Too
often these days I see people too impatient to read through a ten minute
snippet of text. They say such famous lines as 'tl;dr' and 'you didn't
have to write a book'.
The problem is that a single word can
change the meaning of an entire body of words laid together; depending
on the word. To summarize anything in simple and concise sentences
leaves a lot out that should be explained. It allows
too much for people to infer various different things from a single
point of origin; some times things that the original person who said the
words never intended.
Those of us that continue to spread
those concise statements see the things we like to see and expect others
to see the same things, not realizing the differing viewpoints that
would allow even the most basic of messages to become altered and skewed
to fit an individuals perspective.
A frightening large amount
of people no longer have the patience or attention span to have
something fully explained to them, and this is by design. From our
cartoons to our social media, everything is designed for the person on
the fly; the person with too much going on to pay attention fully to
things they should; a person too caught up in the proceedings of society
to take a moment to value things as they should; too caught up in
chasing things they think are important that they fail to actually see
what is important.
Where there is confusion, there is chaos;
where there is chaos, there is man fighting his fellow man, allowing
enterprising people who care little for such things to reach out and
grab power and control of the world and its people for their own
machinations. Distract the public, get them fighting each other and
paying attention to things of little to no importance. Sleight of hand,
like the US President and Congress:
"Please pay attention to the dancing monkey in the suit while we conduct our business in private. Thank you."
In the end, it's just another illusion; another magic trick; designed
to deceive the public and getting them to believe in things that aren't
at all important to the overall scheme of things and if they were to
look behind the trick, they would be sorely disappointed with what they
saw.
Another thing capitalized on is peoples ego. "We know so
much that we have no reason to learn anything new, unless it's really
interesting."
We are a nation of sheep that thinks they are
wolves in sheep clothing and therein lays our downfall, because in our
egotism and vanity, we fail to see that we are truly sheep and the true
sheep in wolves clothing are far more diabolical and scheming than most
of us have ever dreamed of being.
If this weren't the way of
things; if people listened to wisemen instead of people in positions of
authority who speak out their arses; things would be entirely different
in the world and there would not be so much suffering.
Too long
have the good and wise among mankind kept silent or been corrupted; too
long has this all gone on. From era to era, generation to generation,
person to person. This is not nature; this is insanity.
From subconscious to conscious; from conscious to word; from word to pen; from pen to paper; from paper to eyes; from eyes to conscious; from conscious to subconscious. Insanity is a state of mind which every human suffers from, but few realize their own insanity or the insanity of those around them, for some forms of insanity are considered to be the norm. Mankind has chased insanity since the dawn of our existence and now we see it staring us down; our demons unleashed from Pandora's Box at our own curiousity's request; those that come before us setting the pace for our insanity by following the paths of those that came before them and them before them. Our suffering; entirely our own creation, though far removed and the creation of a different generation; when will we waken from our cooperative nightmare and begin to truly experience life as was first intended?
