Production

Lately, this notion of production and consumption has been filling all areas of my life, from societal and personal. And I, Personally, also speaking economically, am solely presenting myself to the world as a consumer; that is outside of my profession. I almost said career, but so help me, if this is my career, which sort of de-notes(sp?) a life long thing. I guess so does profession, so I suppose job would be the most appropriate title. And this job, while being on the road of the 'career' that I chose for my life, is not in line with the end result of my collegiate experience. Or maybe I just say that all as to defend my meaningless and unfulfilling position in life, which I pray and hope is not my life's work.

Back to production however, as my writing tends to get off subject very easily, and more importantly, all too often. As I present myself to this world as a producer within my [country's] economy, I do so as a tax-paying, corporate-driven(low level as it is), consumer-minded, citizen. So, yes, I have a job, pay my taxes, contribute to a corporation that produces(where my contribution to society in a production stand point lies) a service that is necessary for our complex economy, and simply, I am a producer in that sense. Pretty much, an average 'Joe' producer; nothing outside a limited boundary, created by another significant member of society, at least ours in America: a corporation.

However, where my views rest, is not on a pro-corporation, capitalistic society, or in laimen's(sp?) terms, a 'money-driven world'. That is in fact the society that I have been raised and currently dwell in, as are most societies in this world. But my question is, who said this was the right way? Obviously, and most objectively as I can be, there are many problems within this world, and more specifically, our society. So, how can we, as a purely capitalistic society create such a line between the wealthy and the poor. Are several houses of enormous capacity and small one bedroom apartments and row houses where we should draw the line; and even more extreme, mansions, and the plain, ole' outside, the streets. Where do we get to say that, yes, this accomplished and even more so, blessed, human, deserves and should squander, while there are others, who lie on the streets at night, dreaming and, more appropriately, waiting, for a change. A dream and a hope that is almost unobtainable at that level.

Now, maybe I've again gotten too far off track, but is there not a point where we should, as a society, look past the capital that surrounds us, and look to ourselves, our own hearts. I'm referring to creating a humanitarian outlook, as opposed to this capitalist world we have thrived in and continue to follow in. Even in our worst times, which they say is now, we still live like Kings, compared to the peasants of this world.

Again, I digress, to my emotions to be specific. Its the one thing that fully controls me, or at least when I can't control them. These are only my beliefs, and who am I really... But as I said, 'we thrived'. Who really is we? Because there's millions, billions, that have not, and will never.
So to create a society centered around the dollar, is to base it on greed.

I've gotten into a whole new matter for discussion and subject. But, I think I answered my original question, that I may have not even stated within this. This was the reason I was even inspired to write. To question myself, and society. Whether it is better to produce, even though some of the end products were not what was intended, or even worthy of re-iteration at any other given point in time. Or whether a stagnant way of being; And producing, is a better route. Most certainly it is not easier, but fulfilling and contributing, is something that inactivity is not.
I see it all the time, and also fight it all the time; but with this act of non-inactivity(to say the double negative just to stress the importance of creating an atmosphere and life void of inactivity) I have shown myself, that it is in most point of fact, better to produce. Whether the end result changes the world, or lies in its place in that moment.

With any production, there is a product. And a product, no matter the value, always surpases a stagnant consuming way of being.

And with that, I have proved myself wrong. And right.
