How do we find control in a world that is out of control? Look at listen and what you see and hear each day. It will not be long before there are remote controlled advertisements that will then manifest into programmed flying zeppelin-like machines that dangle neon messages about ways to save money by spending it on their products. None of this makes any sense yet we can do nothing about it. This is a living, breathing thing that was set loose many moons ago by a single idea. Now look at us. Look at what we have become.
We seek control in an out of control world because we all need to feel like we have control over something at least. I know a young lady who is more clueless than most people. However, she is content in her cluelessness because in her mind her two kids are in her control. So at least, in her mind, she has some control over something. All other decisions are made for her and not by her except with the kids. She has now transformed herself from citizen to mother. She will bring her kids up blaming everyone else. This cycle is what makes society weak and complacent, reliant on information that comes through media which is always questionable and usually out of control.
