On the Hatred For the Wholesome, Part I

It seems to be something of a trend to dump on happy endings these days, and anything that shows moral sense brings calls to be cancelled right away. The only thing the elites accept is the dysfunctional and depraved, anything else must be childish, from 'simple minds' mired in cliché. I’ve been alive long enough to see that yes, the world can be truly cruel, But I have seen that just as often it can be a hundred shades of cool. And to demonize the wholesomeness that some entertainment will provide, to scoff at all the family values that brought the millions fulfilled lives, how does that make a person feel smart? How do they not realize, in their brains, that life has as much light as darkness, that there’s more than just wallowing pain? I admit there is real value in examining things that make us hurt, but isn’t there as much value in looking into what makes this world work? I think it comes down to two reasons, and the first I say half-way in jest, to me it seems our society is a victim of its own success. To put it simply, some folks are bored, with the type of life that we all have. Where once we struggled just to survive, now we feel fat and lazy and bad. The morals we used to celebrate worked so well they became commonplace, we forgot how they built our nation, assumed they were the natural state. And given the questing human mind, we went out looking for something new, but when things are good you only find change flirting with less moral points-of-view. You start to fetishize the bad-boy, romanticize all the criminals, of course, you're safe while your doing this, so you don’t comprehend it in full. And then it creeps into the culture, hidden by buzz-words like ‘tolerance,’ but like any drug, the hit wears off, and you need more and more decadence. Until you’ve been immersed so damn long that you think it is all that is real, that there’s nothing but the decadent, and you are so desperate just to feel. Some people are destroyed by all this, others burn out and make a retreat, realize the wholesome is not that bad, and away from the cities they beat... CONCLUDES IN PART II.
