Society & bladiblah .

Although we all consider ourselves living in an open society full of gender equality and emancipation, it is inevitable to say that in this world, we'll always be held captive, imprisoned and chained - unless you live alone, isolated and secluded on a far, far away island distanced from society.

If you look around, you'll notice what I mean.

Daily life is based on a very intricate system which sustains itself as every group of person (commune, community) fulfills the task he has been assigned to. Just like the principles of wildlife and ecosystems, we human beings are part of a (based on ecology's "food web") "social web" which exists apart from the food web we already belong to (autotrophs -> primary consumers -> secondary consumers -> tertiary consumers -> ... ).
Taking this into consideration, it can be assumed that this "social web" merely manages itself if every group of person continues the task that is expected from it. So what does this really mean?

If you ask me, I'd say that because of that, we are the victims and captives of our own selves - not only of our own beings and minds, but of our own lifestyle. Through the further development of technology and further "improvements" that facilitate our way of living, we have locked ourselves up in a cage whose key has been thrown away and may never be found. We are bound to each other, expecting others to fulfill his "job" to be able to do ours - and to be able to survive. We have become co-dependent, although we claim to be emancipated and self-sufficient - imprisoned in this cycle which impedes us from truly breaking free.
 In a sense, we are like animals (heck, we are animals) with our own "species" and our own "populations" which complement each other to form a whole.

Is this what truly defines us? Are we really individuals who strive for our own goals and own aims, keeping business to ourselves as we tread on? Or are we just part of a collective group which contributes to the whole system for it to work? What defines every single one of us? What defines an individual? And if this is the case, why does racism still exist?

(P.S. I'm sorry for the waffling - I still have to work on my ability in sorting out thoughts and writing them down.)

If a name is a tag, a term to address you with,what is really being?
What are you and who are you if the words that describe you are subjective, invented words which just facilitate the lifestyle of man?
What are you and who are you, if, in every place and every situation, you transform into somebody else, depending on who you are with, to optimize your own convenience?
What is this inconsistency which man has evolved with, this inconsistency which challenges man to doubt his existence as he slugs on in life to "please and fulfill" his own/or someone else's desires, even those of a "higher" being?
What really defines us, as an entity, as a human being?
Are we opulent servants who were given emotions which we are supposed to ignore with humility?
... Or are we the products of evolution; of the gift of Nature that, hypothetically, "sustains itself"?


The clock keeps on ticking - and I feel lost in time.

WTF.

It's discouraging to see the society around you, not getting better since no one seems to care.It's draining to merely observe your surroundings, losing energy as you see the face of evil.
What has our society done? How low can it get?!

...and the worst part is, I'm part of this pile of sh*t.
