Hypocrite, until asked...

The world’s biggest religion is capitalism:
money is our god, greed is our priest,
banks are our temples,
and shopping is how we express our worship.

The world’s biggest cartel is politics:
democracy is our god, elections are our priest,
voting booths are our temples,
and ballots are how we express our worship.

The world’s biggest idol is stardom:
celebrities are our gods, fame is our priest,
tabloids are our temples,
and applause is how we express our worship.

The world’s biggest faith is hedonism:
sex is our god, lust is our priest,
brothels are our temples,
and fornication is how we express our worship.”

― Matshona Dhliwayo

To be growing up in a world where opinions are treated as facts, no wonder why corruption prevails. I mean, think about it, if we didn’t get angry at people for being selfish, for being greedy and for expressing a lot of our other natural ‘animal-like’ instinctive emotions, wouldn’t we be better off? In the time of everybody turning into self-righteous dimwits only to bring other people down because ‘they were being distasteful’, then we have to ask ourselves the question about changing the quote from “Hate the game; not the player” to “Hate the player; not the game” and, rightly so.

Nobody is completely innocent or wicked, it’s all about balancing the act. But, the problem begins when people act selfish themselves and want other people to be selfless because “I don’t have a lot, but this X person surely does” seems like a legit move, am I right? This has got us turning our backs to our own people, questioning everything and everybody for god knows what reason. If it was limited to that it’d still have been decent, but it has escalated to an annoying point of self-righteousness wherein people want to experience and rather hoard onto everything because “I deserve it” and want other people to pay in some way or the other because “By their looks, you think they know how to use these things properly?”

We want the middle grounds to exist… but only for us, the rest of the world can be black and white so that we can label everybody and everything into separate extreme sections, while we get to have nuances because why TF not, right?
