Life is too short for assumptions!
Look at this as a long rant, a few pages from a book which you have been reading. That book is called reality and it gets to you around you in full three-dimensional projection. It gives you senses to smell, look and hear; but there is more inside of you and that’s happiness and sadness, to be freightened and attracted to which lives around us. It’s because reality is so hard to change, because it happens day after day with cause and effect, where we have so little to say in. It’s time in it’s purest form.
To explain what reality really is, we don’t have to go Kansas to see Dorothy, Reality is like a bubble, which is around you, which spreads as your bubble gets bigger. The better your ideas are, the more people that will want to be part of that bubble. The worse those ideas are, the further you want to be away from that person so you don’t get affected by the wantings and doings of that particular person.
Some people want to control our bubble, or .. well, to be atleast part of it. We call it society as it is. What we saw as impossible about 12 years ago on American reality series, is all happening at our doorsteps. Both police and criminality is adapting to the standards of today, but also how people get approached. Criminality shouldn’t be taken lightly, although there are more frequent cases than ever of errors and recklessness around Europe taking down innocent lives.
Look at the news, the ever ongoing war, traffic problems all over, the drugs wars started in the US and ongoing with atleast seven busts a day in Britain, never ending taxes, smog; people being afraid of insults, getting shot, raids and assaults by police, also happening in Belgium! Our policemen are there to help society. The civilian for the civilian with the power to work in function; not to use or abuse that particular function, like some might think with their position. Lady justice holds her balance in the middle with the blindfold on; leave her deciding which is right and wrong, not those who operate in function to aid a good working society in peace; without too much military power to oppress it’s citizens.
It is not true, that which I wish for, that reality is not true at all! Every day recklessness is demanding lives of innocents every day. Zero tolerance is which gets top priority and the principles of a true gentlemen are no more. This brings a rather bitter and bad taste in your mouth, isn’t it? Reading the true reality around you, which is happening around you while you are sitting in your warm bubble. Probably not everything will not be in that collection of oddities around your taste and likes; but the true feeling of what most around us really crave for will not be in our living quarters for a long time…
So, where did we fast-forward to a society where everyone thinks about themself, where bankers have taken over the world and countries are getting technologically locked down more secure than Fort Knox with their citizens put captive in the net of “intelligence” where others have more rights above your privacy? Oh, or didn’t I mention already, that privacy is no more for a long time? It’s like the terrorists have won and our own people who got the power to change, have taken over to keep all the others in terror…
And the world keeps going on, we keep swallowing which we are given to eat and breath and keep accepting what goes on around us. We all call it the “normal way of living”, where we deal what gets on the menu by daily base. But, for how long exactly till things get really out of hand, where everyones comfort is at risk? Or atleast; which we used to call comfort in the old days as gentlemen, where one of the primary rules was to stay friendly to everyone at all times and discuss and relativate problems, instead of sponsoring the nearest hospital.
That reality … should not be true for any country around the world.
If you don’t like it, you can always try to bend reality to your own way by reading quantum space…

First of all I’d like to say, great article! I’ve got a big question bothering me, I really like the design of your site and tried to download the same theme on my Worpdress blog. However, there is some kind of strange php error in the footer. Do you have any tips, what settings are you using? Please PM me on Twitter @HealthTipz or per e-mail.
I’m sorry but I have no idea which template I was using back then; if it was the gray one – I am modifying by myself to get it back to compatibility stage; if it was another (the zkboi template) – that one is exclusively only for the zkboi website; with all due respect..
I like that
, (at least the bits I could make out easily). I suffer from color blindness (tritanopia to be exact). I mainly use Opera browser (no idea if that matters), and a lot of this site is tricky for me to make out. I know it is my problem to deal with, in truth, nonetheless it would be nice if you could take into account us color challenged types when doing your next site redesign.
I sure like to go deeper into this; to create or install a template for those with bad vision and color blindness. Are it the colors or the backgrounds which make it difficult to read or are there any aspects I should look out for?
The goal is to deliver “the message” to anyone around the world; that includes those with vision problem; so I’d sure like to fix this for the future for you and any other visitors.
Hi zkboi,
The words in your blog post are indeed bitter, but not necessarily negative. Rather than putting a blame on certain “interest groups”, you seem to try spreading awareness of what’s happening to all of us as a society.
People do live in bubbles… blissfully unaware of their effect on others. Grouped together, we tend to deny our own stupidity. Traffic jams, pollution, poverty, disaster, fear, doubt, aggression… is beyond our control. Mostly because for the past few years, a lot of focus is put on consumption. You have to buy stuff to belong to a group. Be assertive, buy a house, buy a car, watch the news, have a well-toned body and use the perfumes, make-up, … hell, they even sell man-bags these days!
This misleading over-focus on a “cool” personality and individuality really pushes people into believing they have a choice in this world. Smoking and drinking is popular too, but it probably won’t make you a better person… How does consuming something make one great?
The real reality can be read between the lines of your blog post. No one really has control over the situation, or control over their damaging effects on the surroundings. They live in a smaller world… a shiny, bubbly world.
To see the real truth, you first need to give up your individuality, your ego, and your plans. This way you can see what you are really doing, and that you are no different than the others who try to dream their way through life, one day at a time.
Personally, I just became an IT freelancer. I quit my job at my company because I realized that I have been sleeping for several years. They trick you into believing there is progress and promotion, while you are actually locking yourself up in your warm, little bubble. As a 30 year old guy, I felt that it was the right time for taking matters into my own hands. To wake up, and be creative again. After all, it is security and over-confidence that makes us fall asleep.
Fantastic stuff but wanted to let you know I’mhaving some trouble viewing in my browser (Google Chrome
You have reminded me of one of my favorite quotes: “Life is a series of collisions with the future; it is not the sum of what we have been, but what we yearn to be.”
