Hard Times, Strong Men 🛡️

 How Old Were You?

    How old were you when you finally woke up and realized, everything is fake. 

    Fake food. Fake elections. Fake News. Fake Money. Fake Life. Even fake heroes, sent before us as the people’s champs. Fake. Fake. Fake. Everything, everywhere, all at once. 

    A part of your soul shatters when you finally come forward and see the truth. The image and lies you’ve come to accept as reality, destroyed into a million different pieces. The very construct of all you know, defeated by the truth. The illusion no longer persists, leaving you wide open and exposed. 

    Part of me blames myself, for ever falling for it in the first place. The thought that things were always in control and simply flowing along in a natural state speaks to my youthfulness and naivety. Being young and dumb, truly not grasping the true meaning of power and how it is applied, across the world. The reality is, we are being manipulated more than ever before. 

    Most of the manipulation comes from the propaganda through information. This was something I wrote about yesterday, diving into the reality that we are being nudged in certain directions. Once an algorithm can understand the habits of its users, it simply becomes game-over. If you can effect it, you can manipulate it. If you can manipulate it, you can control it. Plain and simple. 

    Human beings are not difficult to control. When forced to follow orders, they have a tendency to break off and disobey. However, if you can convince them that they are acting out on their own free will, all of a sudden they do as they’re told, with no push back. No arguments. No fighting. They simply become accepting of their reality, believing that they are in control. We truly are the dumbest species, here on Earth.

    Some groups or people believe that it is their God-given right to rule over us. That we the people simply cannot be left alone to our own devices, and that we require rulers. That we must be subjugated to their laws, and follow along specifically to their orders. That we the people cannot direct ourselves. I refuse to believe that. I refuse to buy into the idea that leadership is a God-given right that one must be born into. That type of thinking is how ancient rulers used to justify their behaviours.

    The average individual has been dumbed down to no longer challenge their rulers. They have been fed lies and deceit, to the point where they no longer even think for themselves. They simply believe that the world is butterflies and rainbows, and that their life goal is to simply live it up and party as much as possible. The kind of thinking only a fool would celebrate. A misguided soul, wasting away their lives as they ignore their calling for a higher purpose.

    The biggest perpetrators who are feeding the youth this beautiful lie are none other than those who rule above us. They push and promote degeneracy, so that those which they rule will never challenge them for their position. They lead us all astray, creating weak and fragile individuals who dare not think for themselves. An entire generation, an entire society, sleep-walking throughout the world. The global consciousness of human beings has been halted, being powered by foods and drugs which keep us subdue. 

    Our society is a sick society to say the least. We use drugs and pleasure as bandaids to coat over the true problems we face. We promote temporary fixes, which simply push the problems down deeper, all the while never facing the true issues. We cover things up, applying sealant over the cracks, instead of getting to the root problems. We no longer feel the need to truly dig in and fix the problems which have lead us to this mess.

    Sooner rather than later, we as a society will have to get our hands dirty. We will have to plunge our hands into the mud, to rid ourselves of the weeds which are wrecking havoc. We are going to have to pick up a shovel, and dig out the roads of old which have lead us to this mess. Society has been fixing our roads by simply filling in the cracks, while we the people pretend that they’re doing a good job. Eventually, we will have to face the harsh reality that these roads need to be completely torn up, and redone. 

    Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. Weak men create hard times. Hard times create strong men. Make no mistake, we are repeating the cycle. We are on the path of no return, where the wheel continues to turn. The hard times are here, and they will only continue to get worse. The struggle will continue. We as a society will continue to fall deeper into the well. Until we wake up, and realize the path we have begun. The road of no return.

Some day soon, the hard times will require strong men to stand up and create change.

        Glory Be,

                    Amen.
