Developer Diary 6

I integrated Begtse yesterday (Fire Dharmapala), but this is not why I'm writing this post. I spent the night reading the news, browsing facebook, reading comments. I felt this surge of rage inside of me.

Nothing in our culture makes sense:

I am supposed to get mad at refugees and immigrants? People who have lost everything instead of the ones who hide their money away on the cayman islands?

I am supposed to admire celebreties and Hollywood, producers and directors, who need proof of their existence by the amount of followers on their social media site, their name on IMDB so they know they exist?

I am supposed to get jealous, compete with friends on social media platforms, so that I can too rise to become a first grade consumer and piss my money away by buying the newest, most awesome, coolest ....

I am supposed to enjoy videos of animals getting ripped apart? Laugh at comments that suggest to "Call PETA to save animals from themselves" while eating chicken McNuggets and click on the next flashy buzzfeed article while the grease is dripping from my fingers?

I am supposed to constantly be in a relationship, at best married with children, or if I don't have or want any of these things be terribly ashamed of myself?

I am supposed to believe in manipulated studies, that have faked peer reviews, more often than not no true scientific basis whatsoever and at the same time let go of all my spirituality because it's "not real"?

I am supposed to find values in pride, accomplishment, appearance, money, status, follower numbers, sales numbers, awards, a job, a position and at the same time find no value in compassion, love, selflessness, serenity, nature and generosity?

There is no forest far enough, no ocean deep enough to get away from this society. If you believe in any of this, act in full awareness of the damage that you do to your environment and vote for people who support this way of life, then you have failed at the only thing a human being is capable of exceeding in.
