Letter To Michael Leunig Analysis
Dear Michael Leunig,
I had an interview with a CNN reporter today. Unfortunately, the intelligent lady wasn’t intelligent enough to ask me all the relevant questions. Instead of addressing the sinister secrets of the NSA that I had so courageously revealed, she concentrated on me as a whistleblower, daring to ask questions like “So how are you dealing with all the hate?” Honestly, what else could I have expected from a CNN reporter? That’s all this is to these people; a tabloid, a piece of gossip. Their heads are too full of other people’s irrelevant lives, to absorb the information right in front of them that actually can make a difference in the world. All I did was act out of my conscience. The world is clearly constructed by our actions, but they’d rather establish the world as a superficial trap of consumerism, with …show more content…
There is a regnant idea that insanity is something belonging to lone individuals, to those odd people who are obviously not like the rest of society. There seems to be little active authority or understanding in the matter of the persistent shared madness in everyday life. The loss of individuals is due to a market-driven fait accompli that redefines the reality of who we are and what we must submit to. This is what causes the soul to suffer. It’s the lunacy of the soul, the cold human hollowness, the emotional flatness and numbness, the moral emptiness because ‘thou shalt be attractive’ is the eleventh commandment of our time. We are brainwashed consumers, forced into narrow views and boring realities. Let us also not forget the contemporary, man-made, verily spreading dependency on technology that has been injected into the minds of the younger generations. Evidently, it now rules the lives of modern humanity by attaching itself to almost every task possible. Slowly, but surely, citizens are becoming the confirmative, occupied, submissive robots that the government blueprinted decades
