Oppression by friends and media (TV and radio)
Submitted by faladotla on Thu, 11/05/2009 - 3:18amWhen 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.
