Not

IN a world that is more and more defined by selling information rather than products, we become a product; we are the product. This is no secret, or shouldn’t be. Our privacy means nothing. “Rights” becomes an empty and meaningless word meant to appease our sense of justice. More important becomes our use to others, how we can allow “them” to profit.

This is the society that we live in. To re-create, to find our “rights”, to get out of such a society (if you so desire) is to be ever vigilant, always working towards a clear end: to be left alone by those who will not give you that right.

To retain a vestige of our humanity we must pay the price of “not”.

-of not choosing comfort and ease as ends.

-of not accepting what is presumed to be free, of not following norms, of not accepting any hive mentality.

-of not asking questions in order to turn our heads away from facts and reality.

Remember: we are nothing if not ourselves. Know who that is and what others can do to take that away.
