Anti-civilization At It's Finest

The world that we live in today; well more or less Western civilization as we know it; has stood with the same values since the beginning of our "democracy". We have political scandals; "truths" which is different than honesty; armed branches of government that probably should not have a need to be armed (i.e. IRS, FDA, et al.); corruption at all levels of the government from township or cities to federal and higher. To think with all the advancements of technology we still to this day do not have all the answers we are looking for. In fact we are actually, in my mind, regressing instead of progressing through our beliefs and values. As time passes the more I see the true world as it is. There is violence, corruption, sex, and profanity every where you go. What has come of morals and values? It's time to open your eyes. The world we live in that we created and we will be the ones to destroy it is not as great as it might seem. That is why we live in an "anti-civilization". This is a civilization that does not seek to actually help others and to progress man's knowledge in medical advancements, science, and the overall welfare of society. Rather than actually find answers to what causes different cancers, we focus more on spending billions of dollars on funding to find treatments and "supposed" cures that usually end up killing people. Although there are a lot of diseases we do know what they are caused by, we don't focus enough on prevention and proper knowledge to avoid those things so they don't become an issue. Until we all open our lives to honesty and not just listen to "truth" we will end up destroying ourselves and others with us.

As I mentioned earlier there is a difference between "truth" and "honesty". Truth is stating some facts about an issue or topic in which provides valued answers. Honesty is stating all the facts that surround issues or topics that answers all questions and all answers are valid. For example, when our country asked our government, "Are or were there aliens in Area 51?" they told us the truth. There were no aliens in Area 51. They were truthful, but not honest. They would be honest if they said, "There are not and were not aliens in Area 51; but there are aliens over here in this area no one knows about Area 61 if you will." (I do not want to get into a whole heated debate about the existence of whether or not aliens exist or whether or not they have made contact with us or if the government knows about them and is "hiding" something from us. But I did want to use that as an example to display the different meanings of "truth" and "honesty" because that is a "story" or situation a lot of people know about and can relate and pull the meaning away from the story. So before you all send emails to me regarding the "facts" about Area 51 and existence of aliens or lack there of; please keep in mind what I just said.)
