Quote of the Day – August 7 2012

 “We become slaves the moment we hand the keys to the definition of reality entirely over to someone else, whether it is a business, an economic theory, a political party, the White House, Newsworld or CNN.”
― B.W. Powe, Towards A Canada Of Light

 

Life pressures build up quicker and quicker these days. We become encouraged by the media and by our peers to do more and more fit more and more into the day (usually while eating food that is more and more unhealthy but after all who has time to cook?). So how do we keep informed? Whom do we trust to keep us up to date on what is going on in the world outside of our lives and gods help us if its reality shows.
It all starts to feel pretty convenient. Luckily we have the internet available to us where we can find almost any viewpoint on reality that we want at any moment. We can balance out our world view and not get locked into another’s reality. We may have to take a few minutes to exercise discernment and judgement and critical thinking but what’s the alternative? Either we choose our story or it gets chosen for us. We can have fast reality to go along with our fast food if that’s what we wish and do to our brains what many of us have done to our bodies… It’s good to have choices.
Blessings, G

  1. Your blog is a lot like Playboy and Penthouse: I read it for the pictures! Just kidding about the porn connection, because actually, I really enjoy the articles too! But you consistently have some of the coolest pictures. Thanks for being. 😉
