World from my eyes (part 1)

[Katty2010]

WORLD FROM MY EYES;-

Busy hustle bustle, crazy life, stacks of unpaid bills, broken promises, deadlines blinking in red, medical problems, growing anxiety, chaos, phones ringing, utterly exhausting traffic jams everything going in whirl wind accompanied with constant ticking of clock as time waits for none.

Dog eat dog world is a famous idiom in English language which in my opinion should have been man eat man world. Everybody is running after achieving things which don’t matter, no body is happy with what they have except for few people under the sun. Reaching out and grabbing from another person's plate has become an universal act. Its like people are not happy at other person's achievement or peace. Stealing, bribing, back stabbing, gossiping, robbing, false accusations, burying truth under folds of lies and causing havoc in world just to earn a better standard of living or to prove world that you are rich have merrily made millions out there victims of depression and unhappy life due to their own actions and desires. We know how to save environment from pollution but do we know how to save our souls from getting polluted? We have created traps for ourselves. Just ask your self a simple question that do I really want to have same thing which other person got? Is it my need? Or am I just fulfilling my desire because it looks tempting? I personally think a perfect solution for dog eat dog world would be to yield to temptations, learn to control your self. Think twice before you say something or take a step. This life isn’t about glitter or stardom. Fame, materialistic world, and luxury these things don’t count. What really counts is your character. You can make yourself or break your self. High tide or low tide you have to stick to your character. Money doesn’t measure your value your character does. If you don’t have proper manners how to talk to others and how to respect others in spite of who ever they are is what matters the most.

When I look at world from my eyes I don’t count if a person is riding on a donkey cart or sitting behind a wheel in new Porsche. I have been there and seen people who have gone from low to high and from high to low. Many of them have lost their selves trying to adjust to new lives. They just did not change their clothes but in fact many changed their hearts. It looked peculiar. Those who measure dignity by magnitude of money are merrily victims of greed virus. Wearing high heels does not make you smarter though it might make you look taller. Wearing make up to cover your flaws does not make them disappear forever. And last but not the least bringing others down just to make yourself feel better doesn’t make you look good but in fact proves you as a perfect coward.

"We never know whether we are rich or poor without comparing.
We measure in comparison with someone. Someone we consider equal.
I choose if I am rich or poor by comparing myself to the ones I believe to be like me.
So, even though we have now, more than at any other time, we got the impression we haveless and less, and we became...I became afraid, very afraid of not having things. What happens to our mind and soul, if we grow up in places where we always want more...even without needing it?
People began to want more and more and start to want to show other people more.
We came through the land, through the water, through the air, but where are we going to?
To raise the quality of life of the world's population, to the level of North America's average life quality, we would need the resources of two more planets like our own.

An Indian keeps, throughout his life,not more than twenty objects".

Greeting Geo - IMO - he world is controlled not by money but by debt.

The Bankers invented consumerism via Freud (History of self) and with the advent of Advertising made us want things we didn't need and didn't have the money for. - So the Bankers who tricked us first into coveting these goods in the first place stepped forward and offered us loans to pay for them. Thats when it all went wrong - Basically the media has brainwashed people into Buying things they don't need with money they don't have to impress people they don't like.

Hi Ambivalent.Lurker,

I completely agree with you. But the trap isn't so obvious to ordinary people who have not the faintest idea about how the system is working. It's too complicated for them. So I think, at first, people must learn simple things, if you will, an alphabet or basics. The system is using human ignorance. It's always been the case.
As you have mentioned, the media has been brainwashing people into Buying things they don't need. But this is just the beginnig. The media diverts the people's attention from realness and destroys people's consciousness. I'm sure you know it better than I. And all these things were predicted by Herbert Marcuse ("One-Dimensional Man") and other "power users".
