When I turn on the TV and the radio, I am quite positive their speech and visuals are being directed to keep my attention.  However, when asking my roommate and friend separately, they both deny that that's possible: oppression.  And to the well-intentioned celebrities?  It is quite a nice, well-timed gesture.  However, there is still no direct contact to me.  Am I being too harsh and unappreciative?

I do see all around the city and on TV body language that mimics mine, and I see the disadvantages of having this type of body language - too casual and careless: internalized oppression.

Gift: I see harmony all around me.  I see birds take off to flight, and seagulls, squirrels, and other animals in the city.  Is living on a farm a good move for me?

Are there readers out there that can relate to these realities?  Please let me know.
