Transcending dystopia.

There is a huge amount about this world we simply do not know.

Do I refer to the unknown reaches of our own world? A utopia of myth and legend we have yet to discover? No. I mean the secrets of man.

We do not know, or fully realise what our government does, or organisations, or companies. We do not really know anything. We are so hugely influenced  and dependant on the media, that they can simply tell us anything and we will blindly believe it.

Everyone has differing opinions on the Wikileaks site and its content. You are entitled to one - perhaps you believe that the knowledge is too dangerous and the public shouldn't know, or you may think we have the right to know. The fact remains though, it shows how distorted the media and government it. A story, or event is never one sided, nor is it even two - there are always multiple perspectives and truths to it, that we simply do not know or understand.

I find it unbelievably interesting looking back through time to different societies, and the secrets they held. The organisations that did the bidding of the respective person (or people) in power without their subjects knowing, or the underground networks of contacts they established. It's hugely interesting, and there is just a wealth of knowledge available, which gives a clear indication of how humanity works and what positions of power do.

It would be foolish to deny the existence of secrets doings of how officials in this day and age. We know this, and on occasion government will admit to it, usually spinning the angle that it's for our greater good or national protection.

Nothing is cut and dry, black and white or a single layer. There is always something below that surface.

I seem to lack the determination...or perhaps I think an essay will bore you to write full detailed blogposts on my inner mind and workings. I unsure whether people would be interested.

Another quick point - when we seek the truth, is it because we believe it is right? Is it? Do we do it for the greater good, to help something, to uncover injustices? Do we? Do you tell someone about a situation that was previously perceived incorrectly, as to give them closure or bring someone to justice, because you believe it is right? Morally right?

Do you? Or do you do it because humans inherently do not won't to be wrong?

Man (in a general humanity sense) does not want to be proven incorrect. If we can prove what we're saying to be the "truth" then we are right - we win, you win.

Perhaps we're naturally evil, selfish beings that are and always will be the masters of our own demise.
