America's Image: Backstabbers with a Smile

Not one bit proud to be what it has become to mean to be American. Whether it's in your own neighborhood or at the corporate level, people seem more concerned with disrupting your happiness than with dealing with their own lives. And they'll sell you out in a heartbeat if they can find something on you that in their warped minds makes them somehow "ahead" or whatever you call it that results in being competitive in snow shoveling, dog walking, management position or profit sharing percentage. And no, if you ever stepped out from your protectionist border bubble you 'd see it's not this way everywhere else - even if it is that way somewhere else. In this small world of Remote-Control Mind Patrol where people automatically, almost frantically rush to do whatever the other guy is doing, which, however annoying, is better than nothing I guess, for filling in the emptiness of spirit, connection, compassion, even original thought.

Whether someone sees what you are doing "on paper," "on film," "on tape," - or NOT - you're choosing to do it, you're doing it, and nothing in this universe goes unpaid for. This is a universal law which doesn't necessarily show its face at the level of "court of law". Intent is the key factor, and whether or not your actions can be traced like a prostitute reservation on a politician's Paypal account, your intent determines your remiss. Intentionally causing distress in someone's life no matter if it crosses some line of legality, is rotten - in the workplace, on the highways, or in your own neighborhood. And it's at a shameful all-time high in this nation and almost brought to the level of praise-able!

That's warped, that's how far gone this society is and why it's even quicker to point to someone else as being the dysfunction, because an honest dysfunction blows their cover of lies and hidden truths about themselves. This has become a society of collective denial psychosis, and if you don't join the lie, you're the one who is ganged up on as having the problem, when if you aren't outraged by the state of our world at present then you're on too many prescription mind glue pills. If your answer is not change a thing and go on spreading your false goodness while over-breeding in an already cramped world and local community, then it looks like you're getting just what you deserve... Truth and true compassion will prevail.
