To conquer the world, you must first conquer their hearts. Never by brute force, though, for the heart is the world; the beating heart of the human endeavor. Like the Sun is the heart of the solar system, our heart is at the core of all that which we stand for. We often use it as a representation of the soul because our heart is what allows us to function.
Our heart is the piece of the puzzle that fits anywhere on the board because it’s the board itself. Your heart is the soul of your vessel that moves your body through life so that you may experience what it’s like to exist.
Your heart is where your soul sleeps, and when your heart wakes up, so will your spirit. And then, only then, will you accomplish whatever it is you desire in this life, and you will make it happen.
Too many people refuse to acknowledge their human existence. It’s almost as if the technology that we indulge ourselves in today has stolen our identity as human beings. And not to say that that technology is bad, but humanity, I feel is better—can be better.
We are falling into an uncomfortable reality, where it’s becoming less and less relatable between individuals. Too many opinions are clashing, going head-to-head for dominance over each other, like wild groups of pack animals.
The truth is that things that don’t matter seem to matter more now than things that should matter, but don’t. Things that center themselves around greed and self-interest, and superiority—the only positive outcome is becoming better off than others. However, status itself is an illusion.
These constructed barriers of society themselves are of the same illusory type, where you’re told that the constructs of modern society are forbidden to be changed or altered or even challenged, when really, they’re being changed every day by the same individuals who have handpicked themselves to govern us; the majority. We’re human beings just like they are. It’s not an uncommon occurrence for human beings to govern other human beings, as has been the way since the dawn of human history. By allowing ourselves to be governed, though, we lose the drive to govern ourselves.
And to think that there’s so much hate in human society at this moment. Many of the individuals we believe that we should hate, we’ve never even met before, and others we know nothing about. Instead of asking an individual their views, personally, we tend to judge them based on our own personal views. I will tell you now that a mentality as such will never survive in the future that lies before our feet.
I truly do not understand how we’ve come to such a tumultuous time, where thoughts, ideas, and ideologies govern our everyday lives to a point of separation from those who may serve contrasting views. In such a diverse world, with each and every person sharing just one commonality; uniqueness in their own right—We have chosen instead to align ourselves with conforming to ideas that may not necessarily and fully complete our entirety as a human being of individuality.
When people think of individuality versus collectivism, it’s often forgotten that to form a collective, a group of individuals, often with conflicting views and ideas, are meant to form concepts that lie within the same, universal circle. Without our individuality, there can be no individual that forms the collective thought. All there will be is a collective forming itself by using and abusing the individuals that give life to it.
Our Solar system doesn’t contain eight Earths that orbit around another Earth. It contains one Earth, several other individual planets, and a Sun. And of course, many individual moons that belong to the different planets, and many smaller space rocks that lie in between. Project the concept of human society and you will obtain the concept of a Societal System. Our Society is the Sun, and we are the celestial bodies that orbit around it. However, it seems that we’re beginning to fall out of orbit and collide with one another.
It really pains me to see this, as I’m just an ordinary individual like those reading this essay. To view society as a collective, you must take note of the individuals that form the collective. When you do that, you lose sight of the big picture collective and begin grouping and labeling people based on their individual characteristics.
By dividing the collective of human society, we’re in fact creating more individual collectives that are smaller and more defined. When doing this, however, the interests of the group become smaller, less effective on a wide scale, and are only important to those that fit within the limited requirements of the newly formed collective, like a cult. All of it is irrelevant when looking at the larger picture, but to do that we must begin with the smallest dividing factor of what makes Society all that it is. And that will always begin with the human being.
