MANY manipulators lurk among us as human beings have an amazing ability to assert in order to get what they demand. One can marvel at how many can very casually step on other more oblivious beings simply to get ahead or advance a self-directed agenda.
In such a fast paced society, it has become a norm to act on one's feet and think on one's toes in leveling up various personal goals geared towards self-glory and boosting one's ego. Self-preservation is apparent in an expedient-oriented world consumed by a focus on external projections and winning a complex game. And many have subscribed to a pragmatic outlook of utilizing individuals as objectifiable and dispensable beings when there is a failure to recognize the universal and objective laws that govern our world and our nature.
Authenticity has become vastly diluted in a universe driven primarily by materialism and personal gain. Cynicism ensues when there is rampant superficiality and corruption in our daily behavior. Most then go about playing a strategic role and being wary of how to draw one's cards, explore and exploit the vast complexities and industries around.
With the rise of technology and the degradation of values and principles, the generational shift has gone on a downward spiral towards relativism and entitlement. A soft culture has emerged and has produced pricks and brats who orient themselves toward escaping difficulties rather than confronting them.
A pampered generation is inevitably detrimental towards molding the future. Hardships must be endured, problems must be faced, harsh realities must be addressed, difficulties must be encountered with shoulders back to further nourish our humanity and bring us closer to our full and real potential. Beyond external ambitions, internal realizations and character growth are integral.
Without a recognition of objective moral values and duties, anything can be permitted in how we embark the various challenges we encounter in our paradigm. It would then be imperative to see the higher moral framework as opposed to our various subjective perspectives and worldviews, which prove to be lackluster in digging deeper into the core matter.
Firm stances must be made over flimsy compromises, confronting harsh truths over comforting lies. Living truthfully is the ideal way to live, inclining ourselves towards eradicating chaos and suffering, enabling us to continuously level up as fallible and ironic beings.
Our humanity entails more substantive complexities that go well beyond mere instinct for survival and practicality, but a deeper understanding on abstract and spiritual matters of substance that dig deep into our soul. There is a yearning from every struggling man to find unconditional love unattainable amidst the mortal and fragile consciousness we experience. We all can have the potential to honestly become our best and truest selves.
