It’s almost time for me to wake up, and I really want to sleep,
But I can’t.
Haven’t a clue why. Lack of sleep for a few days running have left absolutely no trace during what is to be considered (but no longer applies to me recently) normal waking hours.
Sports, studying, everything fine. I just can’t fall asleep and stay asleep for more than 3 hours at a time. Some freaky kind of selective insomnia.
Since I’m up I’ve been wanting to share something here but it kept slipping my mind.
Human society the world over has relied upon authority to feel like things are going the way they should be. Early on it used to be people who were naturally stronger, better experienced in certain things or just respected for some reason or other. They were the chieftains, oracles, leaders of their day. How did they get to, (pretty much) the top of the food chain of the world they knew.
I doubt the very first ones were forced by their (at the time) equals to take up the position because nobody knew what to do and he was the one with the awesome biceps. AFAIK thats what could have transpired but it seems like that would have spelt the end of humankind there and then. He would have needed to know that it was him and nobody else, want to advance his people, know it was possible, know that he was ready. So on and so forth.
I’m not going to research this much but I hope ancient humans weren’t the one alpha male with twenty women under his belt kind of society. Doesn’t make sense since more men would have made more sense to protect it, gather food, etc.
I digress. About the leader-person, I was just wondering. Who are the real leaders today? Politics has brought a whole dimension into picking a leader and has messed up the whole point of the process. Money, politics, evil. Amazing how corrupt countries all over the world are and even more amazing is how they dress themselves up in banners, goddamn flags, tattoos, everything just screaming democracy. Democracy is not just a word, it needs to be acted upon.
I’m worried that among all the so called world leaders today, none are actually qualified to furthur their country or the human race as a whole. After all, they were probably chosen for their affiliation to something related to money which would benefit Tom, Dick, and Sally. T,D,S here are not the people, just rich people who want to get richer.
Its finally sleep time =) That was the best remedy ever.
