This Too Shall Pass and Become Another's Day

Whenever I find myself alone and able to think (somewhat for myself) I always realize the same thing: this too shall pass.
 
No wonder the great thinkers of the world in written histories have spent so much time developing ways for people to relax and unwind. They were telling us all- life is long, take time to relax. 

We as the combined peoples of this planet have so many demands put on us to be this, or to think that, and to say this, that we too often speak without any real thought.  It is simply our habit of condoning the habitual face of living when in reality living has become more of a noun than a verb.
 
The businesses of the world is said to move at the speed of light and in all our humanity, we can't.  When developing leaders of our now world figured that out for themselves they built mega-structured computers to do all their work for them.  The  afore mentioned leaders around the world realized they could give us only glimpses of their reality with smaller samples of their actual doings to persuade our thinking into believing they are either this, or that.  Hence forth making us, average citizens, either with them or against; on one side or the other.  We either repeat what they want us to believe or our truths are made lies and their lies shatter truths more than they will ever care to acknowledge and when we live as simple as we do and the complexity of all their unknowns become our realities we sit in silence for a lack of words.  After all, what decent well educated discernment can be made into anything rational when it's origins are all taken from a cest pool of untruths?

Humanity is goaded into being propaganda's goats and no, this is nothing new.  I have grown up with a variety of people and voices saying the same and no one really doing anything about it.  Remembering all the wisdom mingled with the ignorance from so many sources who said,  "if you can fix it, stop complaining and fix it.  If you can't find something else to do."  We really have no choice in the matter and that is displayed everyday in our "free society of the United States."   Where billions of immigrants have poured in over the years to build something they thought was for their selves and in the moments proceeding their makings, the takers were behind all the closed doors deciding on what they could do to take it.  Remember, our country is a country of immigrants from all other countries, and from those countries came all their ideas.  From the poorest farm hand escaping an approaching king who was on his way through their lands burning and murdering as he and his army went; to the rich kings who sent his own spies and militias in disguise to find out what was going on and find a way to have their part in it and take away from anyone who had found.     

The let them build it up with their hard labors and skin-flint monies then we'll take it club.  Admissions by invitations only.
  
Yeah well they label themselves as "we're on your side" and "people who represent you and your home town, your ideas and your way of life" but even as they spoke the thing controlling all their smirks and snorts says in whispered breaths, "yeah, tell them that.  We have a time proven stragedy that has been through every country, and every nation and with our proud smiles and highly educated language guarantees, we'll promise them everything and never honor our word.  A well provided way of escape from any recourse or any "liability" they know they will cause.  With bold letters on every thing from posters, to cups, to t-shirts and such they'll promise the average Jane and Joe,  "no voice is left unheard", except the ones who are doing the deceiving of course.  The reality of the real world is one thing and all their logo's and faces are declaring it as something else.
  
If the only freedom the world has is provided through pictures, films and words on T.V. and every other media surface then why do we pretend that that is life?  Maybe that's why so many of us watch those shows and relish in those types of stories.  Everyone on the screens are free to do what they want, become what they want, find a happy ending, resolve their conflicts, say what they want, go where they want and we - mindless simpletons - think yeah that's life.  That's freedom.  "That's where I'd like to go, what I'd like to try, if they can do it on television then why can't I?  All I have to do is..." and we create our own plan of achievement to do a few of the things that looked like fun, sounded like a good price, was offered as a package of freedom to explore the fabulous places not too far down the road.   Become better than what we were birthed into.  Just look at how much you can save on the travelling tickets if you start saving now, and purchase before then.
 
Reality walks in, all the daily chores that need attention happens, the day turns to night and then back into day and the many things that could of been are still only on T.V.  The old practice what you preach routines go through your mind, the reverberated gibberish of oh my god not another politician or personality who says one thing while the world carries us all around in their bundles of this and that, those well woven handbaskets, shipped factory direct straight out of hell, Now only $19.95 numbers are limited so order yours now.   

