Greetings good citizen, apparently as humanity lost the ability to cook for itself the kitchen table stopped being the communal meeting place to discuss the future of the family.
Families used to insist on sharing the evening meal together because it was the ONLY time of the day that the whole house was gathered together. If you were at the table you couldn't pretend you didn't see the note telling you what your chore on the behalf of the family was...as so commonly happens today.
Will the church fill the void left by the 'busy' [albeit unimportant] on the run lifestyle of chasing down a non-existent future? Once upon a time church attendance was mandatory too and if the conservo-whackos have their way, it will be again.
The modern kitchen table is lucky to see mom & dad breaking bread together...(but only if they still talk to one another.) Other than that, the former family meeting site has become the landing pad for junk mail, car keys and the errant abandoned beverage.
So it is we have the media telling us that Republicans are rallying around the most clueless president ever not because the man is 'popular' by any stretch of the imagination, even the character he portrayed on his reality TV show was despised [No emmys for Donnie, because he sucks!]
Why does the media insist Republican's still have the nitwit-in-chief's back? Because it isn't TRUMP the highly reliant on public opinion fear, it's the f'n MEDIA!
This is why 'popular elections' are a poor choice for selecting leadership...because the media has these people's future at the mercy of their innuendo tipped pens.
They can sink a candidate without ever accusing them of anything...and we have already seen the media sink presidential campaigns by ignoring the candidate into anonymity.
With the media being 'free and unfettered' we have also found the culprit who killed the family gathering.
Social responsibility is NOT the focus of 'the anything for a buck' commerce system that the media serves.
Guess what, now social responsibility rests solely in the hands of the feckless and the 'pay to play' media...with zero discussion.
Now we pass each other on our way to work and communicate through notes or text one another if they are high enough on the ladder of importance our empty lives have become.
Don't know where you are headed and there isn't anybody to talk about it with because they are busy pursuing their own chimera.
When you share your thoughts/feeling with your significant other of the moment are they listening and do they care or do they tune you out because you are 'unreliable'?
We stopped investing in each other when it became clear that if we were to get what we wanted, we would have to make it happen.
This, 'split' has devoured our entire culture.
"Don't surround yourself with yourself, move on back to squares."
The kitchen table is empty because you choose to chase dreams the lead nowhere...but if you hadn't you'd have found yourself alone anyway, thanks to the greatest 'time-suck' ever created...the mobile phone/gaming console.
If you aren't in a hunting for something to binge watch you are seeking memes on facebook or the latest release of the popular first person shooter the public adores [to hear the media tell it.]
Somehow nobody (again to hear the media tell it) is alarmed that humanity has become enslaved by its hand held devices. Apple shareowners are tickled pink about humanity's obsession with connectivity that isolates us more completely than prisons do.
How do you fight an enemy you are addicted to and if you have 'beat' that addiction, almost all of your...'acquaintances' [your 'friends' are your friends because you have 'history' (shared experiences) with them)]
Using this rubric none of you have any 'friends' because sharing video games isn't real.
How pathetic when it's all you have that it is 'real' to you. So when you finally do encounter a 'real' situation you are completely out of your depth/comfort zone...and explaining it to you like you are child only makes you resent your inadequacy.
We are NOT fucked...but a LOT of you have some serious 'growing up' to do. The tragedy is most of you won't survive it when the hammer falls.
Learn to cook and clear the 'junk' off the kitchen table, it is more important than you know.
Humanity CAN'T unite until we can TALK to one another so we can learn first hand WHAT IS IMPORTANT!

ReplyDeleteTHe first step to regaining control of your future is talking about it!
Sucks that you can't talk to your loved ones because of the politically polarized environment, making the annual gathering of the clan an occasion for dread more than rejoicing and reveling in our common roots.
