Equilibrium

It has been self-evident that in today's society, we could find individuals with variety of traits and personality. Based on such premise, I wanted to express my view on the unique mixture of the society. I believe, if we taken into account all various factors i.e. cultural, economical, geographical traits, we would be able to produce a certain distribution of people of certain traits and personality. Let say, in city A, it would be composed of 90% diligent people and 10% lazy people. Don't you agree on this point that there's always bad and good person coexists with each other? Even though, their quantity may differ unlike a matter-antimatter pair or a racemic mixture.

Now, here comes my opinion coming into play. In short, I've always believe that every organism in this planet are born with a reason. I believe that every single organism in  this universe have a role to play. But, what objective is there to accomplish? To stop the Big Crunch? To meet Him? To live and pass on our genetic heritage? To preserve arts and culture? I have yet to be able to answer such question.

However, it is interesting to note that I do not believe that anybody has a definite answer to that question. It is just equivalent as asking why do we even exist and think at the first place? (Remember Descartes?) Why do we live and carry on activities? Imagine that you are an independent being with no emotional connection to the others (that means you do not have parents and friends, but you coexist with other humans), once you ask "Why am I exist?", I believe you would not be able to give any answer. You do not know why you exist at the first place, do you?

Similar to what the Positivist had done to Copenhagen Interpretation of Quantum Theory, the most simplest solution to a problem is to state that it is not even a problem at the first place. For the course of following paragraphs, we shall adopt such positivist stand temporarily.

Reverting to my preceding discussion about bad and good coexistence, I shall limit the discussion to the Blue Planet and her inhabitants. I believe that everybody was born with a role to play in the Planet, be it nurturing the infants, preserving the knowledge, creating the art, improving the lives etc. I always believe that everybody has a part to play in the WORLD. Nobody is born without a role with respect to the world as a whole.

However, my observations told me otherwise. I had witnessed individuals with no sense of responsibility and aspiration towards the whole society as if they are the parasites, sucking the resources out to waste e.g. take the example of obese people and think of the starving children all around the world, take the example of rich people throwing all their fine food away while thinking about the unfortunates who even did not have the luxury to feed himself thrice a day. Treating this from a scientific point of view, I am currently trying my best to figure out what positive role are they playing in the Society. Please do not let me abandon my hypothesis. You must be there for a reason. You must...

The equilibrium must hold.

I do have another thoughts to share based on this premises based on a short-performance-art shown at my University's local group concert yesterday. But, I shall end the post here for now.
