WE will get the key. somehow.

This are the words from Steve Jobs in a video he did a long time ago:
“The thing I would say is when you grow up you tend to get told that the world is the way it is and your mission is just to live your life inside the world, try not to bash into the walls to much, try to have nice family life, have fun, save a little money… But that is a very limited life. Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact and that is everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you, and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use. The minute you understand that you can poke life and actually if you push something then something will pop out the other side, that you can change it, you can mold it. That is maybe the most important thing. To shake off this erroneous notion that life is there and that you are just going to live in it. Versus embrace, change it, improve it, make your mark upon it. I think that is very important. And however you learn that once you learn it, you will want to change life and make it better because it is kind of messed up in a lot ways. once you learn that you will never be the same again”.
My plan was to just upload this transcription. But while transcribing it I realized that maybe that is the exact mentality millennials have been born with. We have been told we have the power to change the world. We have been told that ourselves, as individuals of such a perfect society, that seems like if it was built for us by our fighting fathers and mothers, have the power and the responsibility to do something. That got us into thinking that we are all geniuses in something, that we just must keep pushing until we find it, until we found our path. But the reality is we did nothing to deserve what we have, and they expect us to change the world on our own but they give us no believes. They give us all the material things one could dream of to start rolling, but they didn’t give us nothing to believe in, no moral, ethical or world view to start building our owns personas. Just a blank paper, one in which an eighteen-year-old must plan her/his life, from what to believe to how to live it. As a result, we have nothing in our brains, nothing but mess. ¿What do we really have? the same repetitive problems once and again because the structures that make them are so big you can’t even imagine touching them, so therefore there is no way we change them. We have all the resources in our fingertips but the real power at our fingertips is nothing. You frustrated us making us believe we have all this power at our fingertips to change things but, what is real change that Facebook or Instagram can help us produce? None. The only help those platforms make is been the drug, the distraction to keep us confused and lost there. Those are the platforms that help the other bigger structures keep doing their thing destroying the world we all live in, exploiting everything that habits these earth in order to be able to send us the products we saw in Facebook or Instagram. So, stop saying shit about this generation, because we are facing probably a more scary and mental problem than you. Because our fight, I believe, is not in the streets, is first on the minds of each young individual, who has to find its way to live his or her life trying not get absorb by this addictive apps. So, we might have a huge opportunity in our hands, but what we without exception have is a toxic device and we have too much time with it already, we are already intoxicated. A device of mass disengagement, of mass depression, of caged freedom.
Because is an illusion of freedom. It’s like if that promised freedom is on the other side of the glass but we can only see through. Nobody gave us the key. But this is not a lost battle. In any way. We will get it. Sooner or later. We will get our promised freedom and our promised capacity to make change happen.
