United State of America

Hi everyone

Notice the word state is singular that was not a typo, that's the point of this post. Have you noticed that now when you travel from town to town they all look the same and have the same stuff. Every town has a Starbucks, Lowe's, McDonald's, Target, Walmart, and this list go's on. Where are all the mom & pop shops that made places unique that had a personal touch and offered something different even if it was just the atmosphere. Now everyone is trying so hard to be different and they are really just aiming to be the same but don't even realize it. Just really look at people, everybody has tattoo's now and piercings all trying to be different when you were born different already. Because those things really serve no real purpose or add any benefit as far as I can see, sure you can say it makes you feel this way or that but I think that's just an excuse. And I am not knocking anyone who has these things but I am just pointing out that so many are now getting stuff like this that its becoming abnormal to not have one or the other or both. The same thing has happened in our world with our towns, I remember when I was a kid I would ask my mom, why cant we all just be the same then there would be no problems, and she would tell me what a boring world that would be. And that's right we need to be more aware that we are all already different and going out of your way to change your physical appearance is pointless when you were born different. But I also don't blame anyone because it is our culture that I believe has tricked people into thinking that way, the unseen evil force that has taken over in so many ways is infiltrated society using Television would be the main cause I think. So the point of this is to remind people that you are different and maybe it doesn't seem that way but you are, so just look deep within yourself and turn off the TV and be yourself and the world around us will reflect that also. You don't need to change your appearance just be yourself and for gods sake turn off the television its teaching you nothing of value. So get out and experience life first hand not through the TV and change our physical world by being yourself.

Thanks for reading

Now everyone is trying so hard to be different and they are really just aiming to be the same but don't even realize it.

This is no different than it's been for at least 100 years. My older sisters were given dancing lessons because Shirley Temple could dance. I was put in a marching band because of the movie The Music Man wherein the protagonist postulated that kids would get into trouble if they didn't have organized activities. And then, after learning how to play a trumpet, I was forbidden to join a dance band because musicians smoked marijuana. So I became a "hippy," dressed in old clothes, let my hair grow, smoked pot, did acid, because it was a way of separating myself from the "mainstream." It was a "program." Those in power used mind control through music and media to direct segments of the population so they could extract dollars from them. Woodstock was the epitome of that thrust. Then came yuppies and wallowing in materialism. Now it's all about fame and fortune. Tattoos and fuchsia hair are just the outward manifestation of the next program, the next phase of social engineering. We have the capacity to think through all of this, but few of us ever do. Glad you're waking up!
