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.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
