As part of my degree requirement, I took a a class on career, which mainly covered assessments and theories on career choices/life spans. On our last class, our lecturer had us watch a film called Idiocracy (2006), a film directed by Mike Judge.
Not sure if you've seen this film, but it is a Sci-fi comedy. Here is the link to the trailer. As I watched the film, some parts were funny but other parts frightened me. Let's face it, many of our recent accomplishments had their origin in science fiction.
The next day, I'm at a gas station filling up my car. I look across to the next pumping station and see this person, lit cigarette in their mouth, puffing away as they are filling up their vehicle with gas. It then dawned on me .... the movie I watched is not really just sci-fi but a possibility of our future. People lacking common sense and decency.
I've been quite stressed as of late with the state of the world, which I'm sure many of you have also. I can't help but think about that movie and the direction the world is presently headed. It frightens me. Although I limit my social media access, the news still finds me, in my work and in my everyday experiences. Decency, respect, privacy and personal freedom is irroding. The cost of living has skyrocketed ... I fear for those who are already struggling financially.
I'm not sure where we are headed, but ... from my perspective, it's not looking good. We need a miracle!
I believe in kindness .... and respect ... it's a part of who I am.
Thank you for being a reader of my blog. I appreciate you ... Namaste!
