Walking into the room, the electric dream machine was on. Actors posing as journalists were babbling about other actors. Silent blank faces staring at the electronic dream. Empty faces bathed in the dancing electronic light of hypnotic induction. Inducted and drafted into the make-believe. As Pharaoh said, "As it is written so shall it be" Our masters say "As it is televised, so shall you think" A dream that echoes in our minds. Half asleep we move together. At the coffee shop people are talking about the actors talking about actors. We are learning as a culture to redefine evil to make it acceptable. Torture is torture, killing is killing, and calling crimes against life something else does not diminish the depth of its depravity. It does not alter the evil and mortal shame of those who do it in our name. Those architects are condemned as are those who follow them willingly with arms up raised in salute. Meanwhile what goes on? Walking with echoes of actors quoting other actors. Half truths and lies stacked pancake style dripping with the syrup of more actors confirming the half truths and lies of others actors. Arguing, name calling, spreading dissent.
Waking up, clearing the mind, looking past the actors portraying journalists. Where do you go for truth? Where do you go for information? Where do we meet?

I know of a lot of places to go for information, but I still haven't found the place to go for truth. If you find it, please let me know.
"Electric dream machine" - I like that.
A good post, my friend.
"life is a stage..."

I found the quote I was thinking about:
As You Like It
"All the world 's a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts" - (Act II, Scene VII).
Consequently we have a society of death - looking to find meaning and happiness and it is not to be found. And it in we have come to abuse humnaity in all kinds of ways and killing in all forms seems to be acceptable as life really has no value without God - whether it is one's own or another's.
So we look to society, whether tv, actors or romanitc love of fairytale life to give us fulfillment and happiness - it all comes up empty but we try and try again. Would be that we wold have such diligence in our persisitent trying with God - then maybe we would have some real solutions in the and to the chaos around us.
Good thought provoking post as always - June
Hmmm, I think we need alot of truth detecting these days - I certainly don't trust the media to give it to me....
hope you are having a nice weekend, Cap.

This video seemed appropriate to me. Hope you are well.
Sla'inte, CM
May God give you...
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer
CP..I wish you and yours all the very best...hope life is treating you kind..
R - Right from the bottom of my heart.
I - I trust that you will find
S - Strength for each moment and
H - Health for each day along the way!
