Good question, S&F!
I've been wearing them for as long as i can remember.
Luckily i'm kinda weird, some call it ADD.. My mind is always over analyzing everything.
Ever since i was little society just confused me, it was always trying to turn me into something i'm not.
So i have always been asking questions.., too many questions maybe, because they seemed to drive my parents nuts
To me it seems hard not to find these glasses sooner or later.. How can you not ask questions when most things around you have questionable motives?
Other than greed for money, greed for control seems to be eroding our ways of life. It's starting to look like 1984, everything is turned upside
down, merging and melting cultures is seen as multicultural, all of humanity's bad qualities are praised and rewarded, doctors destroy health, social
media is making us anti-social, i could go on and on.
But the biggest eye opener to me has to be the blatant propaganda and manipulation we see in the media. Almost everything we see in popular music, TV
programs, commercials and movies.. feels wrong to me,
these things convey a double message.. it's always a positive that can only lead to a
negative.
Also, EVERY senior person i talk to tells me exactly the same thing.. we have become incredibly anti social over the past 50 years. Communities used
to be strong, everyone knew each other and helped their neighbors out in times of need.
These days.. especially in urban areas.. everyone keeps to themselves.. life has become too fast paced, stressful and competitive, so we have become
afraid of each other, we don't really know our neighbors and we all close our blinds at sunset. Big families are a thing of the past, in fact normal
families will be next, almost everyone i know comes from a broken home.. and that is all you see on TV too, which is loudly encouraging us to cheat on
our spouses.
Watching society take a bad turn, and seeing that turn being encouraged by the ones in power..
Watching all the pain and suffering in the world,
while the ones who should be looking after us, are only looking after themselves..
Watching technology being used for all the wrong reasons..
Watching the new generations become increasingly detached and immoral,
drained of motivation other than the material and egotistical kind..
Watching our troubled history repeating itself over and over again..
Who needs glasses? It's everywhere!
Now i may seem crazy.. and i think i am,
but i'm glad i think the way i do because it has taught me how to be a better person, how to separate the bull# from things that matter. How to stay
positive while fighting the things controlling me, because as soon as you let them get you down.. they win. Besides, why would we be sad about it,
it's part of human nature, for good reason.. because without darkness there can be no light. Instead, when the opportunity strikes.. get angry and
fight back!
