The "Reality" of the "Matrix" of Unreality

Some of us live in our own so-called "Reality" which in actuality is a "Matrix" of Unreality.  They choose to ignore the problems of the world, to turn their shoulders on their brothers and sisters of the human race, to believe what they are hand held in small dosages by media outlets controlled by a handful of companies, believing that politicians have their best interests in mind, and for refusing to believe they are not controlled by the Corporatocracy.  

When I look around me at my peers and the so-called “reality” they live; I sometimes find myself in utter disbelief leading to a near trance like state of depression.  Why? The vast majority of us are so caught up in our own "reality" which is built on materialism, greed, fear, obesity, addiction, narcissism, and overconsumption we are too busy to notice the misfortunes of those not only in other less fortunate areas of the World we share, but to those we encounter each and every day.  We choose to ignore and escape to our “realities” which are a comforting part of the “matrix” of unreality each of us creates.

People are worried about what car they drive, clothes they wear, what trendy club they go to and spend hundreds and in some cases thousands of dollars to consume a poison that is socially accepted, men having numerous watches which cost more than the amount it would take to feed hundreds if not thousands of starving children, women apply cosmetics in amounts that cost more than it would to keep a child from dying of thirst, we waste, we pollute, then we only pretend to care because it is the "in" thing to do.  Meanwhile we never answer or seek to ask the real question, "What can I be doing to help"? 

Open your consciousness and be awakened to the reality of the world.
