opium of the masses
today i finnished my trial HSC exams...
pok is 21 on saterday. yay.
what is most remarkable about the people around me and the people i love and the people that love me and the people i hate and the people that hate me is that, often, they are the same people. and that sometimes, slightly less often, those people are all the same person. me. and yet, what continues to occurr is the suprise and the unexpected pleasure of finding these things out. theres nothing new under the sun, the opium of the masses, the uphoria of the crowds continues at much the same rate, as it always has, for mush the same reasons. the need to conform and fit in is taken advantage of, exploited. and well we deserve it. the need to have a leader to follow blindly into debt and all things forgoten. i went to theatre sports last night, and poks housemate Brodie made a wonderful point, unitentionally im sure, in a skit. she said somthing to the effect of: 'one day a man decided to do an experiment. he stood in the
same spot, and stared in awe at thin air. eventually someone noticed and stood next to him, and stared at the same thin air. soon lots of people came and they all stood, close together, staring at the same blank spot. when there was a large group the first man walked a little away from the group, and faced them; pointing at them, and staring. Eventually someone else noticed him pointing and staring at the large group, so they he stopped and stared too. Soon ANOTHER huge group of people was standing there, staring at the big group of people staring at nothing.' opium of the masses. ecstasy of the people. uphoria of the crowds. bleating of the sheep.
