Paranoia

Earlier this past week I have thought to myself, "am I just paranoid or are there things going on behind the scenes of our government and private worlds?" I guess you could call me a conspiracy theorists, but the more knowledgeable I become about the world around me the more I realize how ignorant I have always been.

Think about this for a second, how many individuals watch TV or movies in a day? I would say that a significant amount of individuals are behind some sort of screen producing images that are created to make a blockbuster film for money. The scenes are meticulously put together in order to evoke an emotion from the audience. Whether it is two lovers meeting for the first time in a perfect setting, a couple fighting, domestic violence, teen pregnancy, intervention shows, crime shows, tournament poker, sports, news, or a bunch of college kids trying to have sex and get completely wasted they all contain some type of image that many people try to emulate subconsciously.

You may say to yourself, "yeah right....I don't do that" but in all reality, you know that you do. You are influenced by commercials on getting in shape, beauty products, axe spray, pharmacutical cures with hundreds of side effects, car commercials and so many others. It isn't in just one place either it is everywhere we go....our cars, on planes, on trains, in waiting rooms, in public bathrooms......it's everywhere.

Ask yourself this questions....Is this what life is supposed to be about? Am I supposed to be living everyday to work and buy products and merchandise that puts me in debt and takes away from time with my family?

For those who say that is what you are supposed to be doing, you are arrogant and haven't seen other areas around the world that are suffering, even within your own borders. Men and women without health care are dying everyday, children are starving inside of homes and others suffer from addiction and abuse. Where does all of this stem from? What could it be?

Could it be the endless corruption like the love of money, lustful advertisements, pornography targeting younger women, the shows about drinking and having sex, the shows about becoming a celebrity, dancing with the stars, American Idol, could it be the game shows about obese people losing weight....... We think that happiness is being sexually attractive, having nice things, lots of money, a nice house, and a perfect family with higher education and going golfing. Does anyone else see anything wrong with this picture? We are being programmed and we can't even see it. WAKE UP! I wish I could just grab everyone and shake the crap out of them until they start opening their eyes, but they never will.

Go buy your starbucks latte, hit the gym, judge others by their appearance, and date the good looking man or woman that boosts your confidence, and live a life that is filled with meaningless bullshit. Fuck it, ill choose poverty and happiness over bullshit. It isn't hard to read people, all you have to do is look at what they are all about. Separate yourself out of the bag overflowing with bad apples, and plant a seed of goodness in the few places left in the world.
