Breathing Fire

The pleasure of entertainment seems to exceed the value of humans. The ability to twist people’s mind is being able to exceed itself way beyond its assumed limits, be it through temptation of money, fame or through a sequence of images and the voice that forms your “truth”, lifestyles and behavioral patterns to aspire for.
The creation and molding of needs, wants, thoughts, ideals, spirit, hope, aspirations lying in the hands of responsible film-makers and television program producers, authors, editors, visual communication artists and designers, is scary almost.
The news is now an entertainment program with hype and sizzling hot garbage flooding a large amount of the air time, and page space to help scare the people into believing anything under the sun and want anything even that which they don’t need.
To think that there are so many programs being produced to cause complications in people’s life and relationships, trample their self-esteem, give up their sense of self, the extent of the achievable outcome almost unimaginable. At the cost of entertainment, the thrill of reality, and a whole lot of money, television and media have decided to turn the world around and the funniest thing is, nobody cares, well almost nobody. It feels like there’s a world which is being twisted, people are enjoying it and either nobody realizes or they’ve been brainwashed and just continue watching. It’s not an open-mind, it’s not free love and it sure as hell isn’t world peace.

While growing up with an open-minded approach to life, I formed a code for myself, ‘Enjoy yourself as much as you want as long as it doesn’t encroach upon or cause harm to others.’

“When the truth is found to be lies, all the joy within you dies.” – Somebody to Love by Jefferson Airplane
