Families

What are families but little dysfunctional blocks where children are constantly brainwashed with stupidities like religion and "social values"? Blocks where people's lives are controlled by others who are more "experienced" and "knowledgable" than them. The only reason this happens is because you let it happen. Parents always say they're more experienced, they tried a lot more, went to many more places, and dealt with many more people, which means they could probably give you all the experience and information that you need without you having to try anything on your own. But is that information timeless? Isn't it your right to try whatever you want and get your own experience out of it?

I think that females will be able to relate more to what I'm saying since they are the "objects" around which the "honour" of every family revolves. But no matter what "special case" your family has, or what excuse you give yourself to be able to sleep at night, the fact remains that almost all of us, males and females, come in contact with this everyday, and can do something about it.

What exactly gives your family any control over you? Just because two people gave you their genes and took care of you when you couldn't do it on your own doesn't give them any right to ruin your life, or change it as they see fit. Last time I checked nobody chose to be born, let alone born a slave. Who's fault is it if your parents can't breathe without you around, or can't go on without knowing every little detail about your life? It's theirs, not yours, and as far as I'm concerned it's extremely dumb to make it yours.

When are people going to start using their brains and realize that friends are better than families? It's because of all the nonsense being fed to us since we were kids about how family is always good, always there for you, and wants the best for you, that we think friends are disposable but family isn't. However, just imagine living your entire life with a friend that you chose and think of how your relation would be. Afterall, more than 99% of older people can't even begin to understand the fast-paced world we live in, let alone live it. So where's the fairness in limiting the lives of others just because you can't live it? Personally, I believe that's very selfish and quite pathetic.

One final thought to ponder upon: No self-respecting woman with a functional brain would ever allow her boyfriend or husband to control, threaten, or beat her. Why is it any different with your father, brother, or mother?

Purpose

One of the biggest problems humans face is purpose. You find yourself wondering why you're here, what you're supposed to do, and what's the purpose of your life.....Sometimes you can stare in the mirror for so long trying to comprehend the entity staring back at you until your face doesn't feel yours anymore, but still you get no answer. The concept of god makes answering these questions much easier, which is probably one of the reasons why people hold on to it. However, whatever reason is given to your existence by whatever god you worship is wrong. This becomes easier to see once you try to take a step back and look at the big picture. We are nothing but somewhat advanced creatures, living on a habitable planet, which is a part of a solar system, located on the edge of a galaxy, which is one of billions of other galaxies in the universe. There's nothing special about us but the fact that we want to be special so bad. Our hatred for loneliness led us to invent god, our hatred for the idea of death led us to invent the afterlife. But in the end that's all they are, human inventions....

Sadly, believing in this won't make your life easier, or more comprehensible. The only thing we can do, and the only purpose I see for us, as a species, is working together to move forward, to evolve. And if you're thinking: Why should I stop believing in something that makes me feel safe, happy, and comfortable, and replace it with doubt and loneliness? Then all I can say is what George Bernard Shaw said: "The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one.".....

Wasted Lives

It is beyond me how people can spend their entire lives doing nothing. How can you settle for being a regular person? How can your main goal in life be having a family, a good job, and some kids? I thought what distinguishes humans from other creatures is having a brain, being able to use logic, and the capability of acting according to reason not instinct.

It's very sad to see young people being brainwashed by religion and/or families. Being told what to think and how to think, what to do and why to do it.....

Let There Be God

1:1 - In the beginning the Big Bang created the heavens and the earth.
1:2 - And the earth was hot, and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep. Then Cyanobacteria began moving over the surface of the waters.
1:3 - Then 3.5 billion years later, man said: "Let there be God", and there was God.....
