Ink, pink, you stink, practicing your Doublethink

"His mind slipped away into the labyrinthine world of doublethink. To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them; to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it... to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly forget it again: and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself. That was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become uncounscious of the act of hypnonsis you had just performed." -1984, George Orwell

This is truly the great pastime of the western world. Throughout my day, this is what i have been trained to believe. The lie that we are telling ourselves is that everything is Okay. i am Okay. You are Okay. The world is Okay. All of this is to prevent the truth from being know.

Truth #1: There is true suffering in the world.
Truth #2: i am directly or indirectly culpable for a considerable amount of the suffering in the world.
Truth #3: Justice demands that there be a reckoning for this responsibility.
Truth #4: No one posseses the currency required, in and of themselves, to repay this debt.
Truth #5: A sponsor, capable and willing of removing this debt must become involved.

The vast majority of 1st world ideology, time, entertainment, and resource is focused around the distraction from one of these major truths.

Daily, i reach for the red pill and as i swallow, taste the subtle flavour of blueness.
