There are certain ideas and realities in our society that we take for granted. I'm not talking about the obvious things, running water, food, electricity, waste management, I'm talking about ideas that are more deeply rooted in the way we live and think. The first is money, actually it goes beyond money to monetary value. Everything in this world revolves around money, because we have to give everything a value, why? Why does everything need to have a value attached to it, how did we evolve this way? I'm not condoning it, I'm just asking why it is. Is there something inherit in us that needs to do this, and what would be the alternatives, and i don't mean just changing a few things, I mean what are other ways we could have evolved. The second is sex and violence. One of these things is natural and wonderful, the other is the darkest part of our humanity. We accept violence, we watch it and revere it. We see wars as needed, and we don't truly comprehend what war is, that it is the masses dying and tortured, so a few can have more land, or more power, or more money, or all of the above. We are the ones dying in the wars, yet we don't comprehend the true violence of it. Sex on the other hand is where our greatest passions can be expressed. It is the most natural human action beyond the vital necessities, yet is vilified and people are made to feel guilty about it. We treat prostitution as if it was one of the worst crimes possible, maybe not in our court systems, but what thoughts and emotions do you feel to the words prostitute, or hooker. We follow an illogical reasoning throughout life, that we never truly think about, but accept. Some of us see the world, and see it needs change, but few of us realize the depth of the change that is needed, to society, to create a more tolerant world. Why as our true subconscious, instead of giving a value to everything , do we not feel the need to better the world and help our cohabitants.
