The Future

I see a future where we are all one people, one religion, one religious party. At least it seems we are headed this way. A future where everyone is going to be overweight, who are immersed in some online game/media, who eat some form of kibble made for humans.

I don't even know why religions or political parties argue so much. All the members are getting too big, too involved with game or social media, and eat food out of wrappers and packages. They are the same people, all their differences are in their head.

Look at yourself or people you know, how many of you cannot get off of Facebook, or your e-mail, or some fantasy football or online game, or your phone, how many of you eat prepackaged foods, how many of you are bigger than the last generation? So you may have different religions or political views, but how different are you? If in the end you all purchase and vote and create a world where there's more entertainment, more use of finite fuels, quicker and richer foods? Then is your political agenda that different? Is your God that different?

A lot of people want this future. I hope it never happens but it's really already happening. You know when they do a documentary, or news program about obesity and it shows Americans with their heads cut off, and it just shows their torso? I wonder how many people are watching TV one day to see a torso and a t-shirt in a mall that is very familiar? Those bodies belong to someone and sometimes its you. It's not some blank anonymous other, those are real people and sometimes that person is you.

There are studies like the Dunning-Krueger Effect, where we see how poor people are at judging how bad they are at something. A lot of people never realize how poor their health truly is until that visit to the doctor, or some medical calamity happens. Be honest with yourself, look where you are headed, and do something to slow that down, stop it, and reverse the momentum.
