In my spare time at school, I often write about the points of humanity that throw me off kilter with the rest of the world. Maybe my 'gift' is this difference, being autistic I feel separate from the rest of the world-in a way.
I wonder at the limits of the human mind, so elastic and complicatedly simple, I find it odd that these civilizations have not collapsed as the pessimists always predict; but seem to flourish despite flaws so obvious to me- if the mass would simply absorb the change and continue. But no, they must squabble over petty, irrelevant differences; hampering themselces as individuals even more so than they inhibit the growth and evolution of the societies and cultures that they proclaim to be a proud member of.
YetI still see, and comprehend their reasoning for the flawed logic used. I do comprehend, yet I do not understand, the words have seemingly blurred the lines of definition after misuse by too many incompetent fools. Still insistant of their self-assured rightness about the path they havechosen leading to the destruction of not only the individual, but the society as well. I will continue my surveillance, assess, store the data, and learn from my mistakes; as well as theirs. My mistakes at interaction are the ones proving the most difficult to correct. But who is completely positive of anything, so that they know what correct means? After all, 'correct' is just another flawed concept. . . .
there is alot more to my ravings at the deficiencies of society and the lack of motivation there is to correct the problems. this is just a sample, thanks for reading my, um, thoughts about how badly matters of deciding what goes where are handled by governments.
