I guess it’s in human nature for people to never be satisfied with what they have.

At times we question our surroundings, our environment and the people in it. Going back to the beginning, that’s how Adam and Eve got kicked out of paradise. With everything that’s happening nowadays; people standing up and speaking their minds, it pushes a thought into mind: are these people speaking for rights that they deserve, that they somehow earned? or are we hearing a spoilt child’s cry for more toys?

The news delivers a certain message that’s addressed to the public. It’s in that message that our thoughts are triggered. Especially when it comes to politics. I remember my father used to tell me “Don’t believe everything that’s being said on the news, most politicians lie”. Growing up with that made me question whether what I heard was true or not, whether it was ‘right’ or ‘wrong’?

I came to this conclusion:

I understand why some people may go to the extreme to make a change, but for a person who is in every way stable, to stand up, speak and demand a change that they as well as others will benefit from is a bit bizarre. Here one might argue that they’re speaking in behalf of the voiceless or the statement ‘It’s for a better cause’ but also that brings the question: ‘who are we to speak in their behalf?’ or ‘is it really a better cause worthy of others pain?’ Whether we like it or not, we’re living in a capitalistic world that doesn’t really preach equality. It’s all about ‘classes’. We are judged by how much money we make and what privileges that brings into our life in a way. It may be a harsh thing to say but life is life, the blessed are blessed while the poor suffer.

The sad thing is that somehow the blessed find a way to stand against everything that gave them what they have and carry the role of the poor and those in need of justice. In your case, what makes you preach for justice when you’ve been eating the candy and tossing the wrapper to those beneath you. All I can hear is “My Rolex ain’t ‘bling’ enough.”
