They watch tv; Why do they watch tv?!; Isn't it obvious that all is fake, insipid and empty; What hypnotizes them in those tinseled wriggling images?; Do they lack neurons connections?; Do they lack goals and passions?; Did they give up on knowledge?; Are they drained, blunted, and did they surrender on life?; What brainwashing and vegetative job do they devote to?; Honestly, are people plainly dumb or are they manipulated by the system?; Do the system could be so powerful and coercitive, that it becomes impossible for a human mind to unravel and shut down the decoys??? There's just some questions i can't find an answer for, maybe because i'm not in the system like the way the shepherds would like i am; What do they get from their boring life? Is money the only motivation, a room of one's one and a plate of hardly earned food in such suraboundance that their bodies turn unhealthy of "healthy aliments"?, a dressed slum cramed with, one says , the so precious furnitures... and more... and more... way too much more... that the planet is gnawed like a juicy nut; Am i too disconnected to understand, i know i'm not the fool, but maybe i'm too high in what is qualified by the mob as "useless".
If i'm a useless, lazy, mad, embarrasing parasite then they surely are deprived of logic, reasonning and common sense, what an irony.
Wonderful writing! I thought of a similar question today and i concluded my ponderings with reasoning that others are just too plain and don't doubt enough in their life.
RépondreSupprimerI really like how you said this: "...that the planet is gnawed like a juicy nut" eh eh that's great imagery! I smile greatly reading you this evening.
I think the world lacks doubt; people are afraid to question because they fear being out of the system (and the system has brainwashed them to believe in measuring success with lavish material possessions). Clearly questioning leads to frustration and nonacceptance of the system. So we are left to either boil in rage because we don't function how the system intended, or we live how we want to live and just manipulate the system.
I think there's a giant mob of people who live their life according to the system, and very few like us who reject it and dare to live by their own beliefs.
This makes me wonder, why is it that everyone is so keen on accepting the system without a doubt and others like us have such a different view of life? What caused us to question everything? If we are a product of our environment, what causes certain people to question and develop their own beliefs while there are so many others who just do what they are told they should do?
Is it in our nature to be thinkers?
I had thought of these questions you ask. One of my class assignments asked for a monologue to start with some kind of "personal enigma" that I don't have an answer to. And this baffles me because there's nothing about me that I don't know. There is no personal mystery because i know myself. It appears the majority do not know themselves! So I guess my question can be...and remains...how can others live fulfilling lives if they don't know themselves?!
They must be like functions in a game, they do what they are programmed and stay in their place.
I can't imagine living like that, jeez that's not living that's just being.
You're great! eh eh "what an irony" nice
