Handshakes and Orgasms

by jordan-fischer

The world needs a new currency. And I will be the first to offer a suggestion It’s something we all love, and already know. Something that has been around as long as man Well, half of it has been around that long. The other may be relatively new I honestly believe that the world can survive on Handshakes & Orgasms. That’s the new currency I am proposing. As humans we should obviously do what it takes to survive But if that means that some people get to survive in luxury And others have to actually survive, then fuck that system. Hypothetically, I have a skill, a skill people need. Others have skills that I do not have, but I need. A simple handshake should be agreement enough. This whole 'greed' thing has gotten out of control, As a matter of fact, it shouldn't fucking exist. A person has no right to live better than any other person Now this may come off sounding like communism. But in all fairness communism has never actually been properly tested And I know the world would fucking implode, if their “freedom” was infringed upon. But their idea of freedom is bullshit, it’s just getting lots of money Buying shit they don't need to impress their neighbor, who is doing the same. Money is a human invention; it only has value because we let it. All these people think they are free, but they are slaves to themselves And Society I can't tell you, how many times I have heard people say, They are going to get out there and do what they want to do But, “I can't right now, I have blah blah blah to do first” But the thing is, only a small amount of people who say that Will actually do what they want. Most just keep saying that, over and over. Because something always comes up. Fuck. As for the orgasms part of my philosophy, Sex is the second most sought after thing, after money. But it’s considered taboo. Which is bullshit. Everyone loves it, and it keeps our species alive. A negative attitude towards sex causes ignorance. If it were widely accepted and discussed Proper knowledge would save more lives than anything. Kids these days have sex to rebel, because it’s something they are not supposed to do but in school they are simply told not to do it at all Instead of how to do it properly and safely. Which leads to rebellious, misinformed kids fucking and getting pregnant at 16 Because they thought they could just flip a condom inside out and pass it to a friend for him to use. It’s a simple philosophy I know will never come to fruition unless the world ends and we get to start again or something. But just because we can't do it to the fullest That doesn't mean all the points are moot Money can still exist, but peoples fixation on it should decrease. If you can't simply give up a possession that isn’t needed to survive Then you are an asshole, stuff is stuff. Get the fuck over it. Some stuff is nicer than other stuff, sure. I’m not perfect, I love new clothes, but I don’t need them. And I agree it is the right thing to do, paying back debts to corporations But just remember, at your funeral, those corporations won’t be there Praising you for how on time you paid your bills. The orgasm part is easy, Adults in charge of schooling are idiots. Stop being scared and trying to pass that fear onto the children In hopes they don't have sex. Instead teach them what it’s for and that it’s natural to experiment with Teach them safe sex and treat them like fucking equals. Nobody likes being talked down too. More knowledgeable kids will result in sex being more positive. Stupid rebellious kids will result basically how things are now. Any reality teen pregnancy show. Handshakes and Orgasms.
