Everything Was Exactly How It Seemed

This sentence is from ‘Postal Service’s’ Song “Sleeping In”. The band talks about how he had a dream where everything was exactly how it seemed, nothing to cover up the truth. I wanted to write this post for quite some time now, but only today’s events gave me enough motivation to actually write it. What if everything was exactly how it seemed?

Today’s society is masked with lies and deceit. Every single one of us has lied once in their lifetime. I’m not saying that’s necessarily a bad thing, but just saying we all have. And those lies cover up other lies and in the end, our society is based upon lie after lie, like a diamond is made of lattice of carbon. I think our society would just crumble under the initial blow when all lies are revealed.

I wonder what society would be like if everyone just told the truth? Would it be a better place because lies won’t be in front of our eyes? Would we choose leaders who truly want to help people? Will it be easier to criminalize people, after all we’ll know whose intentions were what? Would there be no fights because we’ll know that in the end, everyone’s just insecure? Wouldn’t the world understand each other better? My parents would understand me, I would understand them. My friend would understand me, I would understand them. It’ll be like we would reach this new level of communication, this awesome stage where everything is so clear than no one is confused, no one knows which emotion to feel. It’ll be this absolute height where everything’s clear. A state of all knowing-ness where your mind doesn’t wonder if you’re right or wrong. Because all you know is right, no lies.

Or will it just go downhill? Society will fall, and burn into ashes. Will all the truth just be too much to bear? Will everything I want to say to my parents or my friends just crush their hearts and make everyone bitter? Will the fact that everyone tell the truth not change anything? Will people still not understand each other, or just deny it outright? Will we find out that Mother Teresa, noble peace price winner, actually was the most selfish person on earth? Hitler, who was a devil in disguise, had the noblest intentions for the human race? Will the truth just overwhelm us and knowing all the cruel intentions of the world just separate us from each other and we’ll all just live in our little corner? What will happen to humanity? Will we all turn sadist because we realize that in fact no one truly cares about you and that everyone’s just selfish?

All these things boggle my mind, but in the end at times I do wish that the truth was revealed, because I’m just too much of a coward to say all I want to. In the end, aren’t we all? And those who actually do say all that they want, society puts a branding on them – they call them asses, or people who are rude and have no manners.

P.S. on a lighter note, guys would start getting way less because girls would know that we’re after 1 thing mostly.
