And You Thought The World Was So Perfect?

And You Thought The World Was So Perfect?

The world has changed the the days of our fathers. The days when you could leave you car and house unlocked because no one would want to impose on your property uninvited. Women could enjoy a long nights walk without having to carry weapons to protect themselves. Days when countries minded their own business and only wanted to make their nations better by their own means. You could have a relationship with anyone and not have to worry about any repercussions from their family or yours because you were from different backgrounds. You could walk through any neighborhood and not have to worry where you were and if you should wonder if you’ll get out alive. You could do anything you wanted and not have to worry about someone bursting into your house and throwing your family into a corner and beating you in front of them. Putting a black hood over your head and dragging you away saying that your “under arrest” for crimes against humanity or some other crap that they could come up with just because you voiced your opinion in an on-line public forum. and you thought the world was so perfect?

Now this computer could be exactly what i want it to be or it could be something much more sinister. Take for instance the fact that the Internet is plugged directly into a secure line that can be monitored by anyone at anytime. If that person were so inclined as to want to invade your so called “constitutional rights”. Please don’t think of me as a conspiracist, but as a well aware observer of the truth. the government isn’t the only entity that we should be worried about. Oh no we should be suspicious of our neighbors,co-worker, and family members first and foremost. For they are the ones that know the most about us and have the most to gain by our “accidental” leaving of this life. In example if you were to nonchalantly walk onto your neighbors grass which had freshly mowed and tended too to hand him an invitation to your barbecue. He could be infuriated enough to ruin your whole life if he really wanted to. not the he would be any means. You were just being polite. Though he looks calm and cool on the outside. while you’re walking back unsuspecting he may think to pick up the rake leaning against the wall next to him, and hurl it towards your skull with spartan like accuracy and snuff out the candle which is your life flame. Ending all that was good and kind within your family.

Take into fact that this action would hurt your family and crumble the stability in which there sanity rests on. your wife may become an alcoholic, your daughter a confused lost young woman, and your son may become a trouble making miscreant who doesn’t know right from wrong. Within that time the two families who’d been friends for so long could grow apart into enemies worthy of World War II. they bicker and fight about where each owners property lines fall. the police will visit the two households   so frequently they’ll be on a first name basis with each family member. Not to mention the hate crimes committed on one another. And you thought the world was so perfect?

A little girl walking home from school is reminiscing? about the day that had past. She enjoyed her classes. Also she was excited that her favorite meal was served at lunch. Only a few blocks from her she decided to start skipping. It was one of her favorite things to do. It made her feel like she could fly. to the passer by she was just an elementary school girl skipping and humming to herself. But in her mind she was in the cockpit of a plane that she had designed in her head. With the help of movies and television she had a pretty vivid idea as to what the plane would look like from the inside. She holds her arms out wide. Now in a jog she starts to sway her body in order to fly through the turbulence she was imagining. Talking to herself saying ” OK Cindy One your are clear for landing” “Roger that fwight contwol” she responds in her head.

Turning the corner of her block to get to her house Cindy doesn’t see her house all she sees is the the runway lights. Brighter now then they’d ever been before. Cindy starts feel funny as the plane lads and seems to catch fire and roll and tear into pieces. Horror fills Cindy’s face she doesn’t understand what’s happening. She had always landed perfect before. Soon Cindy realizes what has happened. It’s not the air craft that had fallen and torn to pieces. It was her. Micheal was her friend. They went to school together and played forever since they were babies. Cindy had considered him to be her oldest friend. Micheal didn’t go to school today. Micheal met some new friends not Two days before. Michael’s new friends wanted to see if he was as cool as he said he was. These new friends were much older than Michael. Michael agreed to take them to his house during lunch and ditch the rest of the day. THAT. Was the cool thing to do. He took them to his house and showed them his fathers pistol. Michael’s father had allowed him to shoot the firearm under his supervision before, but this time Michael’s father was completely in the dark. Michael took the pistol outside and showed his new friends. Michael’s new friends hadn’t believed his story about firing the pistol so he took the safety off and shot it into the air. A loud shot rang from the muzzle of the pistol. Bringing families from their homes to investigate. Such sounds did not emanate in this neighborhood. While some of the fathers we reprimanding Micheal, the bullet had fallen from the sky and lodge itself into Cindy’s Medulla Oblongata. Causing no pain but ceasing all movement resulting in Cindy’s body going limp and taking the full impact of her body falling and tumbling off of curb and into the street. Finally just her mind was shutting down and her eyes were closing as her mother held her in her arms. Cindy’s mouth opened and she said ” Welcome home Cindy One. And you thought the world was so perfect?”

These are two scenarios that aren’t meant to scare but to educate if you will the common populous of people who have allowed the media and the government to put you into an imaginary comfy chair if you will. Do not fail to open your eyes to the world be afraid of those who are ignorant and walk down back alleys in the night.Those who believe in everything they read. Those who won’t embrace the old traditions that have kept us safe for hundreds of years. Discipline your children take control of their lives until YOU are comfortable with them taking the big step through the door with is the dangerous world that other peoples children have been aloud to create. For it is only when we decide to forget the past in our minds that we are forced to physically attempt to survive it again.
