Most of us are in deep denial.
That, to me, seems both pathetic and ignorant - something like a submissive slave cluelessly and happily licking the boots of an unworthy and cynical master. Or more precisely - it is like lambs being led to the slaughter...

yes... so let's not forget that many are lambs... young (whether it be in actual age, or spiritually) and yes, ingnorant...
to label them as pathetic ... to me... defeats the humanity we are perhaps trying to find in the face of the "media assault" and all that it brings.
i very much like what wil says here:

But the real question, that I have been stumbling over for years, remains - what is left for the individual?
what meaning is left for us to create and what value does it have?

that is something i think many question on a daily basis... and how to balance a quality of life, and humanity... despite what we see and experience happening around us...
and of course we are all on a different leg of the journey... so our awarenesses will differ.
we can all learn from each other... even those who perceive themselves as "further down the road to enlightenment" than others...
perhaps that is precisely where the value is.
