Society in my view is the part of the system that rules how we live. Today the rules the society uses is capitalism. Capitalism is an economic system that holds money as the most valuable. Human life is responsible to produce goods and services so money can be generated. Humans are expected to give their most valuable times of the day to generate money. Since we are born, we are taught to progress towards making more money regardless of defining our needs. The educations system has become a business like everything else in order to produce people that can use the latest techniques of the day to make money directly or indirectly. Nobody cares about art, music and dancing in its natural form any more. Why can we not produce good music any more? Because it is now a statistical production that serves to the request of the society, not the expression of artist any more. You can only become a star musician if there is a post open for you.
The society are not people any more. By people I mean, being able to understand the life around them and be independent of each other at the big scale and serve each other without any expectations in return. We now have successfully managed to become the society of dependent nations that choose virtual lives rather than living an ordinary life. I was sitting in a cafe with my wife the other day. We did not have our phones with us. We work together so at that moment we did not have anything to say to each other for about 5 minutes. I have realised that we have forgotten to not doing anything. These days, as soon as there is gap, we just get onto our phones. Look for things we do not target in the first place.
I was in London for a few days recently. It is the city that I was brought up in. I had not visited it for more than a decade. I was in the tube and saw everyone using their phones without exception. This was the city that everyone had a book in their bags and used to read them whenever there was a minute or two. Waiting for a bus even. It has now been replaced by phones. Do they serve to the same purpose? Not really. Even tho the internet has much more information to get hold of, we rather look at our social media notifications viewing the pictures of your friend's dad sleeping on the sofa in a weird position. The information that we are exposed to, or actually we choose to use are very shallow compared to the books that we used to read with more consistent concentration. As a consequence, those people that has popular culture end up having the confidence that their view matter and argue with others on the social media over things don't really matter and more importantly not arguing to the point but with the people or the group that has sent some comments.
We spend so much time in things do not matter and make the app and the website traffic go high and attract the business people to the site and make some people rich by doing brainwashing advertisement campaigns. We are exposed to so many advertisements everyday including children also being targeted.
The new generation do not even know how to throw a stone into the lake. They hardly get out of their apartments in crowded cities and spend all their days in them. As society, we are not adapting into the nature, we rather isolate ourselves from it. The consequences of this is inevitable depression. We think humans are very clever but the truth is, we have not done anything in favour of the nature. Instead, we have damaged it and this damage is accelerating.
I think it will make us better as people to get out of our comfort zones and make friends with nature. Adapt yourselves to the nature, don't go against it. It's ok to be bored sometimes. This makes us creative in unique ways. Take your time in things, nobody is chasing us. Let things be undone. Do not believe those who say we need to produce more and more. We only have finite resources. There is nothing wrong with you. There is something wrong with the behaviour of the society that is dependent on this system. Don't forget: when nothing is done, nothing is left undone. That is the way of the nature.
