The Knight And The Peasant: A System

Sometimes, when one gets so used to something, one fails to notice the flaws in that system that has become familiar and the constantsy that has become one's "life."
We are not bad people. Nor are we stupid. We are simply busy little humans, living in a system, with expectation, and some predictablilty.
We are not excessive. Now are we ridiculous. We are simply thoughtful little sparks of brain-power, angry consumers, and secret idealists.
My life does not revolve around how great/terrible it is, but instead, around how great/terrible I want it to be. It's an exhausting way of life. But such is me: exhausting and refreshingly complicated - so I like to think.

It appears that we belong to a strange system (Sorry I like the word) and it fuels itself on "self-proclaimed" independence and an established hierachy.
We, naturally, are selfish beings. So we act and re-act merely for ourselves, the ridiculous part is wanting other people to understand, even when we make damn sure we are complicated; immensely. So it's in our nature to put ourselves above others and pretend to be hunble enough to put others above us. Because, even though we are all the same when it comes to this, we think it wrong, rude, etc. to be selfish and conceded - UP THE ASS!

An example:

I like to think I'm stronger and smarter than my mother, in the sense of decision-making, and arguing skills.
She thinks she smarter than the rest of her family and that she reigns over all that is strong.
Here, a hierarchy has been formed. We don't have COMPLETELY different "ethics" and "virtues" but they differ greatly enough to make a big, messy difference.
Such hierarchies and criticised feminist, marxists, anarchists, communists, and other critical theorists, all of which I admire and adore. But they are also...so adorable I can't even stand it. I am a cinic and an arrogant, big-dick, pretentious being, some say - and yeah so what? Fuck you and fuck that. The fact of the matter is that I like me and I like being alright with that. And I like belonging to a criticized "hierarchy!" ... so yeah, I find a way to stand it.

Yes, I have found wrong in the inner-woirking of this "system" I've obviously grown found of. Yes some, most, I want to change. I've already accomplished the first steps: acceptance, and reason in that acceptance

Life, as I know it, is made up of clusters and networks: some simply some complicated, some loud some quiet, some absurd some boring, some right some wrong - but always - ALWAYS, the is and will be balance. Somehow. Somewhere.
