What's on YOUR mind?

Part 3: Mind & Influence

The mind, the one thing that sets human life, above all other life. Plant life doesn't even have a free-will. There is no mind for a piece of foliage to think with. Animals are on different levels of intelligence. Most hunt, some are hunted. Every living organism has a defense mechanism, but that of humans is far more advanced. We are the species with the highest brain power. Sometimes it's questionable, since we tend to be the reason we're in this shit hole. We've made our own mess, and we still aren't cleaning it up.

From birth, the mind is literally a sponge. It comes like a computer. It has the main programming already installed, the basics. Hunger, some basic emotions, the ability to release fluids, the basics of living, but the rest will be programmed into our memory and personality as we grow. That is a very wide variety of variables my friend. Very, very wide. Some may be religion, politics, fashion, music, art, philosophy, the simple fact your father was a doctor might lead you to be a doctor. Like mentioned, the variables are considerably substantial.

Where do we draw the line? Where is the line now? Our education is our well-being. It's not what we need to get a good job to make lots of money, but if you notice, that's all they teach you in our schools. They teach you how to survive in their world. Not the teacher's, nor the professor's; not the principal's nor the superintendent's, the world of systems, non-natural systems. Nature has an influence of its own, some call it the Darwin Theory, but it's a form of keeping the "natural system" balanced. Nature in itself would still be here if humans never came to. It has a system of its own, and instead of us acknowledging it, we decided to disrespect it and form our own, which sets some individuals in power over the other. That's not a natural balance, that's not Darwin's Theory, it's not survive of the fittest or American Gladiator, this is life! This is reality! This is nature, and the food chain doesn't involve cannibalism.

...Someone stop me now if you think this is wrong.

A mind can have so much influence over another, over many, because deep down we want to believe people are good, and that they don't want to lie or harm. There used to be a time you could believe things like that, but our way of living, and our societies have evolved human nature into a corruptible, manipulatable, weak tool. Governments aren't stupid, don't think they want the best for us, if they did we'd have geothermal energy running the globe. It's thee safest, cleanest, and essentially the cheapest source of energy, eventually it would be free. No, instead we have oil and coal that destroys our health and air. Governments know what it does, and they don't stop it. Don't you dare think they can't, that's there job, to GOVERN! Same with healthcare, dangerous pharmaceuticals, cheaper & cleaner public transportation, public housing, food biohazards, anything you can think of that's unsafe for us besides natural disasters. Government knows about, why do you think they have so many "agencies"? They're influenced by greed, by the almighty dollar.

It's what keeps their black hearts pumping. Politicians aren't human, do you know why? Because they don't acknowledge us, the ones who gave them the fucking power in the first place! They look at statistical read outs of what's "best" for us. We aren't statistics, we aren't an average value of human flesh. We need fresh air, pure reasons to live, we need to unite for a better future. We are living, breathing, loving & hating human beings. We aren't Americans, Mexicans, or Nigerians. You aren't English, Japanese, or Polish. Yes, it is your culture, but you are classified as a human, and yes folks, guess what....

It is that damn simple.

Yes, it all comes in a rush. This sounds like a modern aged conspiracy theory of how "the man" is here to corrupt and sell our souls, but it's not, sadly this isn't a psychotic man's view life and it's being. This is non-fiction my friend, thee real deeal.

It's all out there, the information now at our finger tips. Google my friend, google! The world wide web is at your disposal! Learn, educate yourself, let your word be your influence. Feed your mind with "organic" knowledge and don't eat off the spoon of ignorance. If you don't believe these allegations, look for yourself. It's the least you can do, if you can't, then you deserve to have life ripped from you. You can't sit there and think we're all okay, or tell yourself you don't have the potential to do something better. That my friends, is no life at all.

Don't get lost in the depression of growing up, simple pain is necessary to grow, keep your eye on the big picture and see what's really to come. Get lost in your hopes and dreams of a better future, a real chance at living, at defining life on your own terms, at experiencing what freedom can be. Get so entangled in these passions that when you wake up in this god-forsaken reality you'll go to earths end to make your dream come true. Let the ones around you feel the bliss it fills you with. Let others know that our superficial problems mean nothing in the end.

Let your one life be a never ending influence for something better, can you handle truly being happy?
