How Ugly Is Said To Be Pretty
Through interpretation is how a person understands themselves and the world around them.
Our upbringing heavily influences the rest of our lives.
The trajectory and path we are set on is likely to persist.
How our parents interpreted themselves, the world, and by extension society outside the home, depicts that trajectory.
Trajectories can change, and in some cases need changing.
Some trajectories, however, seem to be set in stone... and this statement can be interpreted as positive, negative, or other.
/noun/
- the action of explaining the meaning of something
If we had parents that experienced a hostile upbringing, filled with violence and trouble, there is a likelihood their experience is forwarded to us in some manner.
It may not be a parent's (or an individual's) desire to forward trouble onto their children, but the fact that human behavior is largely imitated and adopted.
A person at 20 years of age is likely to be different at 40 years of age.
A child reared by a 20 year old may be raised differently than by a 40 year old.
Maturity.
It is my view that mankind is supposed to grow and mature, both individually and as a whole, similar to all other natural phenomenon on earth.
The manner such maturity occurs (if at all) depends greatly on the interpretation of the self and the world... and again the job our parents did with us.
Division exists among human beings due to the variety of interpretation of things that would seem to be indisputable.
Hypocrisies.
It is a logical hypocrisy that government outlaws the murder of the human being, yet allows for the killing of a human being (whether self-defense, abortion, or capital punishment).
Have you noticed how people can be easily convinced of things detrimental?
When it comes to history, law, religion, humanity, and the meanings of things, it is sad how one's opinion can be argued as fact or 'the truth'... while the truth is disregarded as ancient, outdated, or not 'true anymore' due to new ideas or new interpretations.
It is quite dangerous how some realities, that have always been understood as 'fact', are somehow now 'wrong'.
Sure, there are many ideas or claims that are often corrected in due time.
This happens all the time in science when one theory is touted as 'truth' until the next theory supplants it.
But is the human condition based on a theory?
Can the human condition, where depravity has always been identified as such, now be argued as 'freedom' or 'love' or some other platitude excusing the deplorable as 'normal'?
Such is the current rhythm of the world where we see a blending of facts with theorized fictions, where opinions seem to be facts because of how loudly they are repeated.
Dogs will always bark and sometimes bite.
Much how a person can be fooled into hating others and even killing them.
This is the work of politics, religion, cultural constants... but what does Truth speak?
Where morals and ethics are concerned, some think it best to keep one's acknowledgement of the truth hidden away while the obviousness of immorality is to publicized as a step in human evolution.
It simply isn't so, and will never be so.
But for those believing new interpretations, dissonance is their gospel.
