02 - Stupidity or Escapism

Stupidity, or should I described it as the inability to solve inconvenience. Therefore, by not accepting it, there will not be any disruption which makes one feel secure for their very own liability or rather, one's mirage.

So why do I term it as "stupidity"? The very idea of thinking it is solved but in reality, by denying it, it becomes "Oh, no big deal", or "nah, I couldn't be bothered to". Such disgustingness give me the desire to puke since the very fact itself is actually becoming not a fact, but because of simply not having resolve to face the issue which leads to the individual affirming itself that there is nothing wrong.

This sacred escapism created by themselves is a conscious act, but because of society, it becomes unconscious.

Humans have many weakness, like the saying of how "No one is perfect". Thus, to hide the imperfections, we come up with this very idea of stupidity that by gathering in groups and seemingly finding another individual that might be able to relate or have a common interest, are what we term as "friends".

Now, I'm not saying having friends is a bad thing. Without exception I too have friends, but I cannot accept the idea of having friends just to hide your weak and fragile souls behind this man-made sorcery.

I want you all to observe your surroundings, just for one day, don't talk to anyone, just look and observe. From the simplest detail to everything, be it in the bus, train, school, work.

Take a day and observe and you will see how fragile and disgusting the society today is.

Now let me explain what all I've been trying to convey since I doubt there are many that are able to understand anything so far.

See, a normal image of seeing teens chatting to one another is common, but I want to ask, why must it be so fake yet the personas people put up can be so righteous to themselves but in The Eyes of the Wise, everything is but a weak front. Observe closely and you will understand what I mean.

A common example, 2 female teens chatting on the bus. So what might you expect the conversations to be about? Girls stuff right. Yes but did u know that when they talk to each other both are using 50% of their thought process to think how can I reply and what should I say, and the other 50% taking into factors such as consideration, kindness etc.

You see, in the common eyes of others and between themselves, "friends" are used to describe this relationship. However, it is actually petrifying how the number of your friends that actually can be befitting of the social identity, "friend".

Wanna know how fragile this bond is? Simple. Propose a deal of $100 to your "friends" and tell them to say negative views about yourselves and they get to claim the money. Trust me, 100% of your friends will do it and the reasoning would go along the lines of, "Oh, you know I don't mean it right?" Source? from me.

Anyways, it is truly a hollow facade that humans are exceptionally capable of yet unaware of projecting it daily.

So I question, is this Stupidity or Escapism?
