To Choose or not to Choose

Make your choice, because if you don't you already have.

To Choose or not to Choose

The world is not as it seems, the fabrication of society is merely a construct that is designed in order to achieve a certain goal in the functioning and normalization of human interaction. This means, more simply, that society is designed with something in mind.

Society is designed around an idea which comes from society itself, how society thinks it should be. Visions of perfection exist in a myriad of ways, visions from the media, products, and advertisements that want to be a certain way.

The very existence of labels is in fact foolishly misunderstood. Biological sex is a physical thing that can be determined. People argue about the existence of genders. This is foolish because there must be infinitely many genders, because stereotypes and labels are merely crystallizations of reality. To define something that is unique in such a way that it promotes misunderstanding by coalescing the idea with ideas that are created to promote a beginning understanding is foolish.

This assertion derives that individuals must all be different people. People make choices based on their perceptions, and their memories are very much responsible for shaping these perceptions. But are choices based on our perceptions? Does free will even exist? What is existence? What is the essence of existence? Free will couldn’t exist without the context for it to exist in. What does this mean? That the very nature of free will corresponds to its existence, meaning that the nature and meaning of existence is created with existence itself.

This must mean that since the nature and essence of an individual is only created with their existence, that every individual must be unique. If this is the case, then their interpretations of existence, and things such as genders must be unique.

This applies to all things, and if we want to move forward in the world we must critically analyze what our own existence is. We must ask ourselves who we are, what we want from this world. This is the nullification of a majority of the world’s problems. Many people are sheep and do not ask, they fall to the whims of cruel people whose intentions are purely to strip others of their unique existences and force them into servitude to further their own corrupt intentions.

When people stand together against this, the world will change greatly. People speak of great weapons and they fight wars which are merely distractions from reality. The true war is that of understanding, for it is the panacea for a world that is poisoned with ignorance. Recently many people did not vote in the election with excuses along the lines of: if I have to pick between two evils, I would rather not pick at all.

This is the case in the war against ignorance. The sides are ignorance and understanding, and if you choose not to choose to fight for a side, you are willfully supporting the side of ignorance. The side of ignorance is inherently against the uniqueness and true worth of the individual. So you have to ask yourself, which side will you fight for? Fighting is not a choice, because to exist is to fight.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
