Shock Therapy

You walk around, any major city today, and all you see, are people, messed up. They either look, broken down, dazed, or hyper. They are all crazy, in one way, or another. This is probably, why, shock therapy, is a popular form, of treatment, for mental conditions. It makes people, who are hyper, or dazed, feel normal. It however, does not work too well, as its effects, only last, for a certain, time period. One must understand though, how people, become as such. It all has to do, with knowing, whom you really are. This is rather different, from knowing, whom you are. Whom you really are, at its heart, is about ones motivations, interests and wishes. You have to know this, before you start living. Whom you really are, can be some thing like, a journalist, scientist, soldier, mechanic, teacher, scholar or, a robber, thief, burglar, gangster, nazi, racist, and all the likes. Each of these, psychological profiles, are responsible, for how we live, our daily lives. Most people out there, don't know, about these profiles, very well, and treat them, more or less, like jobs. A journalist, for instance, can turn turncoat, and become, a private detective. The reason, why the western world, is hugely popular, to other regions in the world, is because, they are more or less, the source, of most psychological profiles, out there. It goes, with the culture.

However, today, most people walk around, looking dazed, or hyper, due to not knowing, whom they really are. This is because, of, computer technology, and automation. They have resulted, in psychological profiles, being erased, or being co-adapted. They have become, something else, something technical. Due to this, we have seen, the rise of problems, known as technicalities, as former free psychological profiles, attempt to adapt, to a computerized, and automated world. A terrible world, in many ways. People, simply lack, the motivation, to live life, due to not being free, to express themselves, fully. As a result, many walk around, looking broken down, dazed, or hyper.

The resultant end, of all this, has been an attempt, to make people, feel good, about themselves. This has been done, in three ways: merchandising, advertising and branding. While all three, are legitimate ways, of selling stuff, they are today, misused, and abused. Merchandising, is often targeted, towards people, who are broken down. People defeated, by life; mainly because, no one out there, will help them. Merchandising, is all about, taking something simple and basic, and selling it, in an attractive package. Merchandising, is heavily rampant, in the UK today. Advertising, is often targeted, towards people, who are in a daze. People, who just don't know, what to do, with themselves. Branding, is targeted, towards, hyper individuals. People who seem to know, what they want to do, but have no idea, how to go about it.

When you look, around, any city today, one might believe, all they see, is residents. They simply believe, that most cities out there, are stratified, by class. Rich, middle and poor. It is not so. Cities today, are often stratified, with regards, to civil law. This means, that society, is very much, divided, into, open society/market, underground market and the black market. The open society/market, is usually heavily influenced, by advertising. The people, who make it, and are often dazed, often belong to any of these, three groups: middle class, poor and immigrants. The underground market, is heavily controlled, by merchandising. It consists, of people, who can be classified, as illegal immigrants. The black market, often serves, those, who are targeted, by brands. This group, mainly consists, of the rich. By the black market, it is meant, that the rich, get better deals, on just about anything, than the average joe. It is a black market, because, it is not regulated, but is legal. A stock tip, from a clever joe, is part, of the black market. The masses, have to pay, some money, to hear out, a clever joe.

In order, for civilization, to progress, people have to know, whom they really are. Otherwise, you have 'sedated' people, walking around, looking for meaning, in their lives. The advancement, of civilization, has always been due, to psychological profiles. This is a game, that is been played here. In the old days, people often resolved, any major problems, with physical violence. No where else, has this been so well represented, than in the Bhagavad Gita. The Indians, knew how to do war, ceremoniously. People died with honour, then. Those, who controlled society, where those, who had large armies, good land, and were favored, by the Gods. Then came along, the age, of, politicking. In this age, it was agreed upon, that physical violence, was outmoded, and psychological terror, was now, the norm. It is then, that psychological profiles, were created, for people in society, to deal, with any problems, and also very much, regulate society. In the age of politicking, one was supposed to come up, with psychological profiles, that allowed them, to be free, powerful, wealthy, and the likes. If a person, became powerful, and then a tyrant, one was supposed, to come up, with a psychological profile, to overthrow, this person. Thats politics. The masses out there, though, don't get it. They still think, its about, who has the biggest army. A journalist, can overthrow a King, with the truth. The game of politics, has been played, in several ways, in the past. In the beginning, it was all about, upstaging others, socially. If a person, became rich, as a merchant, another, tried, to be a baron. It was just a game, that moved, civilization forward. The person, at the top, got all the praise, women, and acclaim. Then came a time, when people, had generated, alot of wealth, and being wealthy, was not the main goal. People then, decided, to become, powerful. This game, was more crazy, and also interesting. Powerful people, are people, who regulate things. If a society, was not being properly regulated, someone, would attempt, to overthrow, the person, at the top. The regulator. This was done, via politicking. This was mainly, a game, of exposure. Exposure, is an act, that is the basis, of most acts, out there, today. In a fairly regulated society, just about any psychological profile, with the right strengths and weaknesses, could be at the top. Journalists, could become Kings. So could, swineherds. Today though, discriminatory activity, of all kinds, has ensured, this is not so.

A future though, is now coming, where the game of politics, is going, to change. Its going, to be a game, filled, with crazy people. What you will have, are people, going crazy, for one reason, or another, and those who will be free, to do as they please, including, rule, will be those, who know, how to deal, with the craziness. It is going to be a society, mainly about, people, losing interest, in life. The whole game now, will be the attempt, to prevent things, from being destroyed, or damaged. People, will have to reinvent, the old, and make it, new again, to enjoy life, or risk, going crazy. Thats politics, in the future. Reinvention, is always fun, as many song remixes, can be. Its going to be interesting, as Knight, meets Pharaoh.
