Spoken like a true suburbian

The middle class and the low class are the same class. The low class are without. The middle classes have bought into an endless cycle of materialistic standards, that which knows no limits upon its acceleration. Money and possession alone do not justify barriers between classes. Struggle and numbers do. Yet the struggle justifiably makes sense. Numbers only do because we let them. In no way could numbers ever calculate or measure success, stress, actual wealth, quality of life, or freedom from overwhelming burden or obligation. However, numbers have defined the lines in these increments we use to, in a nutshell, classify us into groups according to our so-stated qualities of life. We have given numbers that power. We, by doing this contribute to the forfeiture of our ability to define ourselves as individuals, given to, unique characteristics.

We lump ourselves into mindset massives. We also let mass media effet EVERYTHING about us. All factors included. This ultimately affects our destinies. By this self classification, we only pin up ourselves against each other. One population jealous of the other. One in critique of the other. When, in reality, we all face struggles that equate to comparable levels of pressure and actual physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual resistance. We deal with challenges that push ourselves to know the limits as to how much we can take. This is a barrier defined by a set of non-metaphysical standards. Rather, the standards are, in fact, defined by worldly, physical, and material attributes. This is what gives people their self-assumed rights to downplay others' overcomings.
Dont tell me that i dont konw any struggle because i haven't walked the same streets as you have, or that i have't overcome the same obstacles as you have.
Others may have an innerconflict that they themselves struggle with, that which would have otherwise prevented them from overcoming your life's trials. All sorts of scenarios of stress can equal the same amount of give in their own personal stress level-threshold. This is all regardless of classes.
Yeah maybe youve made it out of the hood. Sometimes i feel like i cant make it out of my own head. Some people have a hard time making it out of their own house. Meanwhile others, without a home, have developed charateristics that can carry them beyond any set back.
We all have the ability for self fulfillment, just as we all have the same probability for total demise. We also all have the same possibility to reach the afterlife destinies that any one of us may or may not believe in. We must accept that, because eventually we all must adhere to the same regulations if there are any. Just as well as we must accept the lack thereof if there should be no such regulations. Dogmatic procedure will inevidably fail when reality kicks in that we are in the same boat and could just as easily sink to a spiritual abyss of misunderstanding and total loss. Dissappointment knows no numeral system.

I do believe, however, that the middle class and the low class are different than the upperclass elite. Yet, we can still not condemn or cast judgement on any elite solely by the basis of their position. They may very well have earned their right to live so comfortably, and may not participate in that which holds us back. They may very well just have been so fortunate to reach their full potentials, and we should praise that. However, those that do hold others back, or feed distraction, or create obstacles for those trying to realize their full potential- is another story. However i dont feel educated enough myself to speak on that matter with any sort of credibility.

We are not defined by our numbers, and neither are our goals. We only move foward in things relevant to the one true positive force in our universe, that is, understanding: Understanding of our surroundings by science. Understanding of ourselves through art and competitive sport. And Understanding of our roles in spirituality.
