What is the magic ingredient that makes one happening stand out from the rest? I remember many
years ago when I was a much younger and more handsome man (I am currently working on ego
deflation!) It was at the time of the Vietnam war, and there was a full page spread of a little naked
girl who had just escaped from being burned alive from Napalm bombing by the Americans,
she was stood there is the road naked and in a state of total shock, I believe her village was
completely destroyed, that iconic photo was published throughout the planet. Everyone was
talking about it long before the word viral was ever associated with happenings like this.
What is it that can move so many? If a celebrity breaks wind at the Oscars it will be tweeted endlessly and will spread much like a virus would spread. How can we equate a celebrity's
fart the pain and anguish the wee girl felt after nearly being burned alive?
Is fickleness in our nature? Pictures of children who have been killed and had limbs blown off in Syria go viral around the world. They make us all think, and also feel so helpless to be
able to do anything. Then, a few minutes later, there is a 'news' flash. A famous actress was
"spotted" in a restaurant without wearing any under clothes! That too goes viral, the tweet
buttons are red hot! Thousands have sore thumbs as they are caught up in the frenzy of
excitement. The dead and dying children are forgotten. This is news! Many young girls
maybe imagining that we too should follow this trendy actress and not wear under clothes!
Our world, or rather us who are living in it, have become very sick. We, live in a world that
is morally bankrupt and hopelessly spiralling out of control, if war breaks out in North Korea
and the Americans and the Russians join in, will we be sending important tweets about some
other celebrity or a wanabee trying to be a somebody, while thousands or even millions are
dying in a war of egos.?
The VIRUS that is eating up millions on this planet is that we do not know who the F... we are
if we knew that ,none of this bloated bulls... would ever happen, it could not happen if we KNEW
who we really are, the VIRUS is ignorance of our TRUE IDENTITY , that is the root cause of
all the problems upon this planet, and always will be unless we WAKE up and smell the roses
and all look within us ,chuck your piece of plastic garbage in the bin, give your finger a well earned
rest from tweeting, and take up meditation or yoga, find yourself first, then help you brother or
sister to find them self as well. Then peace will descend upon this planet, and goodwill will reign
supreme.
