Common Sense

Do you take photos just to have a document of your family and places you travel to? Or is it done with ego's need to report back to your family and friends, see where I have been! If so then you are in the trap of the surface need to be seen and not listened to.  

We absolutely have a need to document our lives. We need those pictures of our history, of our family's history in order to feel times ruinous momentum. We are trapped in time and space and our past, present and future are part of our families intimate existence.  These images usually end up in a album that are looked at when families get together. We see a physical replication of our past in these surface reflections, our own family heritage and this continuity strengthens our will to move forward in our own timeline. These images are artifacts of our family's past, present and future destiny whether good or bad. But these images do not delve deep into your conscious mind. 

We trust these image because they are family and in the family we share our deepest thoughts. If we don't share then we break apart and lose our continuity of purpose. 

To live in today's world of Social Media and Corporate News we see the break down of families inner unity. We see family life disintegrating, being separated from each other by the herded need to exploit ourselves for likes, that lead to followers, that lead to more hits and thus more ads to buy the products that reinforce our shallow human goal to promote and glamorize our lives as special to all eyes that demand our personality of fraud. 

Family is trusted with our most intimate details. These life events are not broadcast on social media just to get a few more selfish greedy eyes to look and like. If you think that posting everything and anything makes you more important then you are truly addicted to the non-reality of a poser's life. You don't understand the undercurrents of the business mind that lives and exploits everything you share and know. These distractions of social media play a game of hide and seek. An endless losing of your own dreams that disperse and flutter and puff they are gone because you have been distracted from living your life, by having your life exploited by the powers that be.

Common sense should tell people that to live a life is to breath it, to feel it, see it and to be it. It is not posts on any site for likes and ego power. It is to explore your own uniqueness and your creativity to produce a body of art that is you. This art is not to be exploited by media but to be given and shared by you for your fellow human beings. Not a post of delusions to distract you from your goals and placate the fearful intellect that believes that this surface reality is their existence.
