Social Engineering

I can't help but wonder at times...

This life long process of conditioning the mind to certain methodologies, it would seem, we embrace for existance.

So, i wake up in the morning, follow my strict workout regimen, grab a decent meal and stare at the TV screen watching a televised coaching. A Briefing that alludes the current, foucses on the relevance which i presume is what weighed the most as relevant information.

Would it be a leap, or a false projection to accuse the aforementioned with a contrived seamlessly executed propaganda to fill the empty ignorant minds of the world.

How is it so, that not a day goes by that i do not hear the words "bla bla bla, because cnn said so."

How is it so, for a populace -which i presume somewhat educated- exude much credence to certain news agencies. Did i miss something? Was i the only one that read the pamphlet stating "question whichever information dispersed your way?"

Well, another day at work. I feel like slapping certain individuals back to reality. It would seem reality as we know it [i]is[/i] way too complex, these complexities would rather be substituted with an allure for vague fantasies. These individuals i speak of are the professors in accredited universities, the leaders in reputable appointments, the bus drivers, the store owners. These individuals are installed within a stone throw from every direction my pupils fix at.

Births such question as ignorance. Could ignorance be possibly encouraged? I mean how else would you explain the little redundant obscure acts existing within every social layer of this mind boggling society.

I gather much of nothing from my daily encounter with reality. It seems what happened yesterday, tends to follow suit today, tommorrow is merely a reminder of today. So, what gives? why would people follow a straight line in a world filled with endless possibilities and directions driven towards finding one's true identity? Why is the society seemingly encouraging a uniformed or unilateral cognitive insights? When did it become wrong to think outside the box?

Although i find it challenging, the idea that we scream freedom, yet walk around in a blind fold guided -with nostrils-by the scent of an empty, delicious, dish.

Modern day slavery, building towards the betterment of who? what exactly? Am i living my dream? Am i truly in control? Did i set sail, or merely cirumventing my beginning? What do i consider success? Where do i go from here? What is social engineering? Look at our societies today. Am i amongst the many drones i pass daily? Will i one day be summoned to reality with a rude awakening? We ought to consider the fact that a preconditioned idea of what success truly is has been instilled since inception, thus its unclear to find true success.

Social engineering builds/creates characters, following the heart/passion finds individuality.
