The stimulus of this play was how the media, and technology is driving people away from each other instead of getting them closer. There was a scene, in the play, where 2 "ladies" were talking about the idea of only 1 transmission tower that said only 1 version of everything.... this made me reflect about some things i already had wondering around my mind.
People each day are getting lazier and more easily convinced by media. People are starting to stop critical thinking and have ideas for themselves. Superior powers are trying to get eternal control and stop young generations from critical thinking. I am glad to be one of the few to be able to reason and oppose to the social pressure this ideas summon on our minds.
There is a quote, from the movie Zeitgeist, i like very much, and i am willing to share it with you:
"The last thing the men behind the curtain want is a conscious informed public capable of critical thinking. Which is why a continually fraudulent zeitgeist is output via religion, the mass media, and the educational system. They seek to keep you in a distracted, naive bubble. And they are doing a damn good job of it."
Lets reflect about this quote for a minute. This paragraph is telling us we are being controlled, by superior powers. Our supposed free will, is not as free as i thought it was, our freedom, is being made what they want it to be, and we still believe it is our choice. They know how to play with human minds, and they are doing it well, most people have fallen in the trap, but there a few left, a few people who have uncovered the truth, sadly, this minority is not enough to make a change.
People with power don't want you to realise what they are really doing, they keep you in a distracted world, full of publicity, malls, videogames, new shops, fast food, work, religion, trips, beaches, clubs, love etc. People think that is the real world, people think they got their own choice and they are leaving life as they feel like it. SNAP OUT OF IT. You are just being lied, lied all your life, and you still don't know.
Another quote from the same movie i quoted before is very direct:
"The more you educate yourself the more you understand where things come from the more obvious things become and you begin to see lies everywhere. You have to know the truth and seek the truth and the truth will set you free."
Sadly, people are too busy with other things in their lives they don't know this, they dont search for it, they think they know what is true and what is not and they won't see the real truth. They think the media is telling the truth, they think that television, radios, newspapers are telling the truth. How blind can they be to not notice this are being controlled by superior powers to, changed, rearrenged and modified to fit what they want you to know
"Terrorist attack against the twin towers, 2 airplanes hit the buildings which fall and kill thousands of people"
And people believe it, people just accept it and they don't do any more research about it. "IT IS TRUE" WHY? "BECAUSE THE MEDIA SAYS SO"
Why don't they write in the newspaper:
"USA government plans attack against it's own twin towers killing thousands of innocent civilians to have an excuse to declare war." There have been studies. It is known as a fact that those buildings could have stay standing after a hit from an airplane. Videos show how the towers fall directly in freefall towards the ground, they don't fall to a side, this is impossible. People inside towers who survived claim to have first heard an explosion from beneath and 2 seconds after the plane crash on top. This between many other facts support this theory. But people don't know, they just believe what the media told them. FOOLS!
This is only 1 example of the thousands of lies that appear in the media, not as big as that one, but they do.
People reckon they know. People believe they are being reliably informed. People THINK everything is true and they are free. People don't know they are just puppets from superior powers, simple toys which fullfil the will of the ambisciousness of people in control.
After making my point, and going back to the play, it represents more or less the same things. Public figure: how men in power want us to see them, but we have no idea of what happens behind the curtain. How media just spams us with mostly insignificant news about the world to keep us distracted. Media is not helping Society come together as a whole and make people informed. Media is polluting our minds, making us naive, ignorant, lazy, stupid, mediocre, and worst of all, FOOLS. We are fools that don't know how we are lied to, we are fools in a false world in where we are supposed to be free. we are fools in the way that we don't know what is really happening, and we think we do.
It is US, the people, the commoners, the fools, who have to see the truth, who have to know what is really happening. We are not free, and we are doomed to be not for a long time, maybe forever. This period of control have been here for thousands of years, since religion, which is one of the biggest factors of mindless control. But that is something to talk about other day, since it's too off topic.
Will there ever be a time where lies wont go as truths around the world, were facts will be unvailed and the men behind the curtains will come out? Is the curtain, dividing fools and powers every going to disappear? or is it just a fact of life?
I am just happy to know that i am being lied to, although it is frustrating, i know i can't rely on the media, i know its mostly a lie, and i am happy for that. I just wish most of the people also knew.
Very good. This is exactly what blogs (and theatre) are for. I'm proud.
