We are losing our basic humanity. Heres why! A ranting opinion.
Why does modern man mock the wild, "uncivilized" world? Why do we feel such contempt for what isn't fed by McDonalds? Or bombarded with distraction in simple to consume mind numbing entertainment? We mock the forest and we mock the things in the world that are still in touch with the harshness of reality. There is something to be said for earning what you need. For going out to fight and struggle for what allows us to live. Be it nourishment for the body, the mind, or the soul. We should all try and separate ourselves every once in a while from the comforts we surround ourselves and take for granted every day. When we strip away the wilderness from the animal we get domesticated swine. And there is an animal still very much alive in mankind. Most of us have suffocated and smothered it. But very few people still have that savage purity in them. And savage truth is the ultimate truth. Savage love is the ultimate love. Savage truth is not the truth we tell our, "loved ones", so that we can make them feel better. Or spare them a hurt feeling or two. Savage love is not the love we make compromises for. But a modern civilized world is what lies a "civilized world tells us all we can be president. It tells us all we can be whatever we want to be. This is true but then neglects to let us know that we have to sacrifice and sometimes suffer for what we love and desire. We start to lose touch with that song in our hearts and souls when we play video games instead of run and play. When we don't listen to the wind in the woods but instead bombard ourselves with millions of channels of mindless sound. When we don't know how our soul handles suffering we don't know the joys of victory over diversity. We forget that life is not always fair and that life and the universe kill. We are beast and we must embrace that. When we forget the animal inside we stop stalking our prey and instead wait for the slops from our betters. And we stop having art that mimics the life around us and instead get that dick with his god damned Campbell’s soup cans and call that crap art. We forget how to paint a night sky and instead make corporate art for yuppies to buy. Well fuck media art, fuck Andy Warhol, and fuck modern man. I'm going to read some Nietzsche.
