Words and other inconceivable concepts

Words have never felt so infinitesimal. Words have never felt so useless. Words have never been a less outrageous concept, a less insane mode of expression or communication. Words fail us. They betray us They cause anarchy and feelings we never wanted or needed to be subjected to. Words are what rips away our souls and throws them on the ground to be trod on in the rain.

And yet words are what make us feel. Words are what create a landscape, a feeling, an environment.

And words are what moved me to write this post.

When did we become so complacent with this society? When did we become okay with the idea that its the norm to oppress others? When did it become okay to judge and exclude others based on their gender, skin colour, sexual preferences or even their taste in music or how they decide to spend their time? When did we decide to glorify those who have instead of those who don't? Why do we glorify the term "victim" instead of "survivor"?

When did humanity become so fucked up that we had the ideas of rape, murder, oppression and degradation? When did we become complacent with ridicule? Who decides what cases become glorified and which cases fall by the wayside, never to be heard of again?

Why do we ignore the cries for help that are so blatantly obvious in someone's silence?

When did it become the norm that half the people we come across have been abused? When did it become an abnormality that we have roofs over our heads? When did being nice and kind and good become a rarity? When did we become so individualistic that we have these meaningless conversations that have no point in the larger scheme of things? Surely life has to amount to something more than pain, inhumanity, uncertainty and pointlessness?

Words fail in expressing any true, real, raw feeling. In this case, the disgust I feel for the human race is more than I can express with my limited vocabulary. I know there are good people in the world. The problem is they get pushed aside for caring in this materialistic individual world. And this needs to change.
