Life, Redundant
While necessities are enough for survival and a healthy life, we, it appears to me, spend most part of our wakeful state occupying ourselves with redundancies. However, dividing redundancies as regards how beneficial or harmful they are, we have necessary redundancies - those that are more beneficial than harmful - and absolute redundancies - those that can be wholly dispensed with without affecting the status quo of the happiness in the world.
Absolute redundancies:
Fashion
Hope
Beliefs
Ideals
Religion
Nationality
Morality
'Self-help' section in bookstores
Politicians
Defence
Marriage
...more to be added.
Necessary redundancies:
Talking
Entertainment
Sports
Interior design
MBA
Law
Police
Mercedes
Psychoanalysis
...more to be added.
Feb 14th - Valentine's Day! All hype and fuss around. Seriously, what are we doing with ourselves? Where exactly have things gone wrong for Homo Sapiens?
Current Mood: Happy

questioning and contemplating the absurdities is a 'necessary redundancy' :)
