I have to say to this quote. I 100% agree with it. Not because I "believe it to be true" but I "know its true".
While I was growing up, I was raised in a family of Funeral Directors. Of course, before I branched off and went to Engineering School, I worked and observed alot of sadness and grief in the family business.
Part of my training was to "sell" families products, as all Funeral Directors do. But even in the Funeral Biz, there are marketing Tatics. The one that stands out in my mind, is the "Minds Eye" theory. Basicaly it is taught, the Minds Eye can not tell the difference between what is imaginary vs what is reality. I am sure you have all at one time, thought of something that excited you, or made you sad. Your body begins to react accordingly to that emotion. Even thou, it did not "physically" endure it, your body cannot tell the difference. Your hands sweat, your stomach gets "butterflies" etc etc.
The media has begun to use this against us. They control the minds eye, and we, as humans......cannot tell the difference.
We are in trouble......hopefully we are not done evolving and can cure this natural fault.
One last thing. I know there is no solution to this problem. It is not an calculas equation that can be worked out by one or twenty people. I only wanted to share my belief of humanity and how it is faltering. We quest the knowledge for so many things. Is there a God, Is there Karma, What religion is the best....etc. Maybe we should trun our questions and solutions to something tangable. Maybe we could fix it.??? But I am sure the odds are the same as God Himself seperating the skies to offer His opinion. Hey.....It could happen!
