When was the last time you saw or heard something that no-one told you about? When have you actually seen an airplane fall and not just read about it or saw it on the news?
Your senses have been replaced. Reality has been replaced. It no longer is subject of philosophical questioning. It has been simplified and dismystified.
There's no more intelligible reality, only visable.
And still, we only see and hear. Our senses have been reduced as well. In our own cute aquarium-like society, there is no place for touching. There is no place for tasting. There is no place for smelling.
Our eyes have become our screen to the world. Two small TVs and two small speakers make up our reality. We are merely spectators.
What we see is shown to us and what we hear is told.
Action is impossible. Transformation is utopic.
Our participation in life is not necessary. We play minor roles now.
The people we were actually supposed to trust - ourselves -, we don't. We just ignore our human nature and let everyone else choose what we want and need and desire. We go with the flow, now. We want to fit in. We HAVE to fit in. It's terrible just imagining not having everyone in the world loving us.
Our small box of truth tells us everything. We must not question. We must not question. Hunger, disease, poverty.. That's all okay, as long as I can't smell the rotting bodies or feel pain in my stomach.
News about wars, starving kids in Africa, obesity, AIDS, rapists, pedophiles, murderers, chemical and nuclear weapons and between each one of these, is a fast-food or a toothpaste commercial.
Television and newspapers aren't there to fight the problems. They're there so you can get used to it. So you think it's normal. They flood and saturate you with images and causes and
opinions untill you get angry at homeless people or don't even notice them.

We only react. We don't act anymore.
