People… We live in the world with billions of people around us. Some unimaginably tiny per cent of those billions is somehow related to our lives: the biggest amount of this diminutive per cent of billions involves beloved ones like family, relatives, friends, colleagues, schoolmates etc. However, have you ever noticed other people around you? I mean, of course, yes, but have you ever in your life remembered how the certain complete stranger looks or moves? Have you ever REALLY noticed people, with no matter whether it is the Queen of England, Johnny Depp, your neighbor, the person sitting near you in the bus or homeless? Let’s at least be honest with ourselves right in the moment: the answer is certainly no, because… because no one of us really cares.
Nowadays, people are entirely busy by burying into the mud of their own lives, so there is always no time or power, or wish to turn around and open absolutely new world of society. I personally do not believe in society as such. There is a term used in politics or sociology. The wikipedia tells us: “A society, or a human society, is a group of people involved with each other through persistent relations, or a large social grouping sharing the same geographical or social territory, subject to the same political authority and dominant cultural expectations. Human societies are characterized by patterns of relationships (social relations) between individuals who share a distinctive culture and institutions; a given society may be described as the sum total of such relationships among its constituent members.” But there are NO patterns of relationships, there are NO persistent relations. Each person is fully immersed in shall of his/her own representation and conception of the world with some own-made pink dreams and expectations of it, having each scratch of this shell fulfilled with demands, complaints, niggles and those masterfully hidden with justification, apology, excuse. And the sophistictaed background is left inperceptible by billions of those deadly shalls forming “society” all together. That’s how I see it. Or maybe the problem is not in you? What if you have already opened the door of your heart and now wating for crowds of new visitors, who are just about to cram into it? What if people are bad, not you?
Let’s start the process from the beginning. One person meets another. The first thing we all do is looking into the deep gaze of our stranger’s eyes, because the eyes are reflection of the soul; then we drop our sight on the smile of the stranger, because the smile is reflection of the heart; and afterwards we observe the way the stranger speaks, because the speech is reflection of the mind *(Hard not to mention, that mostly developed countries such as Western Europe and continent of North America also resort to a need to focus their attention on clothes and property of the stranger during the first meeting, because of idea of wealth and slight possible chance to grab a little piece of it at the right moment. And I think for all of them, sorry, US, for all of us, it is the most important and prevailing area of current interest, unfortunately). And here it comes – the decision – kind of golden scales, which in its turn has the greatest function: to weight how much the stranger’s representation of the world fits in our own and whether there could be our dominance and benefit in a new relationship. Afterwards, we accept the person or deny it. As an argument in our own heads we, ourselves, automatically separate and assert each of the newcomer as “good” or “bad” person. And, here is hidden the hugest failure of humanity and its’ stupidest invention of all times – morality.
“The truth is that there are no good men, or bad men. It is the deeds that have goodness or badness in them. There are good deeds, and bad deeds. Men are just men – it is what they do, or refuse to do, that links them to good or evil. …” – I read it once and kept in my eternal locker of soul forever. Those words were written by Gregory David Roberts, but I insist on: they, those words, have to be learned in schools by kids, by small representative of our future and future of the humanity as a whole. But! The idea I want to clarify is not restricted only by those majestic lines. Try to follow: there are no good or bad men, because we are all made by the same nature => there are our deeds which we confirm or reject in doing, which lead us to the good or evil => but what’s done that’s done. Each word, move, thought, gesture, emotion, action, happened a second, a millisecond ago is left irretrievably in PAST for ever and ever. And as soon as it gets in this abandoned but always full area of PAST it looses its value instantly. Doesn’t matter what you have done, said, thought about literally a seconds ago, it is already over, it has no worth and no sence, and no connection with the PRESENT moment. But here it comes again – one more failure of the humanity, one more self-imposed and self-made wrong concept that we, allegedly, should reffer to the past and even honor and esteem it (what a horribly made nonsence!) and thereby reffer to all the bad moments, and carry its burden of negative on and on, and on, letting the inner fire to flare up and eventually incenerate our soul, and lately, heart. So, don’t be surprised meeting emptyness in eyes and narrow-mindedness, cruelity, obduracy, egoism and finally torpor face to face on the streets, because we are the one who welcomed it heartilly by adhering and stiking to all those faithless regulations without even giving a tiny little try to sort all the things out and maybe nay preventing them. But we prefer living in happy ignorence. Ignorance… This is what wholly and absolutely has swallowed the mankind
