Albert Einstein may not have always been right, but if there was one thing he should be highly credited for, it was when he said that insanity is when you do one thing over and over again and expect different results. Inherently, we all want some change and progress in our lives.
We all wish to grow exponentially, in all areas of our lives. Albeit all these wishes and expectations, the sad part is that we seem to be oblivious to the fact that good change is highly likely to happen only when we are also fundamentally changing our ways.
At most, this means foregoing the habits we have become emotionally addicted to.
A nation that wants to better itself in the basic spheres of its existence would first need to forgo political and emotional correctness for the blunt truth.
It needs to do a full and honest audit and assessment of everything that is wrong with it in order to self-correct and turn to uprightness.
People who continue to conveniently lie to themselves and others to avoid hurting feelings are not only deluding themselves but, even more, heading towards an ugly wreckage of self-destruction.
It would be fatal for any tree whose leaves and branches are withering to look at another tree for ideas while neglecting the status quo of its roots and the soil it stands on.
For any nation to completely go astray from and abandon its ancestral ways for an enslavement coated as civilisation is to commit a generational suicide.
The same goes for the people who lose their authenticity for glamour only to find
themselves in a spiral identity crisis. Sadly, in the advent of the greatest subversion of nations in the name of globalisation, many got caught with their third eye in deep sleep and sold their sovereignty for the aid they never needed.
Although it is undoubtedly shameful, and those who committed this generational treason look shameless, surprisingly, that may not be the case. The fact is that they are seriously invested in a reality they have not even orchestrated and obliviously are the worms destructively feeding on the bean they claim to save from dying. Status and prestige got them hoodwinked into thinking that the nonsensical conceptualisation of idiotic ideas nicely wrapped in sweet vocabulary has any meaning.
To think and believe that too many cow farts lead to global warming can be equated to thinking that changing diapers can stop a baby from defecating. Yet this is propagated by fully-grown adults with PhDs, even when a child in pre-school knows that if carbon were truly a problem, the ultimate solution is to plant more trees.
Needless to say, a sensible person would wonder why psychopathy in the “high echelons” would ever imagine itself to be demigods even when it is clear that creation is already
complete and everything is self-contained.
Sanity shall never result from the sewer of insanity the world is currently entrenched in, no matter how much “honky-dory” we exhibit in pretence.
In our foolish comfort, the joy and happiness are not only temporary but superficial. Cosmetically, all looks well until the infested fabric of society is finally decomposed, and its stench of filth becomes uninhabitable. Unless every nation intentionally and consciously self-corrects, the end of it all may be irreversible, and our children will have a heavy price to bear.
