The idea of Friendship has changed for the worse these days.
The term more suited today for "making friends" would be none other than Networking.
In the background, this is all controlled by none other than,
Greed.
When people talk about the different relationships in life and how the whole thing works,
Often-times they would say we all find friends and partners in life for our own gain.
We find life partners because we are afraid of living our lives alone in the future.
Lonely? Look at it this way, we have the whole world to have, that would be one friend,
We could have everyone else in the whole world as a friend, thats close to 7 billion friends,
Unfortunately, most of the world gets rather picky with friends these days.
True enough we cannot get to know every single person in the world,
even then what rights do we really have to simply deny,
reject another person so easily off our friendship?
Some unknown others befriend more popular individuals in their own community or society,
to bring their own social status up to whatever standards they want,
Maybe get to know someone who manages a restaurant so they can get good service,
and why not throw in a huge discount, ah heck just make it a free meal!
How is it possible the manager decides to give a meal for free you ask?
Its not that he/she could not decide NOT to allow any of those perks to this one person,
Which is no one at all in particular if you're wondering.
It was just because this manager knew from the very beginning,
this one customer was a well known food critic who could move the culinary world,
and who knows maybe bring it down to its knees (exaggeratively speaking, of course),
and the manager ultimately didn't want to lose any customers just from one bad comment,
printed in the very one newspaper or magazine most read by the whole country!
Now, couldn't that manager have prepared long before,
be happy and contented with his effort of setting up the restaurant,
to put up a good front for all his would-be happy customers instead,
so that no matter what the critic says,
the manager's loyal customers would know otherwise?
Dishonest, devilish leaders of corporate companies, towns, cities, states, countries,
continents and all else who give more than needed bribes,
gifts and empty promises to their hirelings and helpers, so that they can get off from being guilty,
with no one and nothing to be proof of any wrong-doings they may have done.
Seriously, how can we allow these people to have control of the whole world, over us.
We owe this way of thinking to power hungry, greedy, scheming and selfish idiots,
who fortunately for them work themselves up far enough to have enough resources,
to start of their dastardly plans, slithering their way up to the farthest reaches,
of whatever godlike status anyone can think one human could achieve,
and unfortunately for the rest of us people who are under this nonsensical administration/governance,
we are somehow forcefully driven to follow under these footsteps that only lead to a rather dark future,
who make others work for them and they just sit back and enjoy the show.
The richer or more financially resourceful a person gets these days,
some thing, person, or place would obviously be on the losing side,
Most likely more forests would be wiped off, animals extinct,
seas and oceans 'sifted' clean, devoid of sea life,
We're basically wiping the earth spotless as we work towards more riches.
Well okay, maybe we'll leave our crap after we're done eh? Pollution.
So lets see, we scrape the ins and outs of the entire Earth,
turn it into money, drop of our waste wherever we want and... we're rich!
Let me correct that... We're rich and living in our own waste!
" Ah we have money we'll just build space ships and go to other planets,
look for more resources we can use to continue living.
What you say? Earth? We'll just leave it as it is and maybe clean up later. Nah~
Who cares! We're RICH!
Now who wants to ride with me on my spaceship when Earth end ups crumbling to pieces.
Wait! I can make them pay to tag along on my ship!
Seats goes to the highest bidder! "
Gosh, I really wish that we had more control over our own Greed.
Those who go against this wrong way of thinking lose out the most.
And to think people are saying the end of the world would be caused by natural disasters,
or from the wrath of some higher being. Or some other reason for that matter.
Oh wow, this means we're our own gods?
That we can control our own fate?
That we're eventually going to end our own lives by our own hands?
This sounds like a long term suicide plan for us all.
Didn't know we all agreed to it in the first place.
I personally don't want to kill myself this way, what about you?
