Talking with a friend today. We wound up discussing the mystery (it's not a mystery. It might only be a confusion of terms.) of how people come to be so dense and 'seemingly' unaware of what's going on around them, AND... even if they are... they either completely misread it or get sucked into it... into the cultural threshing machine from which is produced an enforced conformity. “Ten Hut!” Sadly... attention is not what will be forthcoming.
Whatever it was that they put into the water... or the textbooks... or poured through the channels of the TV-internet-social media-radio... the social massage shaping... whatever it was, it missed me. I even tried to fit in and... they wouldn't let me. I did not have The Right Stuff. Of course... upon reflection, I see that their idea of The Right Stuff was not my idea of The Right Stuff. In my lexicon of verbal understanding, with a few mental quirks, their Right Stuff translates into The Wrong Way in my head.
I have been puzzled for a very long time about the disconnect between what people think... and what people do. The Historical Record holds proof plenty where this present road they are on... leads. The way to destruction is broad thereof... or something like that. I see people... many-many people marching toward an ignominious, and painful end. Some things are worth one's life. (at least to me) Some are worth more than your life... for that matter. What people are killing themselves, and each other over, is... not... worth... it... no way... no how.
