We only belong because we think we do

What if the world was a big disappointment? What if the way the world we espied wasn’t that predictable? The hopes and dreams created to fulfil the emptiness has shifted and moulded the perceptions of mankind to think that there is an innate ability to exist with the alliance of others, such as, with people of the same gender,age,interests and most importantly culture. Anthropologists and psychologists propose that Homo Sapiens are not born a self, rather the self is weakened by the surroundings the person is exposed to, known as the ‘significant other’. The significant other refers to ‘nuclear family’, in other words the family you were born into that consists of - in most cases - a mother, a father and sibling(s). Thus, external sources have an impact as well, for instance, the ‘modern self’. The modern self incorporates ideas such as language, thoughts and status that will cause the ‘self’ to be ranked. Further elaborating the so called ‘modern self’ groups those around them into a hierarchy of the cultivated all the way through to the not so cultivates - savage.

Whether evolution occurred or not of apes transforming into humans, and whether we agree with it or not, many significant comparisons cant be obtained from that theory. A significant concept of the human race regarding skin colour can be directed to Edward Thorndike’s theory of ‘trial and error’. What does this theory suggest? Repeated errors continue until success if reached. Error, mutation in the human body repeatedly occurred during the past couple of billion years until ‘success’ was finally reached; the current human body. Yes very debatable, but we can simply take this teary and implement it into our lives. Failure, what does it mean? most of the time it’r depressing, right? However, if failure is viewed from the same angle it was viewed during the study of evolution, it can be life changing. Failure led to success. Which means, technically there is nothing wrong with failing, if you invested
