Not what it appears to be

human nature, amazing, humanities, WTF

I’m quite amused and have been for sometime about how people make important or even unimportant decisions based on appearances – it’s as if facts are irrelevant.

Hmm…..WTF am I talking about? Some may be thinking.

Here’s the thing: people like to feel that they are rational and intelligent, but in the end most people are not! Ooooo.. if you say that, it makes you arrogant instantly – or should I say, “I  appear arrogant and then that’s transformed into fact”.

All is not what it seems – is that okay? Or has anybody got a problem with that.

I am often privileged to look deeply into people’s lives. I can tell you that most people are living a lie. Yeah – I know – save it – I’m being arrogant again – innit? Well – allow me my say on my own blog, puhleese.

Deviating madly – or is that arrogantly – the exponential growth in appeal for reality TV documentaries and documentaries is just about that. What? About people peering into the lies that others live. You see if a proportion of people live lies, then clearly they wanna see what other lies others live. You get the source of attraction now – I hope?

Well, people make decisions about me and other things. How they come to their facts is clearly their business and not mine. I’m told I need to mind my business. So there!

I’m only here as a spectator upon the human race. It’s been a hilarious time. Yuh know – it’s like watching a movie – where you know that things are not for serious. It’s like one of those crime movies where there is a comedy twist to it.

Take Facebook. What’s on FB – not that I am (having left over 18 months ago). It’s the grand spectacle: everybody is having a fun time.. all smiles.. thumbs up.. friends and family all hugging and laughing – that’s the dream.. and Facebook has actually made a single man a billionaire. Why? Because he’s done a clever thing. Basically he’s tapped into the need for people to live in individual and social worlds built on dreams – and sold them what they want/need. As I’ve said in other places, if you wanna be popular, rich and successful – don’t be stupid like me – sell people fantasies and hopes they will enjoy.

So what’s next? Nothing. Life rolls on. It’s a song.. something like a nursery rhyme below.
