now is one of those times. it's usually after i've watched a movie or youtube clips of famous people being all famous and whatnot. i start to think about how pointless fame is, and yet at the same time how powerful it is. the famous are a force to be reckoned with. whole countries listen to them, and for what? so we can be influenced by the extremists in the media and take notes on how they live so we can do likewise?
oh america. how silly you are. you exult fools and folly, and in so doing, condemn your children to further foolishness. but what then?
will we continue in a downward cycle until the only people in the public eye are those willing to lower their standards?
will we try to better ourselves?
will we turn to emotion, art, ideas, or other ultimately useless knowledge?
will we seek truth?
will we value goodness?
will we abandon all former discernment and chase after only the new, exciting thing?
only God knows.
Good stuff. :)
