Hello cass-buds. :) For some reason tonight I was in the mood to do some writing. I kind of like what came out of it so far, but open to suggestions and proofreading. I'm not the best with grammar.
I sort of starting writing what I believe could serve as an introductory piece to a blog, some general outline of the topics i'll discuss and so forth. This isn't done by a fricking long shot, but it's the first step. I've considered calling it "please excuse me while i blow your mind", if that name is not taken already . So here it is, apologies for the length, i'll space it out so it's easy to read. :D Like i said, feel free to say anything about it.
Some people...those you would call regular people or "the average joe", wake up everyday, go to their jobs,
come home for a while to enjoy themselves, and go to bed. Throughout this, however, there is not much thought,
as to why we do this, why we follow these patterns of behavior, but more importantly, there is no thought given to
the world around him in which HE LIVES. When I tell you this, that there is no thought given to one's own environment,
what I am meaning is not just simply reading the paper or watching the news. A man cannot and will not get any
real information from the newspaper or television, he may get bits and pieces, partial understandings, hunches, speculations,
many things but NEVER A REAL ANSWER.
Because of this, their extremely narrow perception of reality, based on tiny SCRAPS
of information, can never figure out the big picture of what is going on in the world. He forgets an event very soon after he
reads about it, regarding it as insignificant in the grand scope of things. It is even worse when one watches television,
having one's brainwaves ALTERED by it into a non-thinking, non-questioning state, with audio suggestions liberally added
thereunto. He believes that a politician is a politician, a doctor a doctor, and his preacher a preacher, with hardly any
disagreement. He believes the government is doing their best, despite the conditions he witnesses every day. The supernatural
and the unexplained only exist in films for him, as fantasy. Whatever is not tangible is an afterthought, if not totally
ignored.
The type of people I am speaking of are those completely unaware of the real source of many of the world's
problems and shortcomings. They suspect something of course, but their environment is simply not designed to
help them be intelligent and insightful, questioning and vigilant, healthy and aware.
An outdated educational system, still touting the importance of rote learning, which one does not retain most of
the time, drills into their skulls mounds of information that for the most part is worthless. It does not help them
learn or grow, it teaches them to submit to authority. It crushes the very soul of a person to sit in a room, day after
day, year after year, slowly being turned into mere robots. They are merely meant to be cogs in a machine!
They are taught much, yes, but in the end have learned very little. With only 4 basic subjects and a choice of
elective classes for some, one can never obtain a clear understanding of the world. How many other subjects are
there besides math, science, history, and language? There are many sub categories in these subjects that are NOT
covered EVER, because then people would ask more questions. No one is supposed to ask questions. No one is supposed
to know how to think. Why? That is not what is wanted by our government, religions, and other institutions, who use
us all as slaves.
To even begin to understand why the world is the way it is, and WHO BENEFITS, it is important to begin with questions.
Questions lead to answers, usually leading to more questions. You are never done questioning, ever, no matter how many
answers you get. Thats the depth and vastness of our reality. That's how much there is to know.
