Fight Or Flight
Does the current state of our world create a little apprehension? Do you try to ignore what is happening, and just live your life? No matter how much we try to take ourselves away from it though, it’s still there. Do you react logically as a result of your underlying fear? Do you stand up and fight them, or do you use one of the many mind altering methods in order to handle the stresses of our economic system and tensions in the world? 96.7% of us use one form of mind altering method of coping! Actually I totally made that number up to get your attention, as I have no idea what it is. But I would think that it’s probably pretty high? Literally ‘high’ if you know what I mean. Some of us use ignorance to try to ignore what’s happening to us. This to me is a big one, and the main one Americans use these days. We really don’t want to know what is happening because it’s far too uncomfortable to accept. So we pretend we don’t know there are problems to face. Others try to sort of sleep away our concerns by escaping into television, music, video games, reading, or even sex - and of course there are those who escape by actually sleeping (we should all be so lucky). The third method is a dangerous one, and that’s the actual use of mind altering drugs: including alcohol, and believe it or not, even chocolate. That last one isn’t really that difficult to take, but I guess it does create some sense of euphoria. Chocolate sales seem to always rise dramatically in depressing times. There is one more method that I just thought of - and is probably the most dangerous of all. It’s called mind numbing idol worshiping belief in corporate controlled government, and corrupt politicians. This is a genuine euphoric frenzy brought on my a strong false sense of mind altering comfort resulting from believing political lies. This is actually a very old method of self imposed mind control practiced by only the weakest of cowards who have few independent thoughts of their own. Oftentimes these altered individuals will run in gangs, and gather in what they call political rallies. The can often be identified by loud screaming and their funny hats and signs, and almost always label themselves as republicans or democrats. All of the above, of course, are mind altering methods of coping with adversity. Which of these do you use? Article Directory: http://www.articledashboard.com freesyncracy.com/?p=1102 |
