Critical Knob of Fuckedness
Today, I gotta rant on every person who lives in this fucking planet. This quarantine is challenging by sanity. It might not surprise you but we are on the brink of facing a psychological pandemic. Let’s appreciate the intensity of this event. Imagine a city in front you and somehow the base of the city is fucked up. The whole base of the city is balanced on a single point (Google Centre of Mass, pseudoscientists). A minor shift in the weight distribution will lead to the collapse of the whole building. Now listen to me y’all we are going to face this shit very soon and when it comes, it will be worse than any coronavirus we are facing right now. These diseases need a medium to travel they originate from somewhere but the fucked up thing about this pandemic will be that it won’t require a medium it will originate from our inside. A lot of you will say that “This guy is just taking things from Subtle Art.” But listen to me I have witnessed it from my own eyes and believe me when this comes it will come with great force collapsing all of our minds like a domino. In stage 1 we will give ourselves an illusion that we are living in Utopia also know as the stage of denial. In stage 2 due to oncoming of some events and accidents, we realise that we live in a fucking mental hell hole widely being accepted as the stage of realisation. In stage 3 we will act like the greatest cowards who ever existed in this planet and will seek to victim mentality known as the flight stage. Somehow our unathletic minds will become the Usain Bolt of running away from problems. In stage 4 we will realise that our resort to this athletic behaviour has lead to increasing the speed of the onset and finally, we succumb to our problems leading to either act like a zombie running behind our wants or being numb throughout the life robotic in our actions machined by our drugs of sins known as the stage of aconsciousness (made up term) where consciousness seems to boil away farther from our reach. Yes, we are pretty fucked up, somehow we have made such a joke of our minds, our emotions and our thought process that we have stopped thinking. Somehow our essence of thinking has become brainstorming rather than realisation. Create new problems, find new solutions which create a new set of problems, no worries find new solutions to escape those problems. We have transitioned from being makers to seekers. Seeking something external for our internal peace. It’s not a diss on my readers, it’s a diss on the whole of humanity. We have failed as a conscious species, we have failed to think.
Ideological LandFills
We all are told to segregate waste, recycle it and most importantly please try to fucking reuse it. “ReUse” a word which has somehow vanished away from our ideas. In fact, we have not only stopped reusing our ideas we have stopped fucking utilising them to the full extent. Think about this you are given a plate with every vitamin and minerals and your mom says complete the balanced diet but all you prefer are the desserts. Imagine 10 days eating only desserts every day, what will be the consequences? You aren’t Kim Jong Un who’s metabolism is so effective that you don’t even poop. You are gonna become fat, as much fat as your fat friend who is being called ugly by everyone. Whenever a new concept enters our world, somehow we don’t think it through. Be it political correctness, gender fluidity, consent or relationships. Everything is broken, broken than that one autistic classmate you ever had, whom you used to judge every day for their behaviour. Somehow we just know to blatter words. Feel offended, politically incorrect, feel regret, lack of consent, feel not recognised, homophobe. See the point is that we don’t want to take a shit, we can’t take a shit. If I tell you that why do I need to prove to you that I am a nice person to be your friend, why do you think so highly of yours? I will get a tight slap from the phrase “stay within your boundaries.” Ignorance has replaced offence, dominance has replaced consent and validation has replaced acceptance. We tend to validate our problems than to accept and solve it. We tend to stay ignorant of criticism and stay offended. We tend to become special than to accept our mediocrity. In fact, why should we? Entitlement is our birthright. Somehow staying a victim is far better than being your moral police. Who likes to solve crime anyway? Everyone wants to sympathise with the victims and just loathe upon the society.
We all accept that consent is important, but we never accept the emotional nakedness. I am not against saying “no”, no means no and you are mentally broken if you need to realise it, but what about emotions. Why don’t we ever talk about emotional consent? If hiding our physical actions not wrong then why hiding our emotions becomes a big drawback of any relationship. If we can say “it’s her choice” for the physical aspect then why does emotional censorship has a big toll on all of us. Consent does not comes only into play when someone is doing any action on you, but it also comes into play when you are doing the same action. Somehow, it’s funny for people to say “no” and not hear one. Somehow, our response to reject someone is far more tolerable than to be rejected. We need to understand that consent is not one-sided lines of noes but it’s also both-sided acceptance of dialogue. Consent is important and so is dialogue. We all have stopped discussing somehow, an ultimatum is what we want. Coming to a concrete solution is far less appreciated than winning an argument because yes we are going to get an award right by Jesus fucking Christ? Congratulations for ruining fucking everything and making this world a stupider place.
