Thoughts on society

Thoughts come to me sometimes, I mull over entire arguments in my head complete with evidence to back up my claims, yet if i come to debate it with someone, I’m often misunderstood, or they are just ignorant. I’ve come to the conclusion that our society is utterly fucked. For a starting point, we let people rule the country, even without a majority vote. Once the elections over, it’s all down to the inner circle of politics to decided the consolidation of power. They have no physical right to be in charge. They are not so special just because they can manipulate a lie into politics. Their higher education and experience in parliament does not qualify them to rule the masses of people. Real people, most of whom are ignorant to how the system even works. In all seriousness, how do we know for sure? For the most of our knowledge there could be a massive secret being held. We could be ruled by aliens. Theres no evidence to surpass it. 

Shallowness, Vanity, Conceitedness. Its all over-rated. The search for ‘inner-beauty’ is ridiculous. There is a reason we look the way we look, and we have animal instincts which make us attracted to certain things, and we shouldn’t be ashamed of it. We should be allowed to value beauty without condemning it for being ‘shallow’ We can’t judge people on personality alone, it’s boring! People who brag that they fall in love with a person’s personality as opposed to their looks are liars. Just because someone is lucky enough to be born beautiful doesn’t make them shallow, and they should not be punished for it. Dress sense, music and personality are all interlinked. Anyone can be beautiful, its about how to present and maintain yourself. It’s all down to personal preference. We all have different perspectives on everything, why should beauty be any different? We should embrace beauty, and not be ashamed to admit confidence without being put down, creating the opposite effect! Is that really what it’s coming to?

Youth Culture is also fucked. It’s said that youth is wasted on the young, but would you have it any other way? The whole point of being young is being reckless. According to the media, children are growing up too soon, and getting into the dangerous habit of binge drinking, smoking ect. The government seem to believe that this can be resolved through education and prohibition; raising the age of consent will fix this problem. Not only are they wrong, they are stupid. Raising the age to buy alcohol and cigarettes will not stop the youth. Education is a good idea because it provides knowledge about the choices, and helps them make a better informed decision, but it should not be done in the patronising and stereotypical way it is now, and even then i doubt it will change much. People seem to think we drink for a depressing subconscious reason- perhaps due to the political side of things - or out of boredom. This is mostly false. We don’t do it to spite you, we do it for fun. If it was more acceptable to be done earlier on you would have done it too. The reason for drinking is the same as adults, and alcohol will always be a big part of the lifestyle; it is addictive after all. Until the masses learn to accept this and educate for the sake of education as opposed to protection, the gradually less corruptive our society will become.
