Frequently, as per every mundane day;everyday life goes on. Going to school,doing homework,sleeping,eating,playing. Rinse and repeat,without stopping. There nothing to think about except what to play,what to eat, what to do about work. Rinse and repeat.....it is almost as if we are lifeless even though we are life itself.
Are we being sedated?
Everyday we are busy looking that flashing screen which shows us the world we cannot go.It integrate into our life so well that we cannot let go off it. It follows us even to work,bath,even before sleep. Everytime i walk into MRT train, out of 15 people ,there is always at least 10 person staring into their phone without a slight shift in their eye. We have become so self-absorbed into our tiny little world that all we care about is our self and the world we hold in the little screen.
The urban life around us is just as spell-blinding as our phone. The Tv bombard us with advertisement ,movie, drama,news. Our work constantly blind us with work and worry. The world we currently live in is almost as if a massive spell-blinding illusion blinding us from something.
Every advertisement about food talk about how nutritious,delicious looking they are,but never about the suffer the worker and animal suffered to let us have the food. Animal are being slaughtered,drugged,raise in cattle for us.
In supermarket, we have an abundant of food,yet it doesn't seems to be able to satisfy our desire.Thus, we have more,excessive supplier. We destroy forest,mountain,sea,and space to fulfill our desire. It is almost as if we can never be fulfilled. We live as if there ain't other lifeform. No... more of like most of us doesn't want to care about others. We are living as if we can always have a second chance in everything we do. Much like how we go on everyday. there is always another day,yet we never know when we will die.
There are much suffering out in the world,such as people in africa is suffering from lack of basic food and water,yet we are doing nothing... care about our little worry and problems.
The media isn't concerned with these problems in the world,therefore we rarely we such news being rise up. One have to think that maybe all these are act of controlling masses right under out nose.
At large, are we being fed with distraction from suffering using media and work? is the condition of the world being re-framed as a better world than before? We associating positive image such as inter-connectivity with internationally even though we can hardly connect with someone just beside us.
Our generation itself is almost as if being sedated,brainwashed, by media itself. But... the question is what can we do... or should i say.... should we do something?
