Essay: Rationalizing the irrational

Seventy odd years of attention and monitoring accelerated, by no coincidence, around the birth of nuclear energy converted into weaponry to destroy the body's systems. Ancients described their encounters with celestial neighbors, and in our devolution this knowledge has been burned at the stake by a dementedly egotistical modernized world, entranced by it's own capabilities as though the world had never seen any such wonders before. The writings and illustrations of our heritage now long rejected and mocked, our determination to remain in sheer ignorance of others while marveling at the works of our own hands left us baffled and shaken at the focused attentions of neighbors forgotten. The relatively primitive minds of our world had found a new toy to impose themselves upon each other, a newly understood function destined to damage the balance of the environment and carry common hostilities to a darker place. The human failure was now at risk of removing itself from history while scorching it's own habitat in concurrence.

Man's airborne capabilities were rapidly progressing, and combined with new weaponry, humanity was now destined to carry it's burdens and self-hatred into the heavens. Atomic destruction and Nazi saucers entered a thickening plot as energies and ideas passed hands after another world war.

Yet organized governments were now taking notice that they had been noticed. When we were able to retrieve the wreckage of our own instability and fear, any occupants still alive were caged, bound, and brutalized via man's desire to get answers from something that dared to redefine his understanding of reality and history.

The deal was made behind the curtain. An empowered group of men were deceived swiftly. In the eyes of the watchers, you manipulate the manipulative first. Thousands of years of observation revealed man's pyramids of power, and the fallen nature of his own leadership. Deception was a means to stay ahead, and the terms of the deal intended to be split.

Lab rats are injected and sickened, animals skinned alive and beaten to death, and ecosystems destroyed with almost admirable consistency. There was no point in showing decency and "humanity" to the "inhumane." The self-contradicting irony of our own terminology was a mockery to sincerity. They were going to stay in control of their own program always, and we were to ride along with no ability to opt out as a whole. Our self-destruction was hurting everything it touched, and our bodies were beginning to show the signs within. We should never have ended up this way, but our consciousness failed to evolve with our machinery. The latter cannot progress ahead of the former without dire consequences.

Pain killers were to be as rare as answered questions. In their unsettled eyes, we have no privilege or right to the needles and treatments that would ease the trauma or have it vanish entirely. Losing memory of the experience was like a gift from Christ himself. Humanity was a rapidly developing mobile form of destruction. Too far, too fast... too much with too little oversight. We spread like a virus, an analogy deserved for an inconsistent nature. Every peaceful messenger sent to us was mocked, and their history and purpose raped within decades of their exits. Their identities were turned against each other through man's rewriting of history. We could not even accept a gift without soon destroying it's very meaning.

What was once a fear of social disintegration turned into a loss of innocence behind closed doors. One deal that failed to hold, and here we are today. Black eyes like magic that peer into the mind and soul, waiting for the subjects in focus to pull themselves together. There is no help from outside as our watchers are not gods. We pull ourselves together, or die perhaps not even trying. Human responsibility at times seems better understood by others.

this is a very good post,it sums up human nature pretty well.that the most power crazed and brutal inevitibly are the ones who gain the most power.

this is how i see it,that people are self interested,they consider only that which benifits themselves and those whom they assosciate with,thier cohorts.this leads to a world in which people are all vying against one another,all trying to gain the upper hand,the big bucks,the throne and ultimately the world as a whole suffers.there is no common good,the parts of the machine are all out of synch,the whole is not creating the sum.

what should be happening is each person acts in a way which causes the most benifit for the whole,so the parts of the machine work together and create something far greater than self interested behaviour could ever do.and as a result that which you would initially desire to benifit out of self interest you gain by the improvement of the whole.

the benifits you attain from working for the whole will outway the benifits you attain by working out of self interest.its just self interested actions seem so much easier,so much more rewarding in the short term.

history is just one big tribal cycle repeated over and over with ever more effeciant methods.

come together and we can create something truely glorious.
