    Peel that one back, that is some impressive writing from a somewhat unlikely source.

    Watching a video where this woman warrior is talking of how she and her comrades have gotten ‘used to’ the horrors of war. Remarking that humans have the ability of getting used to just about anything.

    One of the main roles of mainstream media: getting its population used to various things as normal or true when it is anything but.

    Used to the war in Ukraine.
    Used to wearing masks.
    Used to vaccines.
    Used to social distancing.
    Used to capitalism.
    Used to authority other than one’s own regardless of obvious corruption.
    Used to pollution (sound, light, air, water etc.)
    Used to being told what the ‘truth’ is.
    Used to division of fellow humans to each other and themselves.

    Modern life seems to say. “get used to it”, “move on”, “the show must go on”, “don’t rock the boat” etc. etc. etc.

    Quote “Go back to bed, America. Your government has figured out how it all transpired. Go back to bed, America. Your government is in control again. Here. Here's American Gladiators. Watch this, shut up. Go back to bed, America. Here is American Gladiators. Here is 56 channels of it! Watch these pituitary retards bang their fu*king skulls together and congratulate you on living in the land of freedom. Here you go, America! You are free to do what we tell you! You are free to do what we tell you!”
    - Bill Hicks

    Saving grace?

    RE:



    Side Note:

    "Get used to", is itself an echo/ a recursion, like "acquire acquired", a replicating virus if you will.

    Your post, Wind, they land, at the very least, close to home.
    ...................

    Just Reading Lines

    Art, presentation, acting

    Watching this show and thought, this character, this actor, is so wise.
    Followed by a light hint/ whisper……not necessarily.
    Actors are just good at selling a screen author’s lines as their own.

    Have you ever spent any time with a famous artist-actor and thought, wow, they are nothing like the character thought embodied on screen? A good actor knows how and when to act even while Barbra Walter’s is asking the hard hitting questions.

    What is there about art that does not apply in this 'life'? (a cued clue)




    Reading between the lines is not putting/ reading lines between lines, that is just good editing. Meta-line never run out of lines.



    Imagine how messy (your) life would be if it were art? The living room would never be the same!





    Shake it off

    I used to be someone for a very long time or perhaps you could say for lifetimes.

    I got quite tired of that. Now "I" have been focusing on becoming nobody.

    As Ram Dass would say, it's a trip. A long journey back to home.
