The Human Condition (just an opinion)

The first thing that comes to mind about us humans is that we are extremely vunerable to manipulation and we have most certaily been manipulated in the last few years. I'm sure it hasn't always been so, but I may be wrong. It seems to me we have regressed into children lining up for our school meals, or getting a house point for being a good little pupil. The nanny state has much to do with this and the more we comply, the more they will bully us with controlled information. We are drowning in information but starved of knowledge, consequently wisdom has become a redundant companion who's services are no longer fashionable. The wise man has been put out with the trash along with faith, hope and compassion.A life of experience has been lost to rationalisation and the failure of common sense, the loss of social togetherness and depersonalisation of individuals. No man is an island and we most certainly need one another but we all need our individuality to express ourselves without the clumsy arm of political manipulation aided by the control centres of media and their minions of sycophantic ladder climbers. What the hell happened to us? We became soft and when you become so, you're more malleable to be bent and shaped by weak chinless wonders who seek control to satisfy their huge inflated ego's. Such people are usually in the corridors of power having crawled there from under a rock pursuing their love of money and their millionaire status. You may ask why millionaires are so greedy. The reality is that they are millionaires because they are greedy. The five enemies of man are avarice, ambition, envy, anger and pride and these are the sparks the lit the match that set the fire in mens hearts to pursue their lust. Banishing these five things would free the world completely....... but that would be akin to the camel passing through the eye of a needle. A Biblical quote if you please. In my life I have witnessed many acts of kindness and compassion none of which came from Rich people. In my experience poor people share what they have, rich people take what you've got and then sell it back to you with interest. Our current situation is one of chaos and mayhem, some say it's by design and that certainly wouldn't surprise me. Today there's an attack in France, last week one in Ireland and there have been many more in countries all over Europe we rarely get to here about. The overall situation is one of fear and confusion a situation that usually precedes great change....The problem is, will that great change be what we want. Looking back in history will find the answer... The problem being, which history do you believe because history is being rewritten at an alarm rate by the very people we should be aware of......the new radicals entrenched in academic serene senior haven for scholars... the dons.......people who never actually left school and were probably always teachers pet. The chosen people it seems. Now who chooses the chosen people? For me the chosen people are those who are promoted by others and therefore assume that they are better than everyone else. Show me a man that doesn't bleed and I'll show you someone special, if you don't bleed you're either dead or heartless. Make no mistake we are ruled by heartless people, those who have privilege written through them like Brighton rock, the ones that assume power over us by their birthright, the ones with no shame or conscience, the ones who look you straight in the eye while stabbing you in the back with no emotion what so ever.Let's take it one stage further. Who are more special than anyone else? The special people of course, are chosen by the omnipotent one. Now that most certainly offers up the poison chalice, to be sipped by the innocent and the gullible at their very own peril. I'll leave you with these thoughts and say goodnight on this December Sunday evening.
