The humming musing
Surviving in a bottomless pit, only to be further pushed down the rabbit hole
Bad times compound to terrible times. Terrible times compound to Insufferable times. Insufferable times compound to nerve-wrenching times. Nervewrenching times then compound itself to soul-crushing times.
One of the most fascinating things is the concept of a bad time, we all have our bad days, but did you ever notice how bad times just keep getting worse in the majority of cases? This is just realizing how the harsher truths about nature’s predatory and prey instincts come alive. The Darwinian, survival of the stronger specimen gaining ground is an important focal point to understanding the concept of a bad time. Now, bad time is not just an event, an incident, an instance; here bad time that I refer to is a continuous haphazard cycle of bending your mind to a point where you behave like a deluded amnesiac lost in the streets waiting for someone to drop a burger so that you can feed yourself after staying hungry for a day.
The perpetual bad times
Bad times are reminiscent of everything that is extremely problematic with how we process our feelings and emotions. The kind of mind space we decide to live with, and why it is important to not lose it when you are enduring something incoherent and intangible wave of sadness becomes an important affair for reflection. But bad times in perpetuity are basically calling out the unequal world.
The agony of the poor
A poor person faces a whole set of difficulties in their life. Frankly speaking, they are prone to more challenges in life and also are the most susceptible to receiving society’s bottom-rung services. Let me explain to you with an example, In India e-commerce industry is thriving, so much so that people are getting every good from their accessories, and electronic items to luxury goods, clothes, pantry goods, veggies and even spices online. The kind of industrial incentives that are powering that boom are being utilized by educated middle-class Indians.
But that should have been the service for the poor, where industrial profit is being used for a good cause. But since their access to the internet and inability to use it effectively refrains them from knowing about coupons, discounts on using certain paying channels etc, they pay for the overpriced product from their local small shop which is the last entity in the entire product’s reach to the buyer.
Lack of wealth becomes a continuing affair
Wealth is what ensures the prosperity of a person, a family, a community, and a nation in the 21st century. But wealth is not an easy aspect to understand. The philosophical understanding of the monetary systems in today’s time is heavily based on the axis of demand and supply. However, these demands are often regulated through various supply chain manipulation tactics and this creates hyperinflation or deflation in values. Both the big companies, nations and financial institutions are responsible for this. Most of the developed world now has debt equivalent to their GDP. This is happening because of the shrinking space for equitable distribution of wealth.
The world’s assets often in many cases are owned by few influential people in the world. What these people get is the new money that is printed, or whatever money they transacted electronically goes to the big financing and investment firms in the form of debt. And, the hoarding of wealth will escalate the demand spike which pays for short-term loans, but for long-term loans, you will try to get the necessary collateral. Once the collateral is there you get to get more loans. The loan payment sometimes stalls leading to the accumulation of NPAs (Non-Performing Assets) and that is the situation everywhere in regards to debt today. The govt then takes loans from the institutions and causes a fiscal deficit in their budget, making this cycle a closed loop between Politicians and Entrepreneurs. Debt vs Debt, Tax vs Profit etc.
Lack of formalized money lending channels
Good banks whether run by the state or any private entity provide a better interest rate on your deposits. In many rural backgrounds, money is often interchanged via money lenders and poor people get it through a high interest rate. The dichotomy exists on similar lines it is the poor people who are paying above-average interest rates for their meagre money, and it is saddening that this exists even now.
Social problems
Poverty makes people vulnerable and shows them alternative paths about not following the truthful way. And, it keeps compounding, poor people often lack money leading to bad nutrition intake, and bad relationships between father and mother impact their kids as well. Bad nutrition often makes them mentally weak and also in some form intelligence stunting occurs in them. Seeing bad conditions and societal schisms crime becomes an adventurous alternative to thriving inside a heating furnace. Rejection, obliteration, cessation and discrimination do push and activate criminals within a human with strengthening willpower.
Conclusion
In the very end, we do see that times can become really tough and it often spirals downwards. At the end of the day, it is only with sheer fighting spirit, that you can disassociate the bad in you to find it replaceable with a collective good in you. It's worth a shot in trying to change the natural cycle of a bad time.
