It’s not like this isn’t common knowledge. We have all heard this before again and again. Turn on the news and you will find it there, displayed before your eyes in high definition. This pseudo culture is paraded before your ears and retinas in a constant bombardment. It’s in the air all around us. How can one develop defenses against it? I consider it to be impossible. We are victims to the hegemony. We are controlled by our needs, when we should be the masters of our needs. Yet we lose our concentration and focus and let the raw terror of the situation take over. The “raw terror, “let those words sink in for a bit. Mull them over in your mind if you can. Let the full significance and weight of their impact settle inside of you. Can you, is this possible for you? Am I asking too much of you? Is this another obligation that you are unable to fulfill, just like all of the other obligations that you left dying on the killing floor so to speak?
