RE: Are we going too far?

in #blog6 years ago

Good question my friend, and to be honest with you, I think it's just going to get worse until it implodes.

these ideas are so paradoxical and unnatural that they are literally rotting themselves.

This reminds me of this story I heard, pretty hilarious in my opinion of this all girl college, traditional all girl school and what not.

They were running elections, for the students that is, and one of the titles to win, was something along the lines of "Representative of Diversity" or something of the sort.

Everything was going well, I suppose, but before the elections were up, the runner up, the girl that was poised to win the position made the choice to become a boy. Nothing against that, I'm all for freedoms, but it's relevant to the story.

Because she all of the sudden was a man, and her piers were forced to recognize her as one, they were also forced to see her as a threat. Because now she was a he, and he was a white male, and there is/was nothing more toxic than a white male, and a white male could never be president of diversity or anything of the sort.

Needless to say it became a cacophony of stupidity.

It's very much like piranhas, we all know the fishes that live in the amazonian river, right? Well, we think of them as a pack, they swim in deadly packs and attack big animals. They are quite impressive to take down birds and other critters many times their size.

Well, if one of the piranhas starts to swim a little sideways; guess what happens? That piranha get's served for lunch right there and then.

I will say the unpopular thing here, and say that we have forgotten what real problems are. We have a planet with people who can't drink water that doesn't have insane amounts of contaminants on it, and we are focusing on the sensitivities of those who feel uncomfortable when someone claps.

Where are our priorities?

Sort:  

EXACTLY
We are becoming more and more focused on issues such as the one on the article and yet people are starving every day, don't have clean drinking water, are being murdered or going homeless.
And yet this is where society decides to prioritize its time and efforts?
Jazz hands?
