In Control or Being Controlled?

From the past to the present, I have always been in control of my own life. I remembered looking at television and being able to see myself in different worlds according to the programs and commercials that aired daily. According to my imagination, I was able to form and control my reality to my heart's content. I am sure that everyone had a character they have portrayed at sometime in their life. The importance of control is to know when to free yourself from your own illusions. Now, society is attacking us everyday. The cartoons of the past are no longer fit for children anymore. Commmercials, magazines, movies, and television places images into our minds that forces us to make drastic changes to ourselves. Humanity is losing control with reality. You do not have to become something or someone else to become popular. Be yourself! Seek knowledge and wisdom to better yourself as an individual. You do not need that tattoo, boob job, or plastic surgery to define yourself. Define yourself by loving yourself. That is the problem of today; no one loves or resepect themselves anymore. Everyone is assimilated into this "genjutsu" that if you be like the guy/woman on TV with the piercings, fake boobs, and tattoos, you can be happy. I think not! One day you will be old and you will regret the things you have done with your life. That is the reason why geniuses are outcasts. Beyond the smarts there lies a personality hidden behind a HUGE EGO most of the times. But a personaltiy exists still. That genius can control life by standing out from "the crowd" with intellect. Be an intellectual and take control of your life again!
