Back then

It seems as if that life was much easier when we were small kids because everyone around us was a kid and had not developed many abilities that we would tend to develop as we grow old. At the time every one just wanted to play and could just be friends with anyone without ever thinking twice about who they are. Now, anything you see or hear cannot be trusted at all since you don’t know what alternative motive the other person has. And at the slight chance they don’t, you’re probably mistaken. That’s because no matter how much we say that we get more complicated as we grew older we get quite a lot simpler and straightforward.

Every time we meet a new person we know well enough exactly what to expect from them we might be slightly off but an educated guess can be made because all we see are the same people that want very similar things. You might say that it is slightly judgemental but it could also be termed as being able to “read people”. Each person we see is looking for a certain amount of personal benefit, which could be money, attention, time or almost anything we might find value at the current time. To get this valuable thing from you, they could do absolutely anything. When I say anything, I mean anything.

You may ask me what this anything could be since it is all so vague. It is quite simple, they could just give you bad looks, they could say something to you and do something else or simply just straight up say things to provoke you that hit your soft spots. so instead of playing cops and robbers were playing. Much larger game, some of us play chess, others checkers some even play monopoly. Where no one is playing in a team just simply trying to make the other lose. While at one point we all just played for enjoyment. This is why it has gotten simpler, we could never understand the enjoyment and why we got it, yet now it’s quite simple we just need to win this competition.

So who wins when everyone plays a different game with the same strategy? Quite honestly nobody wins except the ones that ruin their game. Whoever gets tired of it and decided to flip over that board can be the only one that gains anything from this entire process. Because at that time they got their peace, yet others lost their noise and that silence is what makes them come back louder in a little bit of time. So actually the only way to win is to refuse this game exists, because you cannot break out of, win it or stop it. So why not enjoy ignorance?