Ain't (yes, ain't is a word, look it up) ain't they all just a bunch of lawyers and actors sitting around running their mouths about how to continue their control of our minds anyways.

Seriously, that many law makers sitting around in buildings across our world, militarily armed around every corner, as close as our local towns saying, "we're holding the entire population of the earth on trial, without any citizens besides ourselves present, to decide when to take our profits and run and what to do about all you pesky little people while we do it.  Let's pretend we're debating or that there's some sort of opposition."
 
Television and radio stink up the air waves with all their wordy debates playing their own parts in our society wearing their masks of sainthood, masculinity, feminism and empowering others- offering cheap laughs and cheaper romances which lead to pathetic arguments of name change situations, cheap wine and lingerie while all the while, it's really nothing new.  Heaven help us all, now it's streamed "live?" over the internet straight to our phones.

 No big change ever, no real change ever and wouldn't you know all the celebrity politicians accuse the press while the press pays them to speak when they tell them to, smile or frown for the camera. Here, be somber and serious, and where's this guys wife?  He needs a wife.  That is what we need, a family looking unit to help deceive.   Here's some makeup to prevent the shine on your nose and your forehead.  Remember speak clearly and look at the marks we've designated, and here's a list of the actors, I'm sorry reporters who will ask you these questions.  Make sure you learn your lines and answer as it is written.  
 
But the politicians are the law makers and the lawmakers are the business men who can write their own bylaws and requirements and they do business with the T.V people and radio folks for "the drama, the hype, the controversy, it has to appear real folks!" And their speeches are nothing more than scripted words of the well paid actors acting like concerned news men who can dissect their "look back at the year 2018" while we over look the obvious since most of them live in immaculate housing on vast land expanses with land taxes waved because they all own this company and one's the major share holder and his family owns half of another country somewhere else.  

Seriously?   We're suppose to believe that average citizens have a chance of change with that as a reality?  

Together they present the world with,  "We'll provide this to you while we take all that you don't have yet and make it sound like we're debating some weirdo atrocity for your benefit." 

When basically it's a - they flip a coin in the air and shake hands in agreement to, "alright, it's your turn to pretend we care about these pathetic people who we entertain to destroy so I'll oppose you as usual again in defense of our deceptions.  When people turn on their phones, and their radios, and computers and TV's then there we'll all be looking as concerned as ever about - some rebellious, some unlawful, some god-damned outrageous, some harsh, heroic, disgraced event that never happened except on T.V. and radio.  By the way did you see the new set, it looks awesome don't it.  Well it has to look real to sell the idea of an actual event.  But the people don't know that and as long as we keep up our abilities and appearances they'll believe anything we tell them if that's what they think they want." 

Tell them what they want to hear theory.  It's just what happens since 1492 (else where many a thousands years before that) so people will spend their money on products made by their companies, that they have always protected more than people.

After all it's a free society and open market investing isn't it?  Yes, if you're them. 

Just ask the guys who had invested wisely over the years who found out their investments were sold to another company for half their worth, their earnings were lowered because of their business proposed cuts to streamline efficiency, and their interest rates went up because some foreign bank married a local company via the bank they had been banking with and then, they all invested in being crude together.  I mean in crude oil together.

 And what about the little lady next door who worked blue collar jobs all her life to have a little something for her elder self to have a vegetable garden to work in after she retired; who one day gets the notice that her health insurance payments went up along with gas prices and now she's limited to what an entire conglomerated monopoly wanted for her, rather than herself.  And she prays, "Lord help keep our leaders safe and give them the knowledge they need to protect our country."  While they thank her for her prayers and proclaim, "God Bless America"  and prey on her by adding another fee to her insurance bill, and charging her cash for her checkups after all of those years of paying her own way like she was taught to.
   
