When I was in school (a long time ago!) when I thought about
the future I saw clean streets, efficient and affordable public transport for
all( and maybe flying cars!) and people enjoying a healthier and happy lives,
and I can say with that when I look at the world today I am utterly disgusted!
The amount of litter on the streets is appalling and it goes to show where the
true priorities of this country lie, because most of the garbage you see on the
streets belongs to that of multimillion dollar fast food chains and the local
copy cats. What people refuse to get into their heads is that these fast food
places are all about exploiting you, and that also is the way private
businesses and the government do, all they do is prey on your weaknesses and
try and turn it into a profit for them.
Has anyone ever noticed that the worse off a neighborhood
is, the more fast food places there are? The population would have to be incredibly
stupid to believe that this food is actually good for them, but the sad fact is
that many people don’t put that much priority on their health, and why I hear
you ask? Stupidity is a major component
but also people believe they don’t
have enough time or money. The fact that they don’t have enough time is a sheer
lie because it doesn’t take much time to make a healthier choice, and also for
the work that people are actually doing, you don’t need that much food.
People who complain that they don’t have enough money to eat
healthier should understand that the cost of something like cancer is a whole
lot more! The main reason why they don’t have money for good quality food is
simply because they believe having the latest iphone or outfits are more
important. I strongly disagree with this, people should understand that the cost
of having last year clothes is nothing compare to ingesting that crap everyday!
An intelligent individual would understand that, but the
average individual is not intelligent and the main cause of that is the media. The
media has to at least take part of the blame for the negative trend when it
comes to the intellectual pool of our society. The media does its upmost best
to promote movies and TV programmes that have poor dialogue, an even worst
script and is purely there to distract you from your meaningless consumer
driven lives, whereas before you were an active participant and you were always
made to think about difficult and often controversial issues, now you’re just a
passive observer and told to but as much movie merchandise as possible.
This is not just a problem in the entertainment medium but
also the news, one would think that the news is purely around to inform you
about all the major issues around the world, not anymore! Now they have gotten
it into their heads that they have to be entertaining and they purposefully
simplify complex issues because they
have realized that the new target audience will not understand anything
other than sound bites, and the main reason why the population has ended up
this way is because they have been constantly exposed to this form of media, it
is a vicious cycle that will lead to an increasingly dumb society.
It makes one wonder that would benefit from having a society
full of idiots? The first thing that pops into my mind is the Government. The average Joe might not believe that the
people they elected to serve the people would intestinally want to keep the
public ignorant and oblivious when it comes to the running of the country, but
if they have no real resistance from the public they can get away with anything
they want to, for example they can rob the people and make them feel like they deserved
it and that it was inevitable! Just one
of many examples.
I implore you all to question more and stop blindly accepting the fact
that the rich deserve to rich and you deserve to live in the gutter. The rich
are just greedy ba**rds that have become so adept at committing fraud it has
become second nature.
