Many people have written about what has been known as “the human condition.” Humanity is riddled with struggles and plenty of faults. It has become its own worst enemy and continues to tear itself apart with no hope in sight.
To deal with problems, we wage war both physical and verbal, enforcing our will upon others. Many conflicts cover the pages of human history, all to enforce one’s will onto another. People verbally attack (sometimes physically) others, never accepting a difference of opinion. Wars continue to rage today due to nations wanting to enforce their will upon another group or nation.
“If you don’t agree with me, then you are wrong and need to change your opinion or there will be consequences.”
We are definitely in a war here today in this country and honestly, in this world also. There is a strong divide, and both sides have “weaponized” morality and are constantly attacking, degrading, and festering a climate of hatred. Right and wrong has migrated into a hazy grey that leaves morality as an abstract concept.
We find ourselves lost in a forest with a broken moral compass; unsure of which direction to go. Do we look to our nation’s leaders for direction? Can we find morality within the walls of religion and the church? Maybe morality resides somewhere deep within our soul, and it looks different for each of us. It could be that there is no morality or ethics. Do we exist in anarchy and create this concept to maintain order in an otherwise chaotic world?
I know, I know… so many questions and but no answers. Yet, that is where we must start. One must recognize and properly address these questions before answers can be found. Society has locked us into a mindset and tell us how to think and to not question. Our minds are not free to think and explore as we believe them to be. Instead, our minds are trained and conditioned to think a particular way that is a form of control over the mind. Many who realize that we can be controlled this way, exploit it and take control of how we live our lives.
The time has come to rise up against this way of thinking and challenge the disease that creates this seemingly hopeless human condition. It is an insurrection of the mind, if you will. We must address the disease and then work to cure it, for it cannot be cured without fully understanding how it controls us.
The intent of this blog is to diagnose the human condition and find a “cure” in order to live our best life in this confusing, chaotic and controlling world. I am not asking you to agree with me or like what I have to say. All I ask is that you raise the questions to yourself and not accept everything you have been taught at face value. Explore deep within yourself! It is time for an insurrection, rising up against the fabricated principles that are enslaving our conditioned minds.
The insurrection of the mind.
