Human Nature
What drives man to allow his own existence to wallow in deprivation and disgrace? Such a situation seems to grind against the very nature of our understanding of the human mind, to see such a vast number of people existing in such a state of depravity that we see continually occurring in ever increasing frequency in the world of 2010. For does not each individual naturally seek out for himself a state of comfort and prosperity? Yet, indeed, in the modern world there exists, more than ever before, the masses of these who live and sleep in filth, destitution, disgrace and humiliation. “Why?”, is the question that would naturally come to the mind of most reasonable, god-fearing western individuals. And a worthy inquiry this question is: for why would one allow such conditions for oneself when opportunity exists boundlessly available to them in a sea of endless space-time possibilities? Here in this paper I seek to empirically and inductively demonstrate to all readers that not only is this disease of poverty and destitution a completely self-induced and internal psychological disease, but also that the disease cannot be possibly cured when the inflicted are unwilling to obstruct their own consumption of the poisonous bodies that cause their debilitation.
Firstly, let us examine the case of american homelessness. Surely, this example is nothing short of a prime case-study that represents the very definition of: ‘individuals that are undoubtedly responsible for consuming the poisons that reduce them to such a state’. For what other explanation could reasonably exist? I explain: Weak-willed individuals on the left side of the political strata have developed a tendency to claim that such cases of illness are a result of environmental factors; or, that is to also say: that the society itself at large has incubated this disease and imparted it somehow to within the being of the afflicted. Yet, the briefest observation renders this argument null; for it is not being considered, by these in the left, that within this very environment which is allegedly the cause and source of these individual’s disease, there exists simultaneously all resources that would be required to cure oneself of homelessness: private, ecclesiastical, and governmental soup-kitchens, rest-shelters, job allocation assistance organizations, half-way houses and unemployment centers exist in mass; in fact, to the extent where the biggest limitation on their expansion is not the number of volunteers or availability of physical resources, but instead the lack of funding for management staff. Thusly, with such the existence and preeminence of these resources, we can definitively assert that anyone with the will to cure themselves of the american strain of homelessness is most able to do so. Therefore, we can also definitively assert that these individuals who have contracted homelessness are, in fact, selectively, and by their own will, partaking of the ‘social-substance’ that carries the sickness. If I may make an analogy to demonstrate: A man drinking a can of toxic pain is most likely aware in some way, shape or form, that the substance he is consuming is definitely detrimental to the health of his body; yet, he continues to consume the substance regardless. I consider this analogy parallel and relevant to our social calamity of homelessness. And as is made apparent in this analogy, the true disorder at the heart of this tragedy is not the detrimental effects of poison paint in the body, but rather, the detrimental effects of the individual’s mind itself.
Now, for our second example, let us expand our observation of society further; to examine a larger, if less infected on an individual basis, class of individuals who carry within them the taint of this virulent septic. With these words I am referring, of course, to the economically destitute within our own societies. The check-to-check debtors who can afford no longer to remain productive or valuable members of the culture. This is an especially appropriate group of the diseased to bring to the fore; in light of the previous two years prior to my writing on this day of October 2, 2010, that have each seen rise to an increasing spread of this infection. Within that claim, I am of course referring to the 2008 economic recession that has been rightly said to plague the western world. Upon an examination of this social development, we can again see the critical misunderstanding of society within the words used to express and define the “economic recession”. As within this statement we see again the assumption that “the economy” is somehow the source of our woes. Yet, a simple observation will reveal to us that “the economy” is actually composed of a vast number of individuals, and is not rather some external prevailing force or entity. And, as we have proven in the previous example, it can be definitively asserted that each of these individuals suffering from “the economy” are each in actuality another case-in-point example of a man with a mental-disorder drinking toxic paint.
