    Ooh I like that sentence about the dreams

    a little late (2 weeks late to be precise) but I really like that idea. I read it back then and I didn't quite get it, but now I understood it and it's an impressive thought

    it's really pessimistic though, and I guess some would say "over-realistic". you could say that, by believing we are entitled to something in life, we're just refusing to see the truth, but some could argue that if we don't do that, enjoying life is a lot harder, as things such as "seize the day" or "be yourself" sound really stupid from that point of view, like animals pretending to be something more (which is actually the truth)

    my point is, is living in a dream is a lot nicer or just a lot easier?
    just wanted to get these thoughts out

    Whereas, the truth being we have no rights no deservation and no need to survive as life is ultimately pointless and not at all entitled, but things like 'first world problems', human rights (at a stretch) and capitalism all perpetuate how we are owed something and life entitles us to many things, but further misleads us. 'First world problems' are just a tiny little stone on a mountain but you get the idea

    "Cause its things like 'First World Problems' that perpetuate the self entitled society that we live in"

    Basically how the large difference of the applicability and use of the UN's human rights varies from continent to continent (Some countries don't even meet the basic human rights like water and food and shelter) and a country like America or Great Britain making things like how an iPad can be hard to use on the train or something into a problem (even satirically) works its way into conversation and community and further makes people feel like Internet access is a human right.
    As good a thing human rights are ethically and morally, they further differentiate from animals, and make us more 'human' when in reality we are just top of the food chain and not at all humans but animals. The human rights themselves speak volumes of our civilisation, but as we are animals, we do not these to survive globally and are challenging natural selection by giving people rights.

    would you mind explaining this argument? this sounds like an interesting idea
