Things That Matter

So, as of late, I have been really reanalyzing what I am concerned with. What I am compelled to achieve, who I am compelled to be.

I study psychology because I like the subject, but I do not really like it that much anymore. I have learned a lot about it, and it has taught me a lot about "people". To pursue a career in psychology, of any sort, I would need substantially more education, higher degrees, and a motivation to help people (I would argue the last for most careers, at least a pretend motivation to help others). But, I am realizing that I do not want to help people the way I used to think was good.

I once thought to help humans live longer and happier was a good thing. It is not. It is grossly inhuman and unnatural to live as long and greedily (at least in America) as we do. I do not want people to live longer; I want people to live humanely. Life-saving surgeries to save of us from mostly problems we have set ourselves up for, like guns, cars, cancers, are just us further becoming god, which no human deserves. If you truly believe in god, it is not his will that you accept treatment to save yourself from cancer when he is trying to kill you. That is fearing him and death, and submitting to a different god: the post-industrial society.

With all of this said, do I support socialized health care? Absolutely yes. Why? Because the I am not convinced that those privileged enough to pay for health insurance are always the most deserving of the treatment. Additionally, I believe we could create more and better jobs because health care providers would not be for profit, therefore, not stingy about hiring. The state could also prevent these businesses from BONUS HORDING CEO ASSHOLES.
