I swear...haha (refer to music listening thingy)

I re-read the script written to me in a previous entry...very well organized writing...He mentioned that religion likes to step in to answer the universal questions about the mystery of life.  For the record, I abhorr religion itself.  I'm more of a "believe what I see guy."  What I see is people giving up their human rights in hopes that somebody else will do the thinking for them.  My real question is, "Why would you want to stop thinking?"  So far I've noticed that humans have been led to believe that other humans such as politicians and religious leaders are in control.  Creativity gets suppressed when a living being is forced to live under circumstances that thier conscienses haven't invented.  Instinct is the only real natural power.  Instinct is what made life prosper on this planet.  When your insides tell you how to handle your life, you have the best chance at surviving.  A big uproar of the extinction of buffalo is going against nature.  Nature provided a beast that had so much food and clothing for man, but it did not give it the ability to save itself.  It was a slow, large and lumbering animal that had no way to defend itself.  Nature admits it's mistakes with extinction.  A cow should not survive in nature for the same reasons, but we have corraled this beast, and used laws to protect its existence.  In the interest of society, this move proves to provide food and clothing for many people.  My worry is that humans believe that we should dominate all nature.  A very frequent theme that we learned in literature classes is Man vs. Nature.  We are winning this war in one way...the human population continues to grow across the land.  But are we sacrificing a future, to live in the here and the now?  If so, nature created us, but had no plans for us to survive eternally.  That doesn't have to be a bad thing...but, I believe that the "powers that be" have robbed your present by convincing you that you needed a future.  If we are truly the greatest nation, all humans would want to be a part of it.  Why don't they?  Instead of ridiculing one nation or another, I propose that we use all of society's beliefs to form one common way of life that extends itself to our individuality while allowing us to help each other with our own ambitions.  Ambitions that came to us instinctively, and not ambitions that others have forced us to recognize.

Occasionally, I re-read my own posts to remind myself what I'm searching for.  After reading this one, I realize that different people have different ways of living.  I always realized that, but more importantly I want to share a couple of examples.  Some people scratch and claw for anything they need or want in life.  Some people feel doom and gloom.  Some people cruise through life.  Some are pushed right to the top.  
I personally love humanity, and I will do anything to help us be better.  I realize that my thoughts may never be realized until sometime down the road, after my death.  I don't care.  I want to live my life the way I'm gonna live it.  
Others may realize that things will be fucked up until after they're dead, and decide to just go with it.  I'm all for going with it.  The people that find that niche in this corrupt society, usually do so by doing whatever they are told is the right thing to do.  
What if everybody suddenly decided to act like themselves?  How many people would that hurt?  You know how many demons you may have, and others have more or less than you, obviously.  I think demons are created from oppression, no matter how light the oppression is.  How quickly does a dog taste freedom when he gets away from your house, fence, and leashes?  That's why it's so hard to get them back, until you train them.  
We are all trained slaves.  Slavery was abolished so the government could tax the slaves as well.  They didn't like the fact that some of their tax-payers were benefitting from the slavery.  They wanted to have all slaves created equal.  Tell my I'm wrong, and back it up...because not one of my beliefs was unaffected by all my fellow humans.  Who are you?  What parts of you came from nature vs nurture?
