We Could Be Great If Only...

If I had any actual followers of my blog then I’m sure they would want to hit me in no time. I don’t really have anyone that reads the blog constantly and so I am not sacred to go out and try to reach to people who will read this one post for a strange and unknown reason. Yes, I will again pretend I’m a know-it-all and try to fix humanity by writing about what is wrong with it. Only this time I will use help from a Nobel Prize winning author to back up my ideas. Saul bellow states it, not me, so if you want to punch someone it might be a good idea to remember that. “Of course, the hero of the poem is sick humanity. If it would open its eyes it would be great.” And guess what? I completely agree. It’s not hard to see all the major problems we have. We are selfish, egocentric, self important, materialistic, consumerists, unreliable, and incapable of self criticizing for the most part. There is some hope, though, not all is lost. As bellow states very wisely, if humanity woke up it could be a marvel instead of a misery. It might seem to the reader as I was going on in a self hate rant that was directed at the whole planet because of a bad thing that happened to me today or because of my hormones, but I am not. I try to say true things, and up to now I don’t see one argument that I have presented until now that can be challenged. The potential in people is an amazing trait that cannot be seen in anything else in the world that we know, and that is really saying something. I personally believe that if we used all our resources for better purposes and if we tried to improve as a society and not as independent individuals we could get a lot farther. I thought that when bellow put this in his book he was trying to let everyone know that we do have problems, and that fixing them does not take much: it is as simple as opening our eyes. I still try everyday to fix little things and help the effort, and it makes me very happy to see that may people do the same. I always have the hope that one day we will finally get to a pint where we have mastered team work and intelligence so that we can make the most out of our talents and make the world the best place it can be. So I’m done with this cry of help towards whoever wants to hear it. One day, hopefully, I will have no more of these weird messages because there will be no problems, won’t I? It can’t hurt to dream. :)
