A Lonesome World

This world is so lonely .......

So many norms
So many expectations

We live in such a suffocating world full of expectations..

Everyone "expects" who we are meant to be ...

We are meant to be a "proper" human living along with others with no particular biological, sociological, psychological abnormalities;

Should we err, falter, ... digress ... from any of the above areas

We are immediately labelled an eccentric, an outcast, a weirdo, .... a loser.

=========

Is anyone human at all in this capitalistic, hypocritical, superficial, frivolous world ?

Where are all the original thinkers? Anyone who wants to live their life in earnest?

Why does everyone seem to be so content in merging themselves into commanlity... banality ...
Things that have existed for ever in the past, for ever in the present, for ever in the future...
What joy is there in being so "normal" ? Being so ... I donno... "expectable" ?

I hate it .....

Everything is done ... to the extreme... for display in this world

What amazes me, saddens me, is hardly anything is done in earnest ... from the heart ...

It's all fakery ... how could you lie so much; I mean, how could you lie so much ...
If one thing symbolises humanity it is deception and lies.
Life just seems to be all about how well one can keep a straight face while deceiving inside ... in multiple levels.

My simple question is : What joy is in that ? Why ?

Of course, I don't expect anyone to answer that .... my guess, from the fact that everyone around me is involved in such doublethink ... is that they themselves do not realise they're just subject to the great machinery that is humanity ... they're all just parts, cogs of that machine... they don't really have control over it ....

I don't know... but it just seems all the more worse in the 21st century.

Humanity is in shambles... the codes of honour, ethics, religion and culture are disintegrating...;
Increasingly our world is becoming an artifice; a world with no essence yet full of displays; where money... possession means everything... well because it helps us with such displays;

Every aspect of human life are hypocritical in nature ... Marketing at the extreme... to of course Politics... Art, Academia, Society, Human Relationships ...

No one means anything in this world
No actions mean anything
No words mean anything

They're all just displays, utterly predictable displays ...
