RE: Win 10 STEEM for best describing what it means to be "awake."

in #contest7 years ago (edited)

To be awake for most people means to wake up after a night of sleeping or after a nap.
Currently the meaning of being awake has become something more, something deeper and with a social significance.
Being awake means in this way to open your mind eyes to reality, to notice things that most people doesn't. Mass media, education, governments and all kind of people with real power over humanity wants the population to stay "asleep" this meaning not realizing how unfair the distribution it is. How equality is not real, people with money get a different justice than poor people, the also get different health system, different education. Different life... The idea that we all have the same opportunity to grow its a lie, most people doesn't realize it but this is the biggest slavery era ever... slaves with salary, but, what's the difference other than the physical violence, most people works almost all their life just to get food and a place to sleep.

So, if you realize that this is going on, you may say you are "awake"
There's also another meaning that I like and try to apply every day. This one is about not living in the past or in the future, being "awake" and living in the present moment every heartbeat.
They can say you are a crazy conspiracy theorist but that is just their way to show you to the people who's still "asleep" as a crazy person so they don't get also AWAKE!
PS: im a big conspiracy person... "illuminati" it's a real thing... you can give them the name you want.
