The Social Paradigm
We seem to follow a pattern.
Nobody set it.
Nobody fully understands it.
We just all know that it’s there.
Some benefit from it;
Some hate it.
Everyone is in its grasp;
No one can be set free.
Its bounds are respective
In all of its territories.
Its powers are not contained;
Likewise, they are infinitely powerful.
You are immediately set in a order.
One that becomes difficult to stray from,
Yet you are free within its bounds.
Sometimes we wish this pattern would disappear,
That it would be not so harsh.
Most wish for a different placement.
Their aspirations are let down.
The pattern is as follows:
High
Middle
Everyone Else
However, most are unappreciative
Of their placement.
Most are rightly unappreciative.
This paradigm leads to sadness,
Despair,
Depression,
Anxiety,
False hope,
Loneliness,
Uncontentment,
Regret.
It wont go away,
Ever.
It lasts,
If not in reality, in our minds.
It messes with our heads
Until it protrudes out from our demeanors,
Until it makes sense,
Until we actually believe it.
