People amaze me. As much as we feel we have progressed forward, we have remained fairly in the same position. Our reaction to situations is so deeply ingrained in our psychological make-up that it's pathetic. Take a look at this in your life, for example: The phone rings. The immediate response is to pick up the receiver and answer in either a casual or formal tone, normally depending upon atmosphere. See my point? Perhaps I need to illustrate this further, digressing into a little speech on human relationships. Cookbook relationships tend to be what sell these days. Look at any stupid teen bopper magazine and you'll see this painted as clear as day. People believe and will do whatever they read, and will often inherent this as an almost stereotypical response to any small quirk that upsets their life. So what's my point? People are becoming just like Pavlov's dogs. Salivating at the situations that they can understand and respond too, and doing so quickly. No thought, and no rendering the problem into bits and pieces for easier consumption and understanding. Indeed, all of these aspects of the situation are entirely overlooked. Instead, they hop over to the easier solution: doing what their feeble minds have been programmed and instructed to do over the ages. Why does this piss me off? I'm not even sure it does. It was just something that popped into my head and I wanted to get it down on paper for later review. Cause and effect is the standard for most of today's relationships - political, personal, or otherwise. All of this leads to the reason that I feel people became so upset these days. We live in a world of unbelievable convenience and reliability. We expect our systems and supports to be firmly entrenched. But, when something throws a wrench into our plans, we splatter off of our cloud into a bloody mess below. So, next time your pissed off because some random situation just isn't playing out how you intended it to, try to figure out what the situation is trying to teach you, learn from it, and then forget it immediately. Because I don't want you to be on top of things, and I want you to suffer. In short, think and you will be superior. -dropcomm-- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= = Questions, Comments, Bitches, Ideas, Rants, Death Threats, Submissions = = Mail: jericho@dimensional.com (Mail is welcomed) = =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= = To receive new issues through mail, mail jericho@dimensional.com with = = "subscribe fuck".
