SOCIETY IS IN ITS INFANCY

We live in a time or period in which society and the media is largely cynical, confused, and illusionistic, where apathy, doubt, and uncertainty is mingled with hopes of a glamorous and superficial lifestyle, not only is this evidence of a society that needs to grow up, we are also under a constant bombardment of negative and nihilistic images by the media, which goes to show how immature, uncertain, and ignorant society truly is in its evolution at present. Much more maturing is required of society in general if we are to progress anywhere, and one can safely point out that this is only because society is still in its infancy, and is still very young, for instance, when one thinks about it in depth, one could say that time frames for the evolution of societies are much more extended than we at first realize when we think about it, and also society has not really been around that long when one compares it to biological evolution. Society has a lot to learn and re-learn due to the past errors of judgement that have occured in the events in the world so far, not only is society still in its infancy, but also human consciousness is still in its infancy also. Human beings are capable of creating a far superior society than the one's we have at present, they simply have to drop the illusions, and the apathy, and the cynicism, and get busy maturing as a whole, and get more in touch with the truth and the things that count. Creating truth out of possibility is the wellspring from which all purpose and meaning flows out from, so it makes more sense to create a meaning out of the thought that basically all of society needs to mature a bit quicker than it has been before too much doubt occurs in the world.
Human beings up until today have been largely passive and conformist, they have allowed concepts like god, and religion, and nationality, and politics, and money, and so many other things to rule them and influence them, if democracy is to really work in the world people have to refuse to conform to society in general, aswell as learn to shape the society in the way they want it as a whole, and they can only attain this as a non-conformist mass of people, they should do this instead of allowing the people who have the power in the things they are meant to conform to to have a power over them to manipulate them, because it is people in general who really have the power, and they have to stop giving their power away to the power hungry conformists and manipulators of the world. Realistically though humans have a lot of potential to do great and fantastic things in society, and with society as a whole, but they have to stop giving their power away due to fear, and selfishness, and mental laziness, and apathy, and cynicism and the list goes on and on like this, it is a shame really that a lot of people are to self absorbed to care about society and its problems. Individual people should do some revaluation of their place in society and view their situation as something progressive within a structure that has a lot of growing up to do, people should get busy shaping society in a more truthful and mature way, they should not allow dogma and ignorance, whether it be religious or political to interfere with their personal intelligence. The desire to live more genuinely within society implies a responsibility for one's own actions and how it affects other people, and this can be a lonelier stance or approach to be in, if one compares it to people who do not care about society at all or where it is going, whether they be involved in politics or not. The infancy of society will not last forever, but hopefully it can mature well with some of our help and wisdom, we just need to contribute to it what we can, so that its development will go without any problems, and in the course of time it will grow up to be a responsible adult.
