Induced Inclinations
Most youth nowadays have the unnatural inclination to run away from pain and hardship. They insist on regressing to the part of their lives on which they had experienced bliss and comfort - high school. They always have the desire to take whatever is right in front of them even if it is of inferior quality just because it is the most convenient and easiest to reach. Do you know who the main culprit is? He's everywhere and your eyes have clouded over it's more unpleasant consequences because it surrounds you with it's cloud of comfort and pleasure. Ah yes. Technology.
By criticizing this "Technology", I'm not advocating for a return to primitive life but where is the alarm which will sound when technology reaches the point where it makes people physically and mentally weak? Who is it that dictates what it is to improve or deserve? Have we grown so used to technology that when it breaks down we will forget the way our ancestors do it and panic, losing all will to act?
I observe a growing inclination of humanity to observation rather than participation. They tend to give in to the negative voices within that tell them to go slow; to take it easy. But the problem is that life is not that easy. You may be experiencing convenience and bliss today but I believe that there is somehow balance in this sick universe of ours, one day the suffering that you have for so long tried to evade will catch up with you. This is an overly simplified view on the human culture today and there are many factors to consider, but with a few bottles of beer et ceteris paribus with the two comparisons, we can conclude that.
Do you also notice the sudden abundance of health products populating the market recently? Humanity is investing in it's own fall for the more healthy the humans are, the more destructive nature is gonna be to regulate the number of humans that walk it's surface. And mind you, there are many evil persons out there taking every step to ensure their long life - be careful of them.
Therefore as a way to reduce the number of human scum walking her surface, Mother Earth will be forced to take the following steps:
a. Resurrect Hitler
b. Develop new weapons of mass destruction esp. biological weapons
c. World War III
d. Spawn incompetent/stupid persons that will kill themselves and others out of their sheer stupidity.
This is a very harsh thing to say but only a set number of organisms can live and occupy an environment. Either we migrate, or decimate. And by migrate, I mean migrating to other planets, therefore eventually populating the universe with human scum.
Well, after that long rant, let's get back to the topic. We can say that everything is at hand for easy access for the modern urbanite. Go to the mall, less commonly known as the "Temple Of Commercialism" as I like to call it, where everything is for sale, where you could get everything you want.
The modern urbanite has now learned a very valuable lesson; he/she had learned to conform. What choices are available to him/her other than the objects for sale? What other choices are accepted? Well, the choices that are accepted are made by the corporations owning the mall, so you really have no choice, if you are a typical conformist, that is to say. Also, being in a mall brings you convenience and if you really shy away from inconvenience that much then you would have to settle for what's in the mall. Unless otherwise that you search or much better, create what you want. Therefore, we could conclude that the market can and are influencing the consumers. They could glamorize the image of malnutrition and having a disproportionate body by making a lamp post with two volleyballs affixed to her chest beautiful and of course the urbanite would accept it. Why? Because it's the option that the manipulators are giving him/her and you, being a conformist, would have no choice to obey because everybody sees it as beautiful, so why not?
The modern urbanite had forgotten to create, to see for themselves their true and personal image on what is right and wrong, what should and should not be. The modern urbanite had learned to subscribe to the 'bland tasteless philosophy' that the masses or more specifically, the manipulators advertise to the people just because it would be convenient to take on another person's beliefs and stands.
The urbanite had forgotten to reach to their own philosophies through their own rational mind. Use your mind, body and soul before it atrophies from disuse.
Please turn away from that TV set and see for yourself. See for yourself your own view of the world without the media's prejudice.
