Social Apocalypse

December 21, 2012 - it is the prophesied date by the Mayans that deals with the end of the world. But what do they mean with the "end of the world"? Will it be about tsunamis, asteroids, tornadoes, and volcanoes? Probably. And that's what almost all the people think when they hear that phrase. But in my opinion, I think it's a different apocalypse.

Yeah. I may be in denial or maybe I don't believe in prophecies and shit but I am starting to come up with a plausible and possible scenario of an apocalypse that the Mayans (and almost all of us) have feared of. What am I talking about?

Well, I'm referring to the earth's social apocalypse or to make things simple, the downfall of society. No, there won't be any manifestation of the undead... yet. There will be no wastelands and ruins of cities in this particular scenario I'm thinking of. But I'm talking about people being too simple-minded and people being consumed by consumerism, capitalism, materialism, and all other negative "-isms" you can think of. I'm also talking about art and culture being ignored and set aside because people nowadays prefer to see, hear, and experience garbage and shit in the form of popular culture.

Another point is about how most people's minds shrink down until the shrinking kills their maximum thinking capacity. People may not think critically anymore and they will just obey whatever the mainstream media dictates to them. Hence, they become social zombies.

Once people lay their eyes on too much shallowness and stupidity in the media, they become infected with the mind-shrinking parasites they have acquired from the idiot box or most stations and sites on the radio and the internet, and slowly but surely, the parasites consume their minds and they will become apathetic to the things they should be prioritizing about like education, health, art and culture, and maybe politics.

Is there a possible cure and prevention? There is a possibility for a cure and for ways of prevention. The ways of prevention are: first, switch off your damn televisions if you're watching too much stupidity. Second, don't believe everything and anything you see, hear, and read online or on television or on the radio and even from persons YET. Give yourself the benefit of the doubt before you believe in certain things. The third way is to have an open mind and not absorb everything. Learn how to filter thoughts, beliefs, and opinions. Eat, digest, and swallow if you think it's nice and sensible but spit if it's stupid, disgusting, shallow, and just plain shitty. For the cure, well, smack the bejesus out of the infected individual or kick his or her ass.

If all else fails, stay away from them and keep your sanity and reality in place. Don't let the zombies infect you or else, you'll lose yourself along the hoards of no-brainers. Keep thinking and live your life the way you want it to be. If you heed my advice, you'll be fine. And finally, about those infected, keep them quarantined and keep them away from the uninfected global population.
