This.Is.Sick. But to be honest:
Let's face it. Credit Score is no different than this. A Good Citizen Score is just set at a higher scale. People are demonized and penalized all of the time for bad credit scores, and most of the time, it is out of their hands. America is no different than China, and I would be proud to be called a "bad citizen", because if you can endure and resist the indoctrination, than it means that the ones with the power haven't taken away your spirit....
Gamification is an honest expression of how human society works as a whole. It starts early in life, with the cliques and peer pressure of high school, a reflection of an adult social life. Put on a figurative mask, play dress up, impress the right people and you just may succeed in life. If you are unable to do so or you choose not to, you better prepare yourself to live your life as an outcast. Everyone is just in it for themselves, whether its to be on top, for a sense of purpose or entitlement or simply just to survive, we are all just looking out for ourselves and society is the name of the game. Believe it or don't. It is what it is and no one said it was pretty. I wonder what will happen when the rules change or even seize to exist. Who will be able to adapt?
Take it from me. This reality has been thoroughly shoved in my face. I'm just a quiet person. Being a quiet person, I tend to stick to myself, not by my own accord, but because no one wants to talk to me. When I am in public, I get these looks, these expressions of snaring conceit or fearful nervousness. These looks are completely unwarranted. I am a human being like anyone else, I have interests, values and emotions, but these things are put to the test by society and they fail miserably. The truth is I can be a kind-hearted person if people would allow me to be, but that's not how the game works. I chose to be myself, to preserve my identity and therefore I have willfully forfeited in participating in the game. I know I am an outcast, and I wear that title proudly.
And sure I get angry sometimes, after day upon day of holding it in, of "controlling it," and that control has been tested and it has failed. In the end, I am punished for my human emotion, for being upset for being used, shamed and ostracized. The truth is, we are all human with the same emotions and we all make judgements upon each other, based on our interests and values and especially on common, social sentiment. Good. I'd like to believe that their is good, I really do, but my hope in that is failing. It seems that that good deeds that we do, are simply for a since of entitlement or purpose. It seems that we are all just animals, wanting a slice of the pie. You win or you lose. I know that now, not that it will help me much.
