WHO IS CONTROLLING US?????

The burning question is are we all being subtly controlled....the majority of people work 9 to 5 in jobs they don't like all their lives and would never dream of doing any different. Is this how it should be?

I'm not suggesting that we all drop out, laze around and start taking drugs, far from it - but what would happen if more of us did things that we really wanted to do? Not the romantic what the media has brainwashed us into thinking we would do if we didn't work i.e. travel the world, ride in hot air balloons, eat in fancy restaurants and laze around.... more like make art, films, music, work in 3rd world countries, write books or plays whatever.....

Who exactly is it who controls us and stops us questioning and following our dreams is it ourselves? society? media? government? aliens? god? Just who is controlling who?

Sometimes it feels like we are all being subtly brainwashed, we have computers and tvs that are turning us slowly into vegetables. We are being de-politicised, we find it hard to think for ourselves, we have lost faith in love - and I don't mean the crappy tinseltown version of love we are fed in the movies - but real nitty gritty everyday love. Love for your fellow man (or woman), love for your kids, love of your partner (you know the one you would die for), love of life, planet earth and all who sail in her....

Who am I kidding.....pass me some prozac and I'll go get a job in Sainsburys.....
