What is a 24 years old unemployed fresh graduate's most valuable asset? It's time, definitely, well extra time to be more precise. Everyone has the same amount of time every day, but since I have not had much to do besides spamming resumes and sending applications to companies who won't even bother opening my emails I decided that there must be something I can offer to the world and make my existence the least bit more meaningful. So this blog came about, but what exactly is it about?
Since young I have always had this habit of questioning anything and everything that happens, and until now I still can't seem to find an accurate answer. It's not the "what is the meaning of the universe" kind of question that puzzles me the most, but something along the line of "why is a cat called a cat and not a book, or an engineer". Things are the way they are not because of mother nature or the will of a holy entity named differently by different groups of people, but simply because they are supposed to be like that. Names are given to objects, practices are passed down between generations, traditions are taught within communities, laws are written and enforced upon the mass and ideologies are instilled into the average man's mind. Society, the world, and essentially life itself are built upon artificial values assigned by us, human beings, who proclaim to be the ones fit to sit comfortably at the top of the food chain.
The only truth in this world is that there is not absolute right or wrong. Murder is "wrong" because society deems it a crime, laws forbid it and normal people detest it, but in a world without order, rules or guidelines which is effectively a natural one the act of a creature slaughtering another being does not raise any eyebrow, or at least it should not. And in such a world each and every being would be deemed equal, and there would be no distinction between species and no problems whatsoever if one wants to kill another, be it for food, defence or leisure. Yet in the society we grow up in, it is not acceptable for a human to kill a human, but perfectly fine for restaurants to serve chickens in lemon juice. Dog meat which is a delicacy in some countries but a taboo in others is a concrete proof of the inconsistency that engineers our living experience. Human, chicken and dog are not different and should not be treated differently in a world in which humans do not rule and dogs are not considered men's best friends, yet a human eating a chicken is normal, a human eating a dog is normal to some and abominable to others, and a human-eating chicken would be called a monster and hunted down using all military resources. Have you ever thought about what a ridiculous world we have been born into?
Concepts, theories, and opinions are formed, cultivated by the information we retrieve and process. Any issue or matter is viewed, judged and discussed on with an attempt to express one's own thinking and emotion which are ultimately constructed the moment one begins to exist. Whatever nonsense I have rambled up until this point originates from my own exposure to various sources of knowledge and diverse personal experiences. It is by no means definitely correct, but not absolutely wrong either. As much as I can't completely persuade anyone into agreeing with my way of thinking, no one can totally refute it and that's the purpose of my blog.
My future posts will focus on analysing controversial topics in an objective manner and attempt to produce a most reasonable response to a question, an issue or an incident. I would not ride on popular trends or majority's stand, but I would not disregard their validity if any either. Still at the end of the day it will by my perspective which I wish to share with the world, and whether the world accepts it or not, it doesn't really matter.
