No love for love
I hear the sound of them putting me away
The memorable lyrics of Club of the Sons‘ song entitled “Shop Rules” comes to mind when I think about the beings that surround me this day.
As a child you’re born into a world of the unknown. The natural instinct is to learn what things are and their works. You are constantly being controlled by others, because they know better. But once you get to the point in your life when it’s time to become an equal, an independant, your choices are being made from the information that was put into you. You are still that same child behind your new title “adult”. You go through the hard times in life, you walk through the easy street. You take advantage of the world that you know (your surroundings). You’re a bit more open to settling, and as you grow old you see things a bit better from your experience. But you’re still that child you were, and you’re still what you were/are taught and what you were/are around.
From my point of view, everything is fake. Everything is made with an expiring date already set. All our physical works break one day or the next. All the sentences we take as to live by, are never straight, they all depend on the situation. We only like them because we can partly relate. We see the great big system around our lives, but we’re too busy living our life, we ignore to think outside our knowledge. Alternative is rarely real, how do we not get tired of given plastic choices to make?
Compare any of the age groups to my point of view, and you get a conflict. Those that are around me seem to be held under by something. There is very little-to-none soul in everyday people and everyday life. I do love people at their core, but such love makes no sense to one under this odd spell. I’m being pushed back as a result.
Today, all I see are: Children, children who could have seen that bug when it happened. No love for love, I hear the sound of them putting me away.

Genuine care and love for people is not always accepted. But then we’re back to the “does a tree falling in a forest with no people make noise?” argument. Are we to give and love regardless of the impact?
Or are we to “make a difference”?

Perspective. The solution isn’t so simple, people are still stuck in their high school years and believe in something along the lines of “in-style” and “modern taste”.
Hard to connect with other souls. What a great distraction.
