Help Steemians,
What is wrong with this picture?? One could say that this individual ended up this way due to lack of exercise. You might also say this simply resulted from poor eating habits such as a sugar laden diet or "unhealthy" snacking. Truthfully these last statements do hold merit here but the results of this happening run far deeper into the psyche.
We are accepting this when we look in the mirror. Why? Because the lifestyle we lead has led us into a hellish abyss that is hard to escape. For a large percentage of people in the world, obesity is a norm. We have bartered our time for a fiat currency that is worthless by going to our J.O.B. (just over broke) just to be able to afford a trip to the drive thru and maybe an alcoholic beverage to wash it down. Why? It is a mental reward. A chemical reaction in our brain caused by the ingestion of food and drink designed to stimulate your pleasure center while at the same time poisons your cells, hardens your arteries, and destroys the healthy biome of the lower intestine. And we do all of this because we think we deserve it.
Perhaps we deserve the heart disease, cancer, diabetes and all the other vast killers that we create. But if we are unaware of the results of our habits, are we truly to blame? For the most part; no. The powers that be have been manipulating the average person through propaganda for a better part of 80 years, and they have become damn good at it. By engineering a diet made up or mostly processed foods, combined with animal products and saturated amounts of sugars, the average person simply believes what has happened to them is just a normal result of aging. And when the diseases start, we just accept those as well because we have already been programmed with a lifetime of pharmaceutical commercials and ads. We just expect to get sick and when we do we just expect to have to take the drugs... that's just the way it is.
Throughout my years I have become formally and pseudo educated in many fields, mostly pertaining to the human phenomenon. I can tell you from study and living proof that this is not a normal progression for a human being. This person suffers both mentally and physically and yet through mainstream manipulation, is unconscious of their fate. The day you wake up and look in the mirror and accept what you see, is the first day you will understand what it is like to be the real you.
I wake every morning and open my eyes and know I have accomplished what it is to be human; I am alive. For the rest of the day I accept what ever it is that life has in store for me and I take with an open mind.
Peace,
The Last Sage
