I was told the other night that i am a idiot for not understanding consumerism and i should hide under a rock if i do not want to be a part of the greater whole, but what is this so called greater whole? When i look around and see how the world has turned its back on the things that are right (nature, spiritualism and family values) and focus on the things that are before me ( plastic, cheap and to me a world of illusion) it hurts deep down inside how we can fall for such parlor tricks. Do you not see how phony things have become? We now live in a sense of gleam and follow anything that makes money, our hero's are as phony as the movies they portray, there values have become our values and when they have no soul what good are these people to tell us how to live. All we are is molds and society has been shaping us since the 1960's with television and movies, you are not this without a ipod you are not cool unless you wear this type of clothes. buy buy buy is the new freedom chant and the worst thing about it is now we have rolled over and let them do this to us. "what are our children going to become when T.V. is there babysitter?" spoiled money hungry people who have no idea who there own identify since they are cookie cut into what society wants them to be a generation of spenders. Only concerned about themselves but not thinking that if they took a little time away from shopping or the idiot box and spent a little time within there community they might be able to do some sort of change. Yesterday was another waking moment for me, i use to watch this guy on youtube and i thought he was a pretty funny and alright guy. he told the truth and was not afraid to say many things. but i was looking threw my blind eyes and when i opened them i saw what he truly was just another actor selling me stuff that i really do not need to buy. And when i stated that fact to the other people they just told me why not sell products when you have so many people watching? I looked at his little picture above his name and there he was holding a stack of bills and laughing, but i new he was laughing at us. For buying into his crap into his illusion that he hide so well from me let alone anyone else. i always thought i could see threw most bullshit but the way they are bombarding us with images just in the back of the frame or selected names from the lips when used in rants. i admit i was fooled and i can not believe i let him into my house while he was lying to me (not really in my house i am sure you know what i mean)
