Roses are red

Violets are a shade of red mixed with blue

I am tired of the media dementia candy drinks that are forced down every throat.  Look everyone smoke and mirrors yet again!  There isn’t a vision for the future.  There is only freight and fear with play money that isn’t worth the paper it is printed on.  In this reality I am not being pessimistic about this Three Card Monte side show of a life that is supposedly forced upon us.  Heck I kind of understand what is going on.  It is all made up.  It isn’t real.  I am going to close my mind to all the animal farm games because it is not real to me.  There isn’t a plan.  There isn’t any guidance.  To me most of the outside world is a sham.  How come when I meet people from all over the place it is almost always the same; people being real however when I watch the tele I am shown how dreadful and rehearsed life is.  There is a huge difference in what is and what is given.

 

Why do you think that is?  Are we not really supposed to grow up?  Are we just supposed to exist to be taken advantage of?  Are we just cattle or better yet just sheeple?  What is the real purpose for humanity beyond what is given to be true? 

 

When is the next renaissance based on advancing our people and not our profit coming?

I think we're here to learn life lessons. If it takes showing us how self-indulgent, materialistic and superficial our societies have become through tv ads to make at least a few of us question our existence and want to look a little deeper, then so be it. TV is a powerful yet distorted medium but sadly many really do believe it reflects life and what we need to have to be happy, fulfilled etc. Me, I prefer to try find out my own way what life means to me and why I'm here. I'm still working on it but at least I'm not glassy eyed in front of a goggle box 24/7.

Yes, I believe we're supposed to grow up. or at least grow and develop our humanity. Whether we choose to or not is entirely up to us though. Some people like the safety in numbers of being one of the herd and some prefer to stride out for their own horizons and seek answers instead of filling their lives with "busy" things. When the latter outnumbers the former, you'll see the next renaissance - slow but sure, but it's happening I feel.

Of course it's an illusion. Speaking of which, ever read Illusions by Richard Bach? I think you might like it. :)

I like the back a way slowly. I have always been around those who use tv as there fact based lifestyle. So in a way I am watching tv through the responses I get from them.

As for the progress I speak of is of the self. If what we have now is the top of our evolution then I have to go beyond that limit.

Part I

What do you mean by the 'advancing' of people... isn't it the marching advance of 'progress' that has gotten us to where we are? But then again, hasn't it always been the same anyways? Maybe looking to the past for authenticity is as useless as hoping for it in the future. How's that for pessimism? I like to think of optimism/pessimism as circular rather than linear; as a true pessimist, I see everything as so completely f'd that really there's nothing we can change, therefore nothing to bother worrying about, so I guess I am functionally more of an optimist.

What is given to be true, anyways?

P.S. - Do you now own a tv? Maybe you need to look into getting rid of it. Seriously, go find the nearest home full of sheeple and leave your tv in a basinette on their doorstep. Or maybe you don't own a tv, but your friends do? Since when did you start hanging with the tv-watching crowd? This concerns me. Put the remote down, and back away slowly.
