I’m at a point where I don’t know if I matter any more.

Humanity – real humanity – is gasping its last breath. And “society” sits idly by, quietly watching – doing NOTHING.

We all spend our lives getting insulted, abused, disrespected, marginalized, classified, judged, profiled and manipulated in ways we don’t even realize. I guess it depends how ignorant we are – or so used to it that it’s our norm.

I sound pretty pessimistic, don’t I? I won’t argue with you – I do.

We’re brought into this life without instructions. There is no manual to life. No “How-To” to guide us on a day-to-day basis.

Schools? Please. The only thing that parochial schools to is fill our minds with what someone else thinks is important for us to remember. And that’s what they do to us in schools – they teach our brains to remember, not to THINK.

Some people are afraid to think – correction, exercise independent thought. And, thanks to the digital age, as long as they can remember how to log into a website or call up an app on their “smart” phones, they can find a never-ending supply of opinions they can adopt as their own. And, the evil among us taps into that hidden vein of blind followers to exploit in the degrading and destruction of our civilization.

Don’t get me wrong – these weaklings have been there all along. These are the same gullible people that (20 years ago) would read an article that said drinking orange juice would make your ears fall off and immediately swear off the Minute Maid (because they “read it somewhere, so it must be true.”) How lame.

Ironic as it is (my saying this through the internet,) having a real human being around is now a redundancy that has crept into the real world. If you don’t have an email address, a smart phone or a social media presence, you are seen as less of a human being. Even if you are accepted into the realm, the preferred method is to communicate with you through email DM’s or text messages. Many young people today lack the brain chemistry to engage in a face-to-face conversation  with another living human.

And with that, you are just as quickly dismissed from society when you challenge their narrow world. Emails and texts ignored, communications blocked, trolling…you name it. Cross that invisible line, and you are out. And you probably will never even know it. One day you will realize that the new friend you thought you had was a “bot.”

I don’t want to be a part of a world that trivializes life in such a manner. I have to believe I’m not alone in that feeling. But so far, I’ve been yelling into the darkness and I’ve gotten  no response. And I am running out of breath.

So why continue writing this stuff?

Will it make a difference if I am here or not?

Nope.

Fin.
