Traipsing Down Myopic Lane

It's little wonder to me the state of affairs our culture is in. A culture that is becoming another form of the word... Fermented like a block of putrid Tempe mixed with the fecal matter of bacterial excrement topped with a dollop of neon pink bubblegum!

We run about this land like a nest of angry fire ants, driving our plastic and 18 gauge semi-steel cars, yammering on our phones, eating, applying lipstick and generally not giving two shits about how fast we drive or who's in our way! We go to work trying run up! Up! The ziggurat!! Ever chasing little green pieces of paper of ever lessening value. Most of this dedicated to buying trinkets to fill that big unrealized emptiness we possess collectively. We fight each other about politics, race, religion, even the color of the fucking sky it would seem! All while some other shiftier, better connected asshole takes away more of ALL of our rights in the name of security. We become ever more morose and resentful, uncaring... Life becomes confusing so we spend endless hours watching some other stiff embarrassing themselves on national tv, all swearing it's funny, entertaining, or truly enjoyable.
Would you like to know why all of this is??? You don't really care??? Too bad... I'm gonna tell ya anyway. POWERLESSNESS!
WTF?! You say. Angry's finally lost what little mind he had! Au Contraire!
If for one moment you believe you've got some kind of power in this Mortal Coil, you are mistaken my friend! I'm not talking about A.C. power either! Ultimately, none of us do. Even the Prez., or
your boss, or the United Fucking Nations for that matter! You see, it is the pursuit of and lurking realization that we don't have any, that people make this world a much worse place in which to live! Once realizing you neither possess the power to breath, hear, see, sweat, control your thoughts much less those of others; one of a couple things happen. You do like the vast majority of other humans do. You drive yourself and those around you stark raving mad; you know, the kind of mad that makes for terrorist bombings, wars, political dissension, driving like a retard, Twittering (cause you know everybody loves narcissism), obsessive tv and porn viewing, the list is too immense to go further! You get the drift though.

The other way to go, which few follow, is looking inward. You know, like treating another as you would like to be treated. Following a path that causes the least strife for others you come into contact with, the TRUE thought behind selfishness, meaning you wouldn't do something to another that would eventually come back to bite you in the ass! That kind of selfishness! Sound alien?! I thought so. When the cultural blinders have been in place so long, it's generally very difficult to see what I'm talking about.
Also coupled with this line of existence, is when one comes to terms with powerlessness it frees one from ALL other constraints i.e. being a victim looking for retaliation or "justice"! Or how about having to cheat to get what's wanted? Or lying about even the most mundane things? Possibly even being more interested in your favorite sports team rather than being interested in your significant other or kids!?
Still can't fathom what I'm saying?
Well join 95% of the rest of your fellow hominids!!
That's why we're going down the shitter!! Want to know more? Ask me...


P.S. Sorry no pic's Chief this one is all mobile and don't have the time for 'em!
