How we die, and how we don't even realize it, by Dominick

Man can only endure so much torture until he finally gives in and identifies with the opinion of his oppressors. This is due to the psyche's need to protect itself from total emotional overload. We will justify any belief system through different ways that are beneficial to our own mental health, but have no basis in reality. We are so selfish by nature that if we were to act out on all of our desires, we couldn't function. Our desires and wants are killed by ourselves because society cannot sustain or fulfill them all. Over the course of a lifetime our ideals that we once held so dear begin to wane and we don't even realize it. We eventually will reach a point where we are so jaded that any moral dilemma or situation that used to be a complex and emotionally charged process in our youth, will be reduced down to a rationalization such as “that is human nature” or “some people are like that”. Art loses its meaning. Culture loses its meaning. The death of ourselves is by our own hands.

This is to protect ourselves from the constant emotional stress that we are putting on ourselves to live up to how we think the world should be. Eventually one caves to the pressures of the world and we look back 10, 20 years to the past to realize that we no longer care about anything but procreating , looking after our family and blindly following natures way so a new generation might do the same thing, and hopefully only make 1/1000th less mistakes than the last so that we may go on living a somewhat bearable life, find probably one mate, fucking them and then dying.
