Life (Mr. Big Guy), speaking out of several billion sides of Its Mouth all at the same time, saying "Ooooh, look over here!" "Noooo, look over there!" and causing waves of reverberating echoes in the brains of the terminally unwary that are truly deafening (and enlightening) to behold. It is like thunder in an worldwide electrical storm, but amplified only to the degree necessary so that every person on the planet can hear it. Omnitaneously. One can, if quite attentive - listen up! - actually hear heads-and-necks snapping this way and that way in order to catch a glimpse of the "next big thing". (Do you hear the sound of your own voice? Hmmm?)
If you really want to know who gets scammed by this tactic, this strategy of Life's to seduce-by-distracting you and everyone, all-at-once, time without end: you only have to look in the mirror... (Do you see the face of confusion? Hmmm?)
Better than all that continual, never-ending, moment-by-moment, totally automatic, and intellectually tiring whiplashing and necksnapping just to find the "something" going on out there, is the "Passion Play" going on between your own ears. As Life, the Pusher, injects Its particular brand of "Joy-juice" through your nervous system, there you are, trying to regain some kind of "equilibrium", and maintain The Only Absolute Truth (Silence, remember?), but, sadly for most, submitting yet again to the Call of the Wild Guy ("Lookee here--->"), but, as always and everywhere, Failing. (Right on schedule though, so you've got lotsa company! There's that!)
The Dominant overcomes the Submissive. The Complex consumes the Simple. Over and over and over, fighting it out between your ears and behind your eyes, till you die, The End... (Do you feel your life draining away? Hmmm?)
Oh yeah, better luck "next time", except for the fact there IS NO "next time".
ps: "There you go again!"** (Ronald Reagan, 1980 Debate with Jimmy Carter)
pps: "Insanity: doing the same thing** over and over again and expecting different results." (Einstein)
***same thing, again?: Rather than Changing the situation (one's mechanics) in some Meaningful, if not long-lasting way - hell, go for Permanence if you are able - humans continually submit to the Call, and make another Noisy Nonsense Comment About It. Like THAT is going to matter somehow.
