AFTERNOON THOUGHTS

We are individuals and a huge society, living in the world as one. In order to gain what all humans wanted; welfare, love, security, physical needs, we make rules, routines, and system. There are countries in our world, each with its uniqueness and rules the citizens must obey. But there are also international laws and rules our society must follow. 

As a child we go to school for education, and use the knowledge we get from school to look for a job and work. Some of us become doctors, architects, lawyers, and even artists, actors, writers. Some of those people love their job and do it wholeheartedly while some others feel like they have no choice but they do it anyway because of the economy, or they were forced to work as what they are now for some reason. Some choose to 'break the rules' by being corruptors, anarchists, terrorists, but they came from the same society and thus following the same cycle still. And then some of our people rent an apartment or buy a house for themselves, get married, make love, have kids, and teach the kids to do the same thing all over again. It has been our cycle of life for many years. You and I may be different as individuals, but we are following the same tradition and the same system because we live in the same world and we live as a society. 

We are individuals, born and raised in family. From this small, or huge group of people we learn how to feel and how to communicate. We learn that we must look after one and another and we live as one. We learn about how important it is to have other folks with us. When one of us pass away, we mourn, and when a new individual join our group of family, we would welcome him/her and help him/her understand what we've learned in this family. 

But then I came to think about what it feels like if some of us never know that there are other families, other races and other countries out there. They live in a completely remote or abandoned area where they never see technologies or follow our daily activities like going to school or work, buy some groceries at the end of the week, go out with some friends, watch TV, use the internet. They do not have a government, they have their own definition of peace and welfare. They do not use money nor do they know rules of economics. They think like we do. They only know love and hate, and survival. 

And what if some of us decide to make their own rules? They decided to isolate themselves from the society, being carefree of what is going on in our world. 

Are they simply weird because they are not following our system, because they are different? 

We live in the same reality, and yet each of us have the gift to develop that reality. We have creativity and will. We have the power to create. 

So why follow the same old routine? Should we try something new, something that none of our ancestors have ever think of? A modern society that lives in a renewed realm, but still the same earth? What if we create a new story on the world, a story that opens a new possibility on our life? 

Is that even possible?
