We Love Being Lied To

We Love Being Lied To: There are lies, there are damn lies, and then there are statistics. Mark Twain

   Warning: This post contains daunting material that might make you think morbid thoughts

   On any given day, you wake up to a ringing alarm clock. You groggily turn over to see the measured units of time that is perceived only by the human race as we know it. 

   You get out of bed to make a pot of liquid drugs that are addicting, but wakes you up in an instant. 

   You rush around to get ready for a job that may or may not produce any benefit to society. You hop into the motorized vehicle to head to work. 

    You tucker along on fossil fuels that took upwards of 300 million years to form, but seconds to burn. "30 minutes" later you arrive at your working establishment already stressed. 


   The whole aspect of doing this said job is to "earn" this paper-like material that is technically an IOU from the government. You collect these promissory notes to "pay" for anything you desire. 

   This monetary substance is the most sought-after item in the country, yet is not backed by any trade. More notes are being printed to lessen their so-called value, so you have to make more to attain the same items.

   You report to your institution 5 days a week for a block amount of time to pay for things you are hardly in or use. Your body slowly degenerates from sitting all the time and not moving around. 

   Driving back causes more stress and depression, which leads to the consumption of more drugs or processed food that shouldn't be in your body.
We Love Being Lied To: People Don't Want to Hear The Truth Because they don't want their Illusions Destroyed. Friedrich Nietzsche

   Once you get home you sit on the couch to watch a show or play a game that spews fake realities while you munch on more processed food. After a while you get up to make more fake food from a freezer since you're either too tired or lazy to cook.

   As you look into the reflective pane at night, you see an image you're not fond of. You desire to look like the images of others that sacrifice essential foods needed for a healthy body and are edited on a computer; yet are not motivated enough to put the time and effort in to gain more energy and self-esteem. 

   As you crawl into bed you can't sleep from all the food and drugs you've consumed over the day, which causes more drowsiness the next morning.

   All the while, these are the people that complain about menial lies and secrets. 

   Are the ignorant happier? Would it be better to stay in the dark or to be brought into the light of truth? Which do you do, Seek the Truth or Accept the Lies? 

   I will end this post with this quote:

"Ye Shall Know The Truth, And The Truth Shall Make You Mad" - Aldous Huxley
