No one has any integrity, so why should I?
This is the nonsensical slogan of the modern age. It’s always been part of the collective consciousness, but never has it been so prevalent in all aspects of society. It’s hypocrisy gone stupid—not for the sake of irony or satire, but just for lack of understanding—ignorance. Every day, it becomes less of an excuse and more of a “reason”—its validity strengthening in our misguided opinions while its merit is truly no greater than it ever was. We no longer see the shame in its flawed logic—the true definition of the word lost forever. Though we feel a great sense of tragedy in the loss of what it once was, for our stupidity and ignorance, we are unable to connect the subconscious reason to the mutual sense of loss.
Very much so
