The Shadows...
I got the idea the other night, while walking Oscar.
It's the SHADOWS!
TV and magazines and electric lights and motorcars and fancy possessions distract us all from the REAL WORLD IN WHICH WE LIVE, yet there is one thing that nothing they've made can hide or eradicate; shadows!
And what's more, it is our fear of the shadows which highlights what I am trying to say! We fear the shadow because we KNOW the TELEVISION! We are familiar and so we are comfortable! Yet if we step into the dark and embrace it, we can actually see how the light is an annoyance, a hindrance to what we need and want, and worst of all, a mask upon the world which makes us see the planet as dollars, steel, concrete and paper.
They'll tell you to ignore the shadows, look at the shiny objects, a new car, a new type of fridge which tells you how much cheese you should be eating. But they want you to ignore the world because they have power over you: you give them your money.
This society hides reality from us all from the day we are born, and it needs to end if there is to be any hope for us as a race.
What really makes me sad, is that today, I don't believe we even deserve one. I'm sorry, everyone, but you are all just so MINDLESS!
Why would anyone want to save ANY of us?
Nonetheless, I sit here, holding some kind of hope for a better world... *sigh*