Can't you hear them now?, "An old woman in a garden with a watering hose talking to her plants so they'll grow will never be as important as the percentage rate I can get with all these people thinking that their investors if I take money away from her to show more profit for my company, which is what I promised my investors before she was ever retired because I had a plan to cheat her; and them."

And what she don't know about their foreign money exchange policies would set her mind to roaring if she knew that the American dollar was only that high for bigger profits else where. 

If crime didn't pay there wouldn't be any crime and if people did not crave freedom then they wouldn't watch T.V. or listen to radios or play out their lives on the internet trying to find it.  Flag draped buildings and monuments wouldn't be put on display in the mockery statement of this over freedom.  And -

We all know it.  It's no big secret, kind of puny, right?
 
The fight for independence will only be won when those ruling over all of us decide they don't have to be afraid of us.  They don't have to control every little mille-second of our lives.  Ordinary people working jobs to pay our taxes first out of our checks, then every where we shop.  Most people know their place.  It's among ordinary communities, buying groceries to make meals to share with our families and friends.  Buying a car and gas to go to work in a safe environment where the companies that the social media, government, military control can make profits and build more.

 Why are they so afraid of us? If they're attacking someone it's because of their fear and greed not because they're okay with themselves. How many times have you heard people who do those things described that way over the years?  Me, many.  I guess they had an odd way of telling us what they really were.  Looking as if they were those, proud supporters of local communities and providers of relief and defenders against ritualistic and organized murder (war), ended by groups of countries who stood against those things and said, "...no more.  We will stop you from murdering peoples and families and entire communities for their lands and their children and that won't happen any where else."  

What's more profitable than an exploited child?  An exploited child whose life became the opportunity of a million scam dollars, excuse me, scam operators exploiting the child.  
 
The leaders of our countries actions say more about them than they do about their citizens - the average citizen anyway.   Yet for some reason - I dare say our thirst for a life that includes more than the media constantly blabbing their ideas and thoughts about what we want or should believe, - we spend days filling those empty spaces of our lives with what we've heard them say.  Whether in a movie, in a book, a sports broadcast, a talk show, or in music.

Not just once, but everyday most of us can remember for as long as we've been alive that's what we've been taught to accept as freedom, and yet here we all are, myself included, typing another page of "none of that makes any sense at all."

T.V and radio and social media are like instant coffee.  It looks like coffee, it's warm like coffee, but it ain't coffee.  It's a venue of ideas to which it's meant to sell you an idea, a way of thinking and living.

 A former acquaintance of mine once told me, "If society had any real sense at all, we would all abandon social media all together."   Of course that was right before he told me he was in the process of starting up a small computer company of his own with a few friends of his.  (rolling my eyes)

Oh, the nonsense of us all, myself included.  We know what the issues are, we know we could fix them if we were allowed.  We also know that it would take something bigger than us to help us all do those things if they were ever going to be rationally accomplished.  We also know our place in the entire scenario.  They tell us what to do, we do it. Wake up, get up, go to work, make some money, pay your bills, feed your family, take care of your community and try to get along with everyone as much as you can.  So we do.
 
Why then are all the actions of the world around us contrary to what we're taught?  Because they conditioned us to accept them.  Both ways if the truth is involved anywhere.  It is do the right things and the right things will happen for you in your life - if ,of course the right things are not mere deceptions for the use of luring people's lives through multiple ideas from the broadcasters, their affiliates and family of stations and companies. 
 
I was told, "People know when they're doing wrong.  They don't have to be told when they're doing wrong.  No matter what their position in life is.  They know right from wrong."   How very accurate that is.  No excuse will ever dismiss or alleviate the knowledge of right and wrong from humanity.  No amount of money or idealism of "better than you" can separate those things.  If people do wrong, they know they are.  If they do right, they know that also. 

