I really struggle to understand. To understand what is going on in certain people's heads. To understand what the leaders of this country are thinking. To understand the mentality of this generation. To understand the easy submission, nay, hunger, for basic carnal lusts.
Maybe I'm just naive or ignorant, thinking that there was some movement to a higher form of being during the ages.
What this country does to you mentally - I'm not sure if it can ever be repaired. We live in such a violent place, that hearing about murders, gang rapes, mutalations - these things don't even faze us anymore. I don't even know anyone anymore that hasn't been touched by crime in some way. And... And that's it. That's how far it goes. No shock, no horror and no action. Maybe most importantly of all - no action. Most people have just excepted it as part of our normal every day lives. And what else can you do? Live in a constant state of horror, shock and fear?
We live in total indifference. The mental damage goes unnoticed.
There is a world wide collapse of morals. If you look at something as simple as movies - they are more and more violent, they try and get as graphic and brutal as possible. The music? As sexual as possible because sex sells. Again, all the base carnal instincts are unleashed. They leave nothing to the imagination. There are no complex story lines, no lessons to learn, nothing more complex to understand. They don't let you think, they let you relish in the carnal pleasures.
All this while the beauty of the world is trodden on, our intellect forgotten, our souls disgraced. Degraded, debased and corrupted. And then the question arises as to why? Is it just that people loose the battle? That carnal instincts just gets the better of a higher intellect? Maybe it's just easier. It leaves you with no responsibility. You don't have to take any real action, just like being in a comfort zone. You don't have to ask the difficult questions or look for the answers.
Or maybe it's easier to control and manipulate a bunch of animals?
