I do not know who to blame. Blaming myself won't help. I was just lost as them a couple of years ago. I just went on my road to enlightenment. I can't blame them because they were used and they were modelled to behave like this. Patterns were inserted in one way or another to their heads and they just repeat. Like robots. I can't blame the controllers. The puppeteers because in their eyes they haven't done anything wrong. That is their plan. So we have to battle. I do not have anyone to blame. We just need to accept the reality and battle it. We need to make a new reality better and freer than this. More loving less crapy. More realistic. A reality based on reality. On truthfulness.

Is it possible? I ask you is it possible? Do you see it happening? Because I am just swinging between yes and no. I am lost. Lost into the nothingness in today's world. Lost in trying to find a meaning to all of the lost souls when I do not find any. Something meaningless just drives me insane. Am I insane? Or they are? Why can't I just be like them? Enjoying the destruction, just enjoying something. Huh. Is this a blessing or a curse? To have the ability to see more than everyone else. To think more than most of humanity. I can't just think for all of them. It is too much. It is too much of a rock I have to carry with me. Knowing that most of the people won't understand who am I. I do not understand myself either.

At the end of the day, I still have a lot of questions waiting to be answered. I am just walking and thinking what if all of these people I observed were just a little more curious about the world around them. Just a little. But maybe a little is... too much to ask.

Песента е брутална човек мерси. Ппц не съм много метъл фен, но твоите песни са доста добри, които ми пращаш. Има много смисъл и всичко със смисъл уважавам и слушам. Мерси

Моля, @krisstofer. Аз също не бях метъл фен, но преди 15 години една метъл (рок) група ме спечели с цял албум. Първо ми направи впечатление самата обложка на албума и после бе достатъчно да чуя една песен... Малко след това последва разочарование, то бе доста горчиво, защото групата тръгна по пътя на славата и комерса, промени стила си и се раздели с певицата си... Хе-хе-хе, няма да кажа коя е групата... твърде е известна... дори и днес :).

Междувременно аз открих други групи и изпълнители, някои от които също се поразпаднаха. Но все още повечето продължават да упорстват и издават албуми. Тази музика е как да кажа... от малкото останали истински, защото се създава с ръце (сърце), а не с компютър. И по-важното изпълнителите имат пълна творческа свобода, поне тези от "ъндърграунда". Появяват се и нови, от време на време ги "изкопавам".

Конкретно за този стил са характерни концептуалните албуми и като чета постовете ти, в съзнанието ми изниква по нещо, което съм слушал и има същия смисъл като съдържание.
