OH MY GOD SWINE FLU!
sick to fucking death of this swine flu bullshit. I don't know about those of you in places other than Australia, but all this hoopla about SWINE FLU IS COMING is starting to piss me off. Yes it's dangerous. Flu is dangerous. You know how you can prevent that? WASH YOUR HANDS, COVER YOUR MOUTH WHEN YOU COUGH.
The media really seems to thrive on trying to scare the shit out of ppl. Nothing new I know. But it really just seems like a mutated form of bullying. Terrorists, flus, rabid dogs, gangs, asians, africans, non euro's, Is it the fault of the media though, or the people who continue to swallow it down?
Reading a book at the moment that raises some interesting questions...one thing it does talk about is people's need to be led, to give their responsibility to someone else. To basically be told how to live their life.
Are people's lives that boring that they need to be told what to be scared of? The constant need for feeding of adrenaline and excitement just is a self perpetuating cycle of increasing shallowness. It seems that people need to be constantly disracted. Distracted from their own life? Some of this stuff sure is entertaining, maybe even educating, but really, reality is right there, no more or less real for anyone or anything. So really you shouldn't need to seek external influences to find it, in fact turn them off.
Quiet contemplation is needed to let reality in.
