What qualifies as an awakening?

Seriously. I wonder when I hear or read people say "wake up" what do they actually mean? Am I not awake because I pay taxes and want the things(nice home, family, and friends) in life that everyone else does. And what qualifies as an awakening? Is it like "now that I know Obama has stock in BP...I'm not going to vote for him"...

Or is it something deeper. What could a person awoken from years of "programming/brainwashing" possibly do...on their own? Seems to me that people come on the internet for a meeting of ideas and different perspectives but what do they do in the every day world?

That same person shouting wake up in all caps is the same one thats at the Dunkin Donuts foaming at the mouth because they didn't put a shot of hazel nut in his coffee. Or even worse he is the same person that would rather collect unemployment until a job of his liking pops up instead of take a regular job like people should do.

So what qualifies as an awakening? A complete break down of the system? Anarchy? Or just total agreement to any and every conspiracy theory out there?

I had an awakening this morning when at about 7:00 am by dog decided to walk across my testicles, causing extreme pain. I think that qualifies.

an awakening is a point in your life when u gain a new understanding, when u pass the point of no return

For women it's when they turn off 'The View' and 'Oprah' and get de-zombied minds of their own.
For men .... welll ... that has yet to be determined. (just kidding guys!)

This was a wake up

What I thought I knew, I didn't know

Awakening is realizing you own concept of reality is extremely subjective

It is realizing how ignorant you really are.
