Random Distraction

We live in a world, where most things do not really matter. Everything is fragmented, everything becomes relative. In the Western world, capitalism slowly invades every human interaction, every human soul. Living alone, walking alone, dying alone. And taking as many with you, as you possibly can. Why do we have to accept, that banks can cause a crisis all on their own, spreading their disgusting worldviews throughout the minds of our world? Why do we have to accept, that people are so lost in their greed and individual well-being, that they can't see nothing but themselves? Constant unhappyness, constant comparing. She's taller, she's prettier, he's sweeter, he's richer? Constant distraction. We put on the tv, and what we see is all the bad and all the good, and we're unable to differentiate. Soaked up in stupid daily soap operas, wrongfully put scientific evidence, influencing as much as they can. Rushing images, interesting sound. It doesn't even matter what we look at, most of us don't even process it anymore. Staring, consuming, excess. Everyday reality becomes a taken-for-granted reality. We're entitled to money, a good job, our family, our rights. But we won't fight for any of it, unless we loose it. We stop to appreciate what most generations before us never had. What they died for, what they lived for. We consume reality, tear it apart, want more and more and more ... When does more becomes less? When does everything become nothing? What is apparent, and what is real? Can we still believe in anything, when we size it down to physical laws and money? If we can manipulate every number with the right model, manipulate every emission with the right pictures, manipulate every vote with void promises, then what do we stand for? It isn't wrong to think that religion is narrow-minded in saying that you either go to heaven or hell. I agree. But if there is a battle between the two, and if we write history as we make it, then do we really think we'd go to heaven? Is this the world we want to show ourselves? A world in which your neighbour becomes irrelevant, the newest tv becomes a must. In which beauty means famine, and famine is normal? Question yourself, question your world. Because the future is a few seconds ago. We have a choice. We can change history. We can become better, fair. I don't believe that everyone is equal, but I believe in equal division, equal law, equal freedom to be who you want to be. And I don't want to be measured by the tv I have, or the amount of lies I've told for my own benefit, or how much I own. I'd prefer to be measured by how much I can care for those whom I love, how much I can give, how much I am willing to do for the person next to me regardless of what they'd do for me, how much I can thank life for having great people and memories in it. Yes, one person cannot change the world. But that doesn't mean, that one person has to agree with it ...
