I Just Want to Enjoy My Life

..watch my kids grow, go to places, wear nice clothes, listen to music, go to the movies, laugh with my friends, drive a comfortable car,

buy whatever is placed in front of me by advertisers and merchandisers,

what’s on TV or goes viral on social media.

I’m not bothered about the future, or the past,

other worlds beyond the horizon,

the spirits of the departed, the animal world, the wild, the lost, the suicidal,

or anything that interrupts my happy life – unless that is, it appears on facebook.

Then I will ooh and aah along with the herd, and even send £10 to help a poor person in dire need.

In this world that we now ‘live’ in, individual thought beyond main or social media is tantamount to insanity.

Confined inside this intellectual monoculture, we are all incredibly vulnerable as the predators bunch us into a tighter and tighter corner ready to strike.

The sky above fills with trails each morning and evening, trails which turn into clouds.  I don’t care.

I don’t want to look up from my gadget.  My smartphone puts 6 volts a metre into my baby’s brain and body.  That’s not my problem either.

We allow corporate medicines of no known effect to be injected into our children’s bodies,

wrecking their nervous and immune systems.  We feed them processed foods as it’s convenient to do so,

laced with toxins and with little nutritional value.  Our diesel cars spew out nitrous oxide and particulates causing asthma and yet more ill health.

5G is coming next, which will accelerate illness and social collapse even faster.  Suicide will increase, birth defects, infertility, cancers, diseases of the nervous system,

But I don’t care.  I don’t want to talk about it.

People who do are just conspiracy theorists.

My children’s lives are not my responsibility.

The collapse of democratic politics is of no concern to me, just a form of annoying entertainment.

I just want to enjoy my life.
