Shower Epiphany: When Ripples collect into Waves

I'm always amazed how I run into stories how "Big ____" is some how trying to stop you from learning the truth about some morsel of information that somehow will improve your life immensely. It's always some large corporation, government agency, or an ancient cult where your misery and suffering is somehow beneficial. And yet, I've seen human behavior where some would litter than to walk a few steps to use a waste basket, much less keep it with themselves worry about a Nanny State. I've seen people smother the most unhealthiest food in the most unhealthy condiments on an hourly basis and yet mention how organic things need to be or how vaccines, pharmaceutical companies, and/or government intervention is making food unhealthy. We see a generation who feared Big Brother yield a narcissistic generation where minor actions are announced to the world and yet libraries are closing due to lack of interest. Worst of all, with the advancements in technology and communication we had lost our xenophobic threat only to gain the ability to hide in shadows of privacy to strike out at others over random and unsolicited opinions that were never in question.

I tend to ponder if its not our behavior that dictates our results or is it our lack of involvement outside of need of an excuse, patsey, scapegoat or whipping boy to justify not our self desire, but out perceived misery to remain in a rut that we ourselves have placed ourselves. When pizza delivery, phone and fast food companies have immense political influence why are we looking towards the shadows of conspiracy rather than ourselves to realize that our own gluttonous need and slothful interests has made these Paper Meche Mephistopheles. When do we realize that a well placed and cited search in a library or even Google can stop big anything with information that was never hidden, but simply never sought after. That a well placed question placed correctly can create a journey to a better existence when an ignorant one can be Googled rather than Twittered. The idea that we use terms like Google and Twitter rather than research and blurt is saying more about us than that place/group/people over there....you know...THEM.

Really?

In this age?

Where I just wrote this on a small machine that communicates through satellites and computers? Really?

Yea.....we need a new excuse for us not giving a rat's ass....isn't there a meme right about now?

Sad part, I wrote this knowing most people will avoid it since its "too long". Then again, Jay Z and I must keep the Illuminati hidden....

So sad....so sad.

Maybe its because I've been in school "so damn long" that I learn not only what I was supposed to learn but everything possible. Mayhaps I even learned how to learn. That can't be it. I actually use what I learned instead be rushed into a minor role that has nothing to do with my education instead of blame my lack of progress against the shadowy education system. 

Stupid me.
