Self-Imposed Segregation

Ok, one more post. In the next blog, you're going to be introduced to the idea of Self-Imposed Segregation, or SIS. I just wanted to clarify something before I got any responses. This is not a new idea, and it is prevalent already in our society. In fact, in almost every American city, there are pockets of SIS everywhere. Little Saigon, Little Italy, Chinatown, Koreatown, the Barrio, the South/North/East/West side. And this is true all over the world. Within the larger population are areas of SIS.

The concept of sharing a common space with people of like temperament, beliefs, ideals, and cultural heritage goes back to man's earliest stages. We are tribal by nature, and no amount of technology can replace that. Although I would argue that it is certainly putting up a good fight. The problem comes when one tribe thinks that it is better than a neighboring tribe and all hell breaks loose.

It is, after all, a logistical impossibility. You cannot cordon off certain areas and make them available to a certain group of people. How much is space is enough? What about growth within the community? Where does it go if there's no more room? As they are now, the lines become blurred and eventually cultures and differing perceptions collide. This phenomenon has played out countless times throughout history from neighborhood spats to world wars.

Mankind has never been able to collectively figure out that issues are never settled when the solution is not about what's right, but rather about who's right. I guarantee that there is a pretty simple answer to every convoluted issue the human race is facing.

And I have the answer.

Time to grow the fuck up and become the adults in the room. It's time to get the fuck over ourselves and realize that since we are here, we have the right to be here. No one is on this planet by mistake. We really had no other choice. So here we all are, acting like two year olds while being spoon-fed buckets of shit everyday. We have to stop should-ing on each other and just mind our own damn business.

The human race is a freakin mess and the stupidest thing about it is that it doesn't have to be this way. It could be the way I'm ranting on about. We can change it. Hell, we could do it virtually overnight if everyone would just get onboard. That's the most frustrating part for me. We don't have to live the way we do, but we won't change it. We'll keep putting the kids on drugs while telling them not to do drugs. We'll keep helping ourselves to the mood enhancers/penis en lagers/migraine pills/plastic surgeries/gym memberships/big houses/foreign cars/ or whatever other addictions you have to mask how miserable you are being a human being. We may have the thumbs, but that doesn't make us smarter. It just makes us more obnoxious.

Enough for tonight. It's nearly 4 am and my hands are done. Please feel free to add you $1.25 ideas and comments.
