Frustrations with Humanity
I’ve been fairly frustrated lately with how issues in life are dealt with (or not) by way too many people. When certain ideals, regulations, and such are passed by people, they can be removed by people. If something is instituted by a human being, another human being can destroy it. This seems to make sense to most people until we hit the establishment of law. It is almost as if we have elevated laws, often made by people who are now dead, to be above human reasoning or comprehension. Instead, we complicate things and decide that only certain people are capable of understanding, interpreting, or enacting specific laws.
While specialization is helpful, it is not necessary. Should I mention that the first American president had no prior political experience? His credentials consisted of leading an important front of the American army to victory.
I think that the downfall of any system of government is the raising of some individuals over others. Every person is equal. We are all of the species Homo sapiens. The American constitution tried to create a government that functioned solely to protect the rights of people. Whether that is the right to live or otherwise, this was a step that had never been taken before. Now, however, we live such a misconstrued version of what the original founders of America had envisioned. If you are totally pragmatic, you will understand that the entire world is a complete mess, and that’s putting it as lightly as I possibly can. America is part of that mess. Obviously something went wrong.
I could say that we should work with the current system and try to reverse what has been already done. However, I have to say: did we not get here through the current constitution? I have been saying this for a while now. We need to start anew, I believe. While too few people will initially agree with me, something has to change. The current system failed, quite miserably actually.
By the way, I am no anarchist. However, I would say that too little government is far superior to too much government. Remember, government has been established by human beings. Any human institution that is not recognized by humans, does not exist.
