I'm so sick of all this fake crap. Our nation thrives off of fake-ness. Things that aren't real are trending. For the most part I have cut myself off from fake stuff. I have mostly left social media, I no longer have friends that are fake, I stopped playing video games, and I stopped going to church.
Social media presence is selective, people aren't actually who they are online. My old friends were fake in that they had ulterior motives for seemingly everything. Video games are fake because the enjoyment comes from leaving our real lives and entering a manufactured one, I decided that I wanted to live my own life. I stopped going to church because I rarely met anyone in church who actually cared about people or bettering the world. Pastors are mostly in it for the money, power, and attention. Churches are basically built on the same platform as the business that we dislike for being greedy, except churches put on the face of being god-like which makes them even more fake. Talk about using the lords name in vain.
Politics are so obviously fake, but I didn't have to quit that because I was never really into it. I'm convinced that everyone in politics is corrupt, so I don't really want to support anyone. I'm only anti-government in that I have bad feelings towards it. I'm not politically intelligent enough to provide any sort of plan or argument against it, so I stay out of it. I guess it works.
I've quit fake-ness and that basically resulted in me quitting society. It sounds all great and freeing to not be attached to the society that is pretty obviously terrible, but it's not very fun. I'm bored, lonely, and depressed. We get our pleasure from all this fake stuff, and since I've cut myself off from it I'm left fairly miserable. I just don't want to waste my real-life doing things that aren't real. I wan't to indulge myself in real experiences only. I'm not sure if it's possible but I'm going to try.
