The debate around these subject is everlasting, and it has more directions than the now famous “three body problem”. At a moment, I have developed an idea, based on the “how many degrees from the idiot”, and this can be a source of a slight comment I want to make here, based on facts I have collided with in the past, I am doing in the present, and for sure will do in the near past. How does a functional state look like? To me, it is simple. One with a strong conscience, and a powerful belief that community is the most important. You need a high intelligence for this, of course, and then everything can fall into place, so all people can enjoy a better and a better life. We pay taxes, we work, we wish to have benefits from those taxes, like we should. Do we, now? It is an obsolete discussion, linked to politics and elections, and I am not stepping towards that direction.
Why is it so hard to care about what’s around you?
Not because I don’t want to, but because it actually doesn’t mater in the current stage. In the end, the society itself is shaped by individuals, by people, and their mirroring is the politics. Living in a specific place, with no importance of locating it temporally or spatially, and realizing that most around you don’t care about others, don’t follow the most elementary rules of common sense, determines you to understand that nothing can be done to improve. You realize that society is rotten from the foundation, not at its peak. You see, full of disappointment, how people don’t allow you to pass, don’t look out for the way in which their children are circulating, by bike, by foot, by toy-car. Everything its at the mercy of one’s fate. Without caring in any way if your action affects others. How can you care, then?
There are places, but not exactly here…
“Are you happy?”, a common question, with an apparent easy, easy answer. In reality, though, the response is much more profound. Thea more stupid you are, the happiest you proclaim yourself. Because you don’t care how your life style creates repercussions all around. If you have today your burger, or French fries in your plate, than you are happy. Nothing else maters. Happiness is simple, yet so complex. What is it for me? A definition is as hard as described from the very beginning of this text. But I hope, everyday, that tomorrow I will woke up in a place where people are concerned about their actions affecting others, about the fact that it is not necessary to have two-three vehicles for each family, neither is necessary to take everyday your own car and travel in it alone. A place in which people are looking to walk aside the bike tracks, the running tracks, or on the right side of the road. A place where you don’t need to look behind your shoulder every moment. Of course, those places do exist. It is just they don’t and cannot appear where I am wishing to see them and to experience the change, a change that will help every single individual grow and be happy. Really happy, not as a tiny-sized basic happiness…
