I think that we are at our weakest when we are asleep because when we are asleep we are unconscious. We’re unaware of our surroundings and we could easily be captured, injured or even worse killed. This confuses me deeply, natural selection favors the organism with the best characteristics to thrive, hunt and reproduce in the case of our ancestors. Therefore as to why we haven’t evolved to survive off less sleep is bewildering to me. We are least productive whilst asleep, we could be gathering wood, hunting animals or wooing cave-women. But alas, no us Humans have evolved to spend 8 hours a day lying on our back doing literally, not figuratively, nothing.
If you haven’t read between the lines yet, I hate sleep. I think I despise sleep because it epitomizes human laziness.
Ask yourselves, who are you if you don’t learn, feel, touch or think? We were thrown into this world unwillingly and rather than spending the finite time we have left discovering the complexity and beauty of this planet, we waste on average 8 hours a day sleeping! Hypothesize with me for a moment, imagine a God chucked us into this world, and then imagine how infuriated and pissed off herm would be to find out that you are wasting nearly half your day doing nothing, essentially sticking two fingers at herms gift of life.
The general elections are 10 days away and the top 5 contenders are all scrambling, trying to use the internet as their tool in spreading their propaganda. But dear readers please do not be fooled by any of them. However often they may argue about certain topics and although their manifestos all prioritize different aspects of society, they can only be described as, different sides of the same coin. They are all power hungry, they have all been funded by individuals and companies and therefore very biased towards them. Don’t be brainwashed by the recent ITV programs, feebly marketed as a ‘debate’ where Cameron and Milliband can show off their skills of rhetoric to an extremely large audience, to try and win your vote. They are like male peacocks they flash their feathers, dazzle the audience, they give you a short glimpse of hope for a fairer more socially just future. But alas this capitalist society we live in, unintentionally nurtures power hungry men who have no sense of responsibility and constantly yearn for more money.
I only ask for one thing of you 50 odd viewers. Imagine you are the victim of this unjust world as you are most likely currently benefiting from this society. Strive to create and to be part of a world where, if unborn babies could choose their families, no matter what family the baby chose s/he would be able to have the same; opportunities, the same education and the same quality of life, so that ultimately the baby’s choice actually isn’t important, as essentially every family whatever the race religion or history are all the same.
P.s sorry for the long blog post, I have a lot going through my mind and putting some of these thoughts on to paper help me stay sane.
