The 'cult' in culture.

When I say "The People" I mean the majority of the world. Obviously when I say 'everyone' it does not literally mean everyone. But the people who live in the world of today feel obliged to turn on their televisions tend to appreciate all the bad news and feel somewhat relieved that bad luck had not struck them, but someone else.

No one is looking at the positives anymore. The world now seems a dark place in which criminals loom around just waiting for the perfect time to strike you. I've come to know people who are led to believe every single drop of information squeezed out by the media. The media is a critical group of people who suck a story dry. They tell of both sides, a third person, a fourth person, the editor, the feedback and an assumption of the story. Through this vicious chain comes nothing but a stretched truth, or even a lie.

The world is a beautiful place, full of life, wonder and prosperity but the culture that we live in spoon-feeds us to the point where we care about how we look, where we care about what other people think, where we care about who is looking outside of their own window. If people live in constant paranoia, by the end of their lives all the 'what ifs' will come to pass and our own man-made culture will be the cause of our demise. It's an almost guaranteed ill-fate.

There is more to living than the money you make, there is more to living than the way you look, there is more to living than the clothes you wear. There is so much more to life.

Don't be blind.
