Funny how human intelligence has this capacity of generating the best
of both worlds, torn between light and darkness, beauty and ugliness, positivity
and… negativity, heaven and horror (call them whatever you want). And quite
ironical to see the medias mainly focussing on the latest, as if having us
depressed was the ultimate mean for them to have the full control on each of us.
Not a single day without hearing about a tragedy if not a catastrophis here or
there. But what about the other side of life, its reputed beauty ? And what
about those of us who, by their acting, are the progenerators of it and
subsequently those who show us that everything remains possible ?
There's an
obvious search for knowledge and how else could it be at the end of the day,
judging by the way info is currently treated nowadays, displayed like vulgar
products to be instantly consummed ? This meaning absence of depth and more
widely anything that could make us think as individuals, as opposed to the world
of mass consumption we're living in with subsequent gods and media. This said
and like anywhere else, an extreme always leads to another ; an obvious
illustration to this being offered throughout the thousands of messages dropped
on forums here and there on a daily basis… Quite reassuring I would say as being
the proof of a need for something drastically different, even though this might
take some time before seing us getting rid of our current habits on a wide scale
and, as a direct consequence out of that system living on us.
Our current
urbanized societies have been conceived with everything except the will to have
us thinking and as former Roman Imperator Julius Caesar used to say : It's
easier to divide than unite. And the fact is that History (once more) speaks
for itself, from the progressive disappearance of notions such as tribes,
neighbourhood if not family, having most of us living on our owns, without
talking anymore to the boy/girl next door, if not the members of our own
families with each of their members watching reputedly dedicated programs on
their own spaces…
Humans haven't
been made to live like this, as notoriously shown in countries not as
industrialised as the so called Western ones and this absolute evidence is no
doubt to be considered as the cradle of an emerging new way of thinking seing
people expressing themselves and, as a result, exchange ideas and recreate
communities of shared interests. And we'd (the media) rather take notice of this
while being offered like this the opportunity to have a better view of the ones
we address our messages to then give a better response to their expectations.
Once again, you receive, you give, so better pay attention to what we're
currently offered in order to get back to it on the most acurate way. That's the
deal as being the basic principle of any relation. Yes, it's as simple as it
seems, having us in the obligation to know each of us better on our hope/will to
build the foundation of a system where each of us will be fully able to
recognize him/herself. In other words, what we need is unity as opposed to uni…
formisation, meanwhile putting all our preconceived ideas aside and make
ourselves in the position of considering the boy/girl next door's ideas at least
as legitimate as our very own ones. As gathering differences instead of refusing
them the way we tend to do is the sole way of having us living in a better
world.
Open our eyes,
raise our roofs, that's where the light is.