The conclusion is that right is right and wrong is wrong for everyone.  We all know it, and we can't escape it, no matter our authority and capabilities over people or under them.  We all know when we do wrong to other people.  Is there such a thing as doing wrong for the right reasons?  Depends the reasons I suppose.  Some people can't be reasoned with when they are doing wrong to others regardless.  The opposite is also true. No amount of money, or time, or words can rebuke those things.  We always have the option to change.  People in control of our lives and our well being have more options than us when faced with the opportunity to change a wrong to a right.  It is that discussion that decides if others believe in their own greatness enough to relinquish wrong doing or if it is passed off as, "that's just the way the world works." 

Most of our countries today are reflections of millions of years of mankind's strike for power over others.  Many of them, indeed all of them have had bloody battles with swords slashing through garden tools and lead balls ripping through flesh in order to take from others what they wanted to be theirs and theirs alone.  The wealthier than you always attacking other groups of the wealthy for resources and technology.  Murdering, stealing, cheating, decimating one culture for control of all cultures and claiming their greatness based on their doings.  

As history books from times in memorium have recorded and shared with us all, one kingdom rises up to subdue smaller ones.  Unite a land mass and then attack another.  Fortunes and kingdoms alike have been greedily devoured by those hungry for more than anything they have earned.  Common ideas are accepted as history, and today's world is supposedly too academically and socialably advanced to allow such an occurrence to take place on any such scale. 

Then we hear stories of a single mother of three, whose husband served in a military to defend and protect his family and community and friends being thrown out of her house along with her children because she lost her job and he was sick from something no doctor can explain. A mother who enjoyed family dinners and community events and donating time to the local schools and community outreach centers whose entire life had been dedicated to the children she birthed, going without food because her children needed more than one meal a day, while her husband was away protecting another country's everything, other families, homes and lands.   Protecting a "no fly zone" or construction sight.  Setting up a water filtration system for only who knows whom once they finish the job and leave.  Then our academically, sociable world where no such thing could happen rears it's ugly head and attacks an entire family on it's own soil and the unimaginable happens.  The seeds sown from their loss spreads like the winds over the world and the losses of one mother become the losses of a million more.  Bloodless wars waged by the greedy fears of those who claim to be smart enough and strong enough not to behave in such ways.  After all this is the twenty-first century, look at all the technology and what can be accomplished without human hands.  

Am I sure this isn't the twenty-first century dark ages where better light bulbs can now be turned on or off in a room when you walk in, without the use of a hand to turn them on?    

Don't all those spokes people on television look normal and extremely civilized on T.V?  Well of course they do.    

Tears are no longer a cleansing of angst from the soul, or a happiness that can't be told, but a commodity sold as an accomplishment of obtained control.
  
It's not manly to cry.  It's absolute stupidity if you're a woman.  "Nothing is ever accomplished with tears,"  simply means to you and me forget what a pre-planned confiscation looks like and move on with your lives.  When  the "it don't matter what you think" crowd can use your own mouth to repeat " we did you wrong because we could" rules the day - instead of the written promises and agreements of the men involved, their words become nothing more than a means to deceive. There are no words any one can tell you that will make wrong right.  Wrong was done because they did it the right way.  They knew it was wrong, they planned every wrong, and never have to give an account of their actions to anyone.  

Acquisitions defeats superstitions and when there is no one to hold accountable for the atrocities then freedom dies in silence and humanity mourns on a public stage from depression and addictions, pointless arguments of traditions.  Families are separated, businesses are lost, economies dry up, values disappear, crime is promoted as social-ably acceptable, just look at all the superb new movies, music and gold statues talking to the hopelessness through the laugh lines of the personalities promoting their new product.

The world goes on as much as it has and we talk about the same conversations we heard as children.  We read newspapers and some even try rewriting our own reveries such as this, for nothing else except to express some sense of having something to do.  To feel like we are a part of the world in some small way: and when we all get to the end of the page the same can be said of this.

This too shall pass and become another day's conversation about the condition of the world's peoples and their leaders unapologetic voices saying more of the same.
