The Renaissance Of Desensitization by bobbybrown007: 6:46am On Jan 11, 2017 |
This morning I woke up and the first thing I reached
for was my phone, it was a sort of subconscious
process. I then spent 10 mins browsing instagram
and another 5 on Facebook where I read about the
Brazilian team that died in flight. I went and
showered; thereafter I started my prayer and mid-
way through such my phone rang, I broke prayer
turned it off then resumed praying. As I got up a
notification popped up on my screen it was a CNN
broadcast of a supposed act of terrorism, my mind
and spirit sunk. I got I'm my car and began driving
whilst contemplating all that I've mentally consumed upon waking up. A few minutes into driving I was passing a high school and a kid (no older than 13) walked out into the road whilst engaging with his phone. I almost hit him, luckily I was only going about 20km per hour. I slammed on the brakes, he glanced at me while partially in the road then scuttled across the street; seemingly unfazed he carried on just the same, head to phone, mind consumed, zombie mode intact. It brought back memories of all the videos and photos I've seen on social media with people fighting, crying and even dying while others record and snap photos whilst scrambling for the best angle and lighting; some even encourage it all for the sake of likes, views and status. This is not humanity, it is depravity. A super imposed ideology which has torn down the very foundation of our morality. We are becoming what we aren't, dying while living. We are the living dead. |
