It bums me out that there never seems to be anything on television that holds my attention anymore. I could blame people. I could blame a specific person if I had to and ironically they are not on television. They know who they are.

They’re not going to read this blog though, they don’t read. It’s not that they can’t, it’s that they don’t.

So in a weird way, I often think we live in a kind of personal stasis: A good friend of mine is uneducated and does not seek education but fails to see the difference between being paid for what one does and being paid for what one thinks. This is not my own concept, I learned it from a school. Somebody taught this to me. I do not follow it to the letter either. But to put everything into perspective one must understand the limitations of their perspective. This should not be understated though; essentially, this is the destruction of our ego. To see beyond oneself one must essentially (and habitually) seek to expand their psychological territory. It is a trait that I find uniquely human. But a similar counter could be made to this as well; if being ‘good enough’ didn’t work out for the dinosaurs, why should being proactive work out for us?

And on the surface it makes sense, even to me; why get out of bed at all if you’re just going to die someday. Death is a guarantee. It is not necessarily that this is always the way things will be but as it stands now we are prisoners and captains to our own lives. Our respective ignorance limits and directs the course of our lives in a subtle but powerful way.
I don’t know exactly what this means. This is the extent of my knowledge. I can say nothing more to this effect than to speculate.

To continue with that note, I believe that what I have to say is important to a level that is something external to my control. That said I am human, or I was, I don’t quite know anymore. I look like you. I talk like you. Technically, I am a common demographic in your population. But the reality is that it could be debated. I do my best to hide it well, but it is not always easy. However this not without its gratification and I find that many of the things that bind me to this world are many of the same things that bind this world together. It is within these routes that I am able to interact with others of my kind, others of your kind, others of any kind and it tends to be rewarding. This world has come up with some very entertaining activities. But I suppose that my whole reason for writing was not simply to occupy time but rather offer a warning; enjoy free entertainment as much as possible.
