"WHEN THE MEDIA CONTROLS THE QUESTION, WE DON'T ASK ANY!" "What Have They Done In Our Name?"
Because we rely so much on mainstream media for receiving the news from around the world, we instinctively see it as real or true. It shapes our view of the world and we rarely question it. However, we are content with this, so long as it does not interfere with our comfort zone or our regular TV dinner and daily digest of soap opera. Few of us question this pattern. It has a function, an order to it that we seem completely oblivious to. In just one or two hours a day, we set aside time for this daily human consumption. While we recognise that the food on the plate provides us with energy or fuel, we bypass this necessity as a stimulant being it's more important major function as a parallel intake to what we view in front of us. At some point we will seek information to stimulate the brain, while failing to recognise that it too has the same desire to be fed. It is akin to going through a day without a watch or access to a clock. How many of us feel uncomfortable being at home alone, especially when our partner or family members are absent for a particular time? Therefore, it is a natural reaction to greet any disruption to this program with disdain and hostility, simply because it is indeed a "program". Programs are controlled, so although we know that atrocities are being committed by those whom we are conditioned to believe represent us, we choose not to be informed about it. It does NOT make us any less responsible. Choosing the option of "What we don't know cannot hurt us" is NOT acceptable. It is still recorded, if not in our brains, then in our souls and it will remain there when we die and at some point we may have to explain what it is doing there and be held accountable. The stench of Human carnage cannot easily be washed away. Those who dismiss conspiracy theories do so as a natural defence mechanism. To steal a Hollywood quote, "Some people just can't handle the truth", but that doesn't make it go away. Sooner or later humanity will have to face up to its responsibilities. When it is right in our faces, it may well be too late, and the frightening truth is that despite it getting increasingly close by each passing day, we still remain blind.
The stench of Human carnage cannot easily be washed away. We have an incredible gift of unfathomable Love and compassion. Surely, it would indeed be a sin to waste it!
