Struggling with hope and hopelessness is every day for me.
Is it because my brain chemistry is messed up, or is it because our social chemistry is messed up?
Is it because human nature is hopeless, or is it because this isn't how we're meant to live?
How do I change it? How do I make it through today, and tomorrow, and the next day, in this backwards world, backwards mind?
How do I live a year, a decade, a lifetime, in a world dominated by mind as machine, for the promise of a few inconsequential material rewards between the hopelessness, the monotony, the disconnectedness?
Am I the only one who sees how messed up we are? How strange it is we live and move through systems which disconnect us, dehumanize us?
If I am a product why am I here? Why conscious?
If I am a producer, why? For the purpose of keeping a cycle of product and producer? Why am I conscious?
A machine needs not the ability to question why, so why are we treated like machines when we are so much more?
What is the point of living as a machine, when I am not one?
And if I am only machine, why am I alive?
Is it only by default? Is it because I am in a momentum of being alive and I would need to exert opposite force to halt that momentum?
Yet, momentum cannot be destroyed, only transferred...
Why does it hurt so much just to know I will have to wake up tomorrow in this same world? How do I change it? Is it possible to change? How do I keep hope on the way through?
