Clocks keep ticking, the sun keeps rising and setting down, the wind keeps blowing, the rain keeps pouring and the rivers still flow. Yet, individuals are not always there. They come and go. Babies are born in different month and different pressure of the air. People die due to accidents, too old to survive, sickness, or even they just die with no reason at all. Some people get too famous, some people get ignored, some people get too rich, some people get too poor, some people get too smart and some people get too retarded.
What has brought these people to such different characters and being in different boxes? What has driven them to say what they want to say and do what they want to do? Who has led them to write songs and poems or to paint pictures?
Being sure to what self has been thinking and feeling. Moreover being reliant to self or being independent has created people to have their own individual characteristics. What about people who are too dependent too others? These dependent people have been thinking (by themselves) that they need to associate with others, so they make alliance. I will say that those dependent people are independently sure and convinced that they have to be dependent.
Should there be a debate that cultures and education have formed people, allow me to ask you how were those education and cultures set-up? None will believe if those are not convincing. People will believe based on their thinking and feeling and moreover to what they have seen.
Another point of view is that education and cultures are set-up based on experiences. From the experiences then they connect the missing links and …. abracadabra … a theory, a belief, a way of thinking was born and based on the real and visible experiences they convince people to follow. It has to come to people’s logic. Theory makers will do hard to convince people that the theory is right and appropriate. But how are those theory makers sure that it is right?
So there are theories made by theory makers.
How do you choose them?
How are you sure that being consumerism is right?
How are you sure that having simple life is giving happiness?
How are you sure that corruption is wrong?
How are you sure that being gay is fine?
How are you sure that religions give you after-death happiness guarantee?
How are you sure that sex before marriage is fine?
How are you sure that virginity is important?
How are you sure that giving without taking is noble?
How are you sure that friendship is a sweet responsibility?
How are those punk people come to DIY ethic?

DIY ethic
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from DIY punk ethic)

Main articles: DIY culture and Do it yourself
The DIY ethic (do it yourself ethic) refers to the ethic of being self-reliant as opposed to relying on professionals. It once referred to hardware stores in Britain
that supplied the home handyperson or amateur repair people with tools. Today the term can indicate "doing" anything from healthcare to interior design, from publication to electronics.
DIY questions the uniqueness of the expert's expertise, and promotes the ability of the ordinary person to learn to do more than he or she thought was possible.
The DIY ethic is loosely tied to Punk ideology and anticonsumerism, in as much as it amounts to a rejection of the idea that one must always purchase the things that one wants or needs from others.
The DIY punk ethic can also extend to how any group or individual applies DIY political stances to daily life—especially how they avoid contributing to institutions they see as exploitive. These efforts include converting cars to run on biodiesel or vegetable oil, learning bicycle repair, sewing/repairing/modifying clothing, starting gardens, dumpster diving, etc. To a certain extent, DIY is simply a way of finding ad hoc solutions to problems that are otherwise usually solved with wealth or corporate support.
