My views and stand in this paper will not just going to focus on a specific issue that is in current occurence. Perhaps, I would like to address the main dilemmma that human beings have been trying to avoid for all of the entirety of their reasoning’s capacity. And that is to delineate the root of all the emerging perplexities. Well, I have been keeping this query in my mind for a very long time on about how is it just so easy to think and claim what is wrong about a certain matter, and yet very little number of the population have their guts to give much greater attention and priority to acknowledge the root of such dilemmas first, before contending it. This is why I think that people’s sufferance are in ceaseless ruling over people’s chance to flourish. This is because human beings are in natural state of choosing flight over fight. They don’t want to undergo such severity of coping with all the unanswered questions in this world, so they are just going to keep giving several interpretations onto the abstractedness of this world’s structure – seeking for the majority’s acceptance and obedience towards their constructed set of dogmas.
If we’re going to notice how people addresses the current problems and issues in this world, people are just trying to look for something and someone to blame. Trying to put the responsibilities on someone else’s back. Yes, there are still left in this world who are concerned and are committing to the relevance of taking actions immediately. However, the reality is already evident in a way of noticing ‘how much power does committing have to take in order for it to be effective?’ In order to achieve the desirable change that we’ve all been longing for? The answer for this should be obvious. We all need the greater placement of passion to care enough and thus use it as an effective drive to act dauntlessly; following the idea that each and everyone of us should have this kind of disposition.
In a more resentful sense, yet the most certifiable representation of our society’s system, human beings doesn’t seem to distinguish between their false desires and their genuine desires anymore. Because of this, people tend to misplace their sentiments onto something that cannot bring any genuine impact to them. False desires, I might say, are desires that are only displaced into the material matters that we also only happened to possess. Some of them claims that the more possessions you have, the more you can get closer to contentment. This is where some people’s consciousness misunderstands what moves them anymore. They don’t seem to notice that their passions are displaced and they only stand upright out of their habits. Habit for an endless compliance for their day-to-day necessities in order for them to survive. Yes, it is only just to comply with our necessities most especially we’re creatures that are bound by biological means that are needed to fulfilled by only human activities such as eating, drinking, sleeping, etc. And in line with this human activities, we do know that we can only able to execute this if we have foods, water, home, and many more that are represented in a material sense. However, people should not absolutize sensation – feeding their egos that there’s so much pleasure and power in their possessions. Because if they do, how come would they able to achieve the highest form of goodness that they could ever encounter; happiness as what all we’ve been aiming for?
Well, in every corner of our society, we often see those who were deprived from the good life that we are all after. Clinging to the momentum of this world’s fantasy of breaking from the chains of agony. Behind this mindset of theirs, most especially of the children, it flutters my heart every time I can get a glimpse of their smiles just because finally they have something to eat for the first time in a day. Even for a short period of time, I felt their real happiness. Maybe a happiness that can only last for a very little while, but surely a happiness that is not concealed by a false desire. That in that state of theirs, as long as they can eat and thus survive in a day, they are already contented for that one moment in their lives. With this, I can truly say that there is really a big gap between how the two classes of the society – the proletariat and the burgeouise, perceives and approaches the reality, and thus how do they reach for the finality. For the higher class, their needs are not just something as a necessity for them instead it already became some kind of a drug that made them very addictive to have and to live with. That’s why I think people on higher capacity to possess are people who are most likely will never have the state of contentment for the rest of their lives. Because every time they set foot on a certain ground of their goals, they would much likely to go up higher, not considering if they were even stepping on someone else’s foot. They are in constant commitment on embracing the idea that the more you achieve, the more priviledged creature you are. But the thing is, does being priviledged is our only reason for our existence? Do we always have to prove that we can be of some highest form of authority? Nah. I don’t think so.
Some might say that the way we deal with our world’s system is all about survival of the fittest. If you’re not tough enough to discord with nature’s intent, you seem likely to have the slightest chance to survive. Yes, that’s why we work hard. That’s why we do all the most possible ways just for us to comply to what the society had been trying for us to do. But let’s not forget that the world is not the one who should define us. It’s our self who should define on what kind of terms should we live for. In this way, we can make our own accordance to what standards do we only want to set for ourselves. This is the kind of justice that ourselves would be worth having for; would be worth convicting for without anyone’s attempt for invalidation. And I think that if all people could just only have their minds set on how to flourish their state as a human being and use their reasoning for distinguishing between the false and genuine desires, people would seem likely to live in an equitable manner. It’s in my greatest pleasure to claim that being worthy to live as a human is not all about the material substances that we possess. It’s all about our overall state of organizing the material substances that we have in order for us to achieve our highest form – the goodness of our soul.
