The Practical Higher Purpose

Growing up we all have delusions that get cured promptly by the reality of the world. I had the delusion that man has a higher purpose in life, that he has a social responsibility and that he has to give back to the society. The truth, not really. Maybe giving back to the society was a thing once, not anymore though. The only truth is accumulating enough to be secure, as much as one can be. Cut the bullshit of giving back to the society, because you are in the same boat as the rest of the society, and whatever you have, no matter how much you have accumulated, can vanish just at the whims of, well, some. So not only you have to accumulate, but also keep what you have accumulated, safe. Delusion of higher purpose and giving back to the society is a dangerous one in today's times. The entity that governs us, judges us by our worst. Imagine you are a mulatto, you will be judged by the black side of family instead of the white side by this entity, and you are aware that the white is at the top of racial hierarchy and black is arguably at the bottom. This is just an example, and it can apply to anything, in Indian context, you can take example of caste, one of your parents belong to lower caste and one from the upper caste, and you would be judged by your lower caste side of your family. Another example can be schools. You studied in three schools, two of them were good schools and one of them not so much and I'm talking in respect of social class. You won't be judged by the classy schools that you studied in but that one shitty school that you took admission in due to necessity or by mistake. I'll tell you that it's not a rule actually, to judge people by their worst, it's just a highly optimised form of exploitation and when exploitation is optimised at this level, the process kind of becomes the rule. What governs us and controls us employs individuals who exploit the sick for their sickness, handicapped for their handicap, the helpless for their helplessness, it's kind of a direct system of exploitation. These individuals rape a rape victim for getting raped, that's how direct things are in this country, and they are employed at what could possibly be the highest level of existence in this country and on the planet. And this system that controls our lives by these "rules", hides in plain sight behind the drama of politics, media, entertainment and of course the big daddy of them all, religion. When you are always afraid for survival and of failing, you thank God for the little wins in life, and that's how people are made thankful for their own exploitation. I am a big advocate of belief in higher power, or God as you may call Him or Her, but don't make the mistake of thinking that it's God that is controlling your life, it's actually the politics of exploitation. God actually resides in the way a mother loves her child, the way chlorophyll makes food for the plant in the sunlight, the way animals adapt to their environments and survive, God resides in the good music that you listen to and feel a higher state of being. If at all I have learnt anything in this life of mine is that there is no higher purpose; higher purpose of life might have actually existed, but probably in early 20th century and the time before that, not anymore. Only higher purpose that remains now is to accumulate for survival, and for people like me, not mine, as I would have actually bounced from the planet after the awareness of the setup if I didn't have people who I loved. Accumulate as much and as good as you possibly can, that is if this demonic system of exploitation allows you at all, for your loved ones, for your family, and if you are selfish, for yourself. Accumulating is not a guarantee that you or your loved ones would not be tortured, humiliated and exploited but then as the saying goes, it's better to be sad in a Mercedes than on a bicycle. Thriving is not in your hands but accumulate for survival, or die trying, that's the only higher propose worth spending time in this country at least, I don't know about other countries.