Till now we have established how broken we are. Let’s now talk about other broken aspects of us and then how to fucking solve it.
How Dare You
I am sorry to intervene in your boundaries, but do you have any? If I ask you to define your boundaries, will you be able to define it without being subjective, without that touch of “it depends” Yeah sure, you are a very aware being but are you? Can you define the strict line where you can say that it’s you and not the projection you are trying to showcase? Oh wait, the line is blurring out, somehow you have become the projection only. You are now not concrete, having no form and just reflections of others. Someone called you rude, oh no wait, you can’t be rude, you are the nicest person in this planet earth. Wait! that person is being superficial, they don’t appreciate me, I am flawless. This is the dialogue we all have with ourselves every day, escaping the problems we face every day. We avoid defining ourselves, our boundaries and respect our emotions because very few people are gonna see that. Your 500 followers aren’t interested in knowing your definition, they are interested in your drama. The drama of how well you can fool themselves. We are sad, being gloomier than ever we could have been. The person who invented the vacuum tube thought that the world is going to be a better place, but it doesn’t seem so. The world has become a gloomier place. We are so scared of ourselves that we fail to define.
Think about it how dare I could enter into your personal space because you didn’t care enough to define it. Our concepts our vague, let’s talk about political correctness. You are a homosexual woman, you go to a bar and a guy approaches you, you have a nice conversation and he asks for your number, you say no you are not interested in guys. You feel like he’s such an ass and offensive to assume that you are straight. He asked for your number ma’am, not for kids. Think about it, the relationship hasn’t even started, maybe you are the one who become so absorbed that you didn’t have the time to think that how could he have known. It was just an assumption, people do judge. You judged your classmate for having a hookup, now how did this Mother Teresa got inside you. The point here is to not become a dog whistle to the offence but to define the fine line between ignorance and offence. When are you being ignorant towards a dialogue and when is the dialogue being offensive. I could go on and on trying to nitpick all these flaws we have, but we do need a solution. I can’t act like a grandma.
Define!
You are a mess, so am I. This mess is never going to be sorted, but think about it. If I had given you a chance to become a pet dog or to continue your life, would you have chosen to become a pet dog? Consciousness is a very special gift and not everyone has it. Questioning and defining should always be our motive. We could resort to any pleasures in this world but how does it make us different from any species. Look down the history books, philosophy, science, art and literature. They all have a lot to tell us, to communicate our greatness. It’s not viable for all of us to dig into everything, but what is viable to us is to think. When we can’t define our boundaries, we are in grave danger. If we can’t define the boundaries of being indifferent and being effectively selective, then what is the use to have these senses. It’s easy to take the path of denial, it’s easy to sprint away from your problems, but that’s what the catch is they are easy because it’s easy to devolve not to evolve. Fire took place a hundred thousand years ago, and computers arrived 50 years ago. It takes effort to be better, to define better. Our previous generations had made sacrifices of their leisure and greed to make sure that we have the time to think. To think enough that we become more logical than ever, more specific than ever. Lookout in the world a lot of lines haven’t been made fine. A lot of lines haven’t been defined. There is already a lot of chaos in this world and the least we can do is to solve this internal chaos. Don’t give up hope, look around you, your friends, social media buddies all are out there to listen to you. Speak, listen, argue and come to a conclusion. Discover problems, find better questions, solve them and come with better questions. I know this is a never-ending process but we can’t go back to discovering fire. Look around all these resources are there for you to grow, to have a better outlook.
Living our lives, peacefully seeking validation and acceptance is pretty easy. Getting recognised is pretty easy too, but we are the basic building block of this social web if we deteriorate ourselves, so does this web. Think till your brain cells die. They don’t last that often only 80 years you have. The last concern of Einstien wasn’t how much popular he was but his latest physics problem. If we fail to think, we fail to fulfil the least duty of being a human being. We become aconscious. Look in the mirror and ask yourself this one question always-
Have you done justice to yourself?
