why do people classify a life into generic stages? society impresses sameness upon all of its inhabitants regardless of sex, age, or race. we all have, in shakespeare's words %26quot;seven ages%26quot; or stages of life: infancy, childhood, adolescence, early adulthood, adulthood, middle age, and elderliness. from ignorance to ignorance with little in between. as the famous quote says %26quot;ignorance is bliss%26quot; many people would never apply such a term as ignorance to themselves, why that would be awful to call yourself ignorant wouldnt it? but so many people are ignorant despite their grades, schooling, or job title. from infancy ours parents are taught and shown how they should %26quot;properly%26quot; raise us. then we either accept or reject how they raised us, raising our ow children the same or the opposite of the way we were raised. traditions are then established and placed into action,%26quot;if you do not conform then you shall be reformed!%26quot; this is the way society handles its inhabitants. the contemporary artist is the closest to breaking this cycle. as they go through their schooling they are taught that they must first learn the rules so that they can break them.and this is the only way we can fix our world. our lives are not supposed to be ridged and directed by others, and the first step that you have to take is out of the box! now you are not supposed to question things %26quot;not i your power%26quot; but what is power? think of society as the box and that box is a battery that turns on a light. people in power are essentially an on/off switch that controls the life. now if everyone steps out of the box then the batery has no charge what so ever and the light bulb isnt lit. but now what you have is free energy that can be turned into anything or any action! however we are a people of routine. well actually the whole world is based around an almost perfect biological clock. from migration to the growth of all living things are based around the environment. if it becomes colder you change yourself or you move, a very simple logic. but no this simple logic is something that we humans find difficult to grasp. instead for us if it gets cold we build a fire, so instead of changing ourselves we change our surroundings. so if we arent directed by nature then why do we have routine? the most obvious answer is that routine provides structure which allows for the rise of a society. without which we would be a disjointed species living in small family groups. but still the question is not really answered, why do we get up each morning and work? or only eat at certain times? etc... now what if you were to try something new everyday? you would probably think you would run out of things to do. but if you kept with the trend it would leave you to have to come up with new things to do. this is what we like to call creative thinking and what it does is it gives people freedom. freedom to bring about change. your daily routine would change little by little each day keeping your mind fresh and more importantly enlightening you about the world you live in. no longer would you be drifting in your bubble, but you could become the you that is in touch with the world around you while maintaining the %26quot;you%26quot; that you spent most of your life finding.Agree or disagree?I agree.
We live in a complex world only because we have chosen to do so. Sometimes I feel like we are pushed in one direction like so many cattle, heading toward the slaughter. I find it strange that many people base their ideas of success based on current societal trends. And not on their own sense of success.Agree or disagree?a word of advice.. you might want to get the most important thing out of that and make it shorter. i'm too lazy to read all of that. i'm sorry but i think other people think the same way.
