today i come to realise that the world has been in a silly state for such a long time.
we, some apathetic citizens have been so driven by material gains and the capitalist society that we’ve all lost our true self.
because from birth till now, what i’ve experienced and seen, interacting with social elites, i realised everyday is just a struggle between different people.
we compete for territories, money, grades, awards, reputation, fame, titles, for what?
the only reason why im glad that i took sociology is because the module thought me that most of the things in life are socially constructed, which includes the factors i’ve listed above.
and now u see, after deconstructing this whole ideology and taking away the socially constructed part, i realised that all the factors are meaningless and worthless.
today is results day! and to me, the grades reflected in the system that flash across my eyes are just alphabets. A, B, C to me are like the first few things my parents taught me when i was a little kid. I feel this way because what we do, what we are fighting hard for now is simply happiness.
We want more land, so that we can exploit it to earn more money.
With money, we can buy more of our wants which creates demand for the capitalist society.
So, individuals are happy and corporations are happy too!
and as a matter of fact, the underlying result that we want to achieve isn’t it happiness?
to me it is. very true.
People always say they want to be happy, they want to live life to the fullest.
and when things don’t go their way, they forgot all about what they’ve said.
it is amusing yet hard to control because we are humans. we are built that way.
so ain’t life easy and simple?
happiness is what we ultimately need and want. and the best thing about happiness is that it’s not socially constructed but self defined. That’s why it isn’t that hard at all.
Just expect lesser and enjoy the simplest of life.
Be contented with what you have now.
Be happy cause you’re alive and kicking at this moment
and
be grateful to know what happiness truly means to you.
daz.
goodnight loves!
