Puppets and their ringmasters.
Sometimes I get so disgusted with the way things are. They claim the moral high ground but they are so fucking exploitative in nature. It bugs me that people are basically begging to be exploited in this manner, because they don't know any better. It's the only way they have been taught to live, and if you take that away from them, they will feel like they no longer have any morals.
But morals can be completely independent of the company in charge of this exploitation.
They just don't see it this way, and they burn on while being deluded into thinking that their sacrifice would be worth it eventually, perhaps not in this life but the next. They want to be revered as martyrs. They are happy.
If only they can understand that there's a dark figure revelling in their self-sacrifice while rolling in the money and luxury that people who are desperate to claim a similar level of morality give unto them.
But happiness is all that matters in this society now right? We would rather be happy scrolling through Facebook than contemplate on our eventual mortality. We would rather numb ourselves with gifs than gifts of knowledge and books. We would rather be ignorant than suffer the burden of knowledge, the burden of the truth.
Smile. Be happy. Enjoy yourselves, and try not to think about that dark figure pulling your strings, making you dance to his/her tune.
There are dark figures everywhere, but don't point them out. Their puppets, whom you care for deeply, will be made to smite back. Voluntarily.
