Anti-Gravity

By Sonny Go

I believe that some people tend to degrade certain people to be able to raise themselves upward onto a higher pedestal in the social structure they reside in.
Okay, not a statement most people would agree with, but it is absolutely true. May the gods be the witness, we have seen a lot of these things dished out upon each other's faces everyday. We have seen the Negroid race discriminated by Caucasians for their skin color. We have seen Asians discriminated by westerners for their unusual culture. We have seen women underestimated by men for being stereotypically known as the "weaker sex". We have seen genetically "unique" people frowned upon for being born as such. We have even seen nerds bullied by various groups of people for being either physically deficient, being too smart, or not being able to fit in to the social contours of his surroundings. As most of these have nothing to do with anything the degraded have done wrong, that's actually the point. Humans have long frowned upon those who are different. Different because of reasons and conditions beyond their control.
As much as these things have been seen, we still haven't grasped the whole picture yet. As much as we would want to say that we understand this subject, there is no actual way for us to say that we truthfully do. If it were, none of it would take place right now. Hitler never thought of it as a sin, but as the extermination of the weak races. Most whites never saw it as a sacrilege, but as the reporting of the universal truth. Most males never seen it as a mistake, but as the expression of a fact of life. A lot of unaware people never seen it as bad, but as something that rids them of the horror of it all. Humans never saw it as a flaw of character, but as either personal gratification or a substitute for the pain of living. All of these things that I have mentioned right now may not be entirely true, but there is no denying it. It's still the truth.
Although this is an piece that focuses on this subject, it is not a call to stop such acts of degradation. The main concept of this piece is that there is no true way to attain social equality and peace for discrimination is imprinted on human instinct. It is natural for people to do so. Ever since Adam and Eve took the forbidden fruit, such things have gradually risen from the deep denizens of hell to prevent harmony amongst humans that divine providence had planned before. Either you are with or without any sort of faith, there is no denying that this had already gone out of hand a long time ago.
The way I see it, if no one would stop this madness, maybe the only hope left would be for Jesus to come down here once again to signal the start of the Apocalypse, so we would finally be rid of this social cancer that continues to plague this planet of ours. The social pollution that continues to linger, either it be Jesus, Allah or even Shiva with his/her arms of doom. This social pollution continues to linger.
The anti-gravity placebo effect experienced after such acts of discrimination towards fellow men tends to result into such a high, that it becomes one of the most dangerous narcotics ever known to man. A high that starts wars and destroys lives all over the world, throughout history.
