Reality?...

By Vichara

OK people haven’t we been saturated enough with all of these reality programs that objectify and promote the frailties and absurdities of life? Why they have become so specialized in their oddities of human behavior how can call them reality programs? They have crept over the edge and become surreal! And yet even with this celebration of the degradation of life there is some that want more of these to watch and obsess over. I wonder if there will become a day where they all implode on themselves, the walls cave in and what is left is only the foundation to once again build compassion and respect. I do not want to sound old or old fashioned but seriously my friends in a world already kicked and prodded with an unnecessary obsession with ridiculing others shouldn’t we spend more time trying to build decency and respect? We applaud and laugh at all of these buffoons while being quietly mortified at our own behavior. Why not tip the “see-saw” of objectification and place more weight on the side of being good to each other, being decent, being compassionate, being the person not remembered for buying into deliberate manipulation of our common sense and decency but for building a foundation of understanding. I don’t know…it’s just a thought.