Let’s take a closer examination at that last point, continuing to hold our attention on the specific case of the evolving breed of the western economically destitute. These individuals seem to be exhibiting a primitive form of the homelessness infection, but one that has not yet come to fruition. (Of course the implications of such an observation are horrifying, yet for the sake of literary consistency I am bound to withhold myself from expounding into this tangent at the moment.) Therefore, being less sickly and less infected, one would assume that these individuals would have a relatively easier experience of making themselves well than do the homeless. In a highly integrated world, there exist investment opportunities like never before: stocks, bonds, hedge funds, foreign investments, developing market investments, commodity options trading and the like. One could expect an average capitalist with a sound and reasonable mind to possess the ability to utilize his or her resources effectively to provide himself or herself with prosperity. Yet unfortunately, with your average unemployed American remaining unemployed for eight month stretches and counting, this is definitely not the case. Again, here we have a classification of individuals who are choosing to inflict upon themselves destitution and fiscal instability.
Lastly, let us travel our attentions to the far reaches of this spectrum of disease and disorder; and take a close examination of one of the world’s most extreme cases of the unnamed disease of which we have been discussing. I am referring here to the country of Sudan. Which, for many years, has been featuring intensely dramatic and unappetizingly stark cases of the disease; which, shockingly; has become a full-fledged epidemic. Sudan is a place where every man, woman and child (save for a miraculously fortunate 1% elite) is infected to extremes. And within the infected population, let us observe the similarities between the expressed symptoms that are existing in all such case studies of the disorder: Within the boarders of their own nation, the Sudanese have effectively been able to organize and mobilize the militarized Janjaweed syndicate. So while an illusion of unwillingness may persist in the minds of the social idealist, it does not take much reflection to conclude the simple fact that a large group of men with mechanical weaponry, who are collectively willing to operate outside any state or foreign law, are perhaps the most able organization that can possibly exists at fulfilling the intention to gain prosperity for oneself. Why, then, you might ask, would the Janjaweed, once organized, not aquire prosperity through some sort of conquest? Why would people willingly starve to death rather than to face their personal responsibility to generate profit? This is the question that we can expect to be asked by most any sane and reasonable god-fearing american citizen.
Unfortunately, my friends, I do not have an answer for you. As, taken at the expense of the very security of the prosperity of the western world, leftists and liberals are drawn like moths to the bulb with cases like Sudan; where, due to the extensiveness of the severity, an illusion can be more effectively constructed to support their argument (this being, as I have previously explained, that outside social sources are the cause of destitution, and that the individuals themselves are not personally to be held accountable for their condition.) The research into this disease has not been financed, and our understanding at this point in time is extremely limited. In addition to this grim sentiment, I must, to my chagrin, inform you that the likelihood of any considerable funding being granted to the nation’s scientific industry for expressly this function is doubtful. For debate and speculation, on behalf of the delusional political left, will continue to stall and mire any progress that might be made as a society towards grasping the actuality of our dire situation in completeness. Yet, let me to assure you, that this insanity, this self-destructiveness, this gaping lack of self-interest, has provided to us already with evidence in plenty towards the inevitable conclusion: that the contagious capability of the disease contains within it the possibility of the complete and utter destruction of human society as a whole.
Although this faraway place called Sudan and its people might at first seem insignificant, I usher a warning to you: Sudan is an ominous example of the horrifying potential worst-case scenario: where the disease might potentially break out into an unstoppable epidemic catastrophe within Europe or America. I understand the devastating nature of this realization; and I would not leave you without parting words of hope and wisdom. For there exists a solution to our calamity: we, as the remaining sane human beings in society, have no choice but to act immediately with unwavering force and precise deliberation. Poverty must be exterminated. Continuing from this point, the question must be asked: But how are we to eliminate 80% of the world’s population? A simple, if extensive, solution becomes apparent: We must utilize a systematic process of exterminating all trace of the toxic septic disorder, for the sake of preserving what prosperity we have left. The most effective methods of such a procedure have been proven already to be starvation and poisonous gas. Certainly both will be required to be utilized. We have no choice but to organize ourselves and unite! Poverty must be exterminated! We have no choice but to absolutely eradicate every last trace of the scourge; down to every last instance of affliction. All infected individuals must be removed from the world and completely disintegrated. No matter what the cost. This could be our only hope for survival.
