A Fishbowl of Ignorance

 

Who are you?

What kind of a person are you?

What are your thoughts...  fears... concerns?

What do you like/dislike?

Are you creative?

Are you imaginative?

What foods do you like?

What do you do on vacation?

Do you like animals?

Are you obsessed with sports?

Many of us spend our entire lives just living our lives without ever thinking about what kind of a person we are...  mainly because nobody gives a shit...  but, that does not mean that we should not think about it.  Our spouses sometimes want to know what kind of a person we are before they agree to marry us, but once the deed it done, they don't give a shit either...  they just live with us hoping we will show them a good time and help out with the finances.

We seem to be living life in a fish bowl of ignorance...  a fish bowl because most of us really do care about what others think of us and ignorance because we don't want to look out around us and see what is going on...  many of us don't even know who our current President is and what he is doing or if he is doing what we want him to do...  who really cares about anything outside of what we are currently doing?

I have neighbors on all sides of me and hardly ever see them and really cannot remember their names if they even shared them with me.  How many of you are in the same situation?

What we do

• You go to work and go home.
• You watch TV, listen to the radio or read a book.
• You go to bed and begin again the next day.
• On the weekends you might work in the yard.
• You might go to the store.
• You might go to church.
• You might go play golf or go fishing or shopping.
• You may drive your kids around to their activities.
• You may go out to dinner or visit with friends.
• You talk about what you do and the weather
• You don't talk about culture or global issues or work
• You drink alcohol, play pool or cards

The sad thing about all of this is that you let others do your thinking and consequently follow their advice - so in reality they are telling you what to do...  you are hollow inside and just do what you need to do to survive and get along...  never wanting to rock the boat or try to inact change.

You are a perfect citizen for the WEALTHY TO CONTROL...
