said it perfectly myself. i always remember that it technically doesn’t have to or didn’t need to be this way. one of the more depressing thoughts while im studying history (ofc outside of other atrocities). but in the end we could’ve just like…existed. get by w growing our food and building basic structures for shelter when needed. which is honestly the things humans rlly just need to survive. but everything else could have been left up to us. run, play, relax, more time and choice when we
I like seriously struggle with this concept. Like I wanna live my life but when I’m in the jail that is modern day money and the system like I can’t. Like yes you can live and do fun stuff,,,, but most of it needs money. Health costs money. Everything costs money. Money money money money oh my god eat my fucking pube dude FUCK U AND YOUR STUPID PAPER SHIT YOU ASSIGNED WORTH TO and sorry for yelling but man
need to be alone. like ofc ik we need things like ways to make sure we prevent or show consequences to violence. but at the same time do we rlly need this huge complex system that regular citizens have to work so hard to keep running? humanity never needed to become this populated. while humans need to defend themselves just like any animal if they are being threatened. we have the ability to actually like…think for a sec before humans decided to start using violence to gain resources they
UGH. Fucking exactly. Those words. “We could’ve existed” like we literally could have done just that. Now we have phones?? And like cars? And jobs? And refrigerators? Like we just are doing the most. We could have made art and made cute homes for ourselves but now we’re like doing the most I can’t. And I agree like we could have had such a rich yet simple life but instead we have as you said this complex ordeal that only hurts the hurt it just is rough to accept it’s our reality when it could-
needed or wanted. bc once that first little bit of unnecessary violence came it showed that humans can get whatever they wanted just as long as they either attacked first, or were stronger & smarter ones to attack in the end. then they got the left over ppl for that land. leaders felt the power and felt the wealth that came from being on top of the throne. they got selfish in always just wanting more more more more when we don’t NEED more. sure we like things we have today and enjoy them
when we are bored like our phones or all the places we can go for activities. but that’s only bc we got used to them. that doesn’t mean humans back then were just constantly bored sitting down and kicking rocks. we can use our basic environment and keep it our basic environment while being entertaining ourselves. we’re not exactly stupid species lol. we could’ve realized that maybe to have overall calm and good lives we don’t need to reproduce like rabbits and probably shouldn’t so we can keep
up with agriculture and farming. or like i said if we just didn’t start violence as the way to gain more resources from the start we could have realized how good humanity can work together by sharing resources everywhere. we don’t need to be so connected in the world. not that it isn’t great to be to meet so many new ppl. but we don’t. we could’ve traded where we could physically without needing to build and build. or maybe we did build boats and stopped there. but the smarter we became the more
aggressive bc with the intelligence came new inventions and resources for those inventions. then came extreme violence to get their hands on those bc they wanted the power and the wealth like i said. but anyway im sorry i always do this😀 i dont mean to bombard your mentions OP LMAOO. it’s just tiring bc yes we could’ve had it less but it would’ve been good. we wouldn’t feel so stuck and suffocated by all of our strict rules &schedules and ways of life bc we’re forced to do so or it all implodes
i know again im sorry for all the replies but exactly 😭 im so fucking tired of it. we could’ve still found ways to learn like learning abt our environment and what keeps it healthy. could have learned medicine from our planet to heal and treat us when needed. learned how to teach kids. yes those are still jobs but they don’t have to be obligations. they can be a community effort where weight is lifted off of everyone’s shoulders where we just worked together to teach/learn from each other &live
