Truth in the modern society

When God wants to punish, he takes away the mind, they say. When people want to punish, they take away the truth.

Everything is upside down in the world as if it were a madhouse and the crazies took over and rule now.

Happy hour is sad hour. Bars serve mocktails and bartenders give you a look if you order a cocktail with alcohol.

Drug junkies are news junkies consuming mass media like heroin.

Magazines issued without Photoshop and new injection medicine creates more wrinkles because old is in trend—the older the better.

TV anchors present subjective news.

People are appreciated for not showing emotions, especially celebrities; and everybody wants to be just like them.

Men are objectified and women are praised for being strumpets.

All professions are put before names for everyone, not just for doctors and presidents.

Face tattoos are business attire.

Empathy becomes a personality disorder.

Doctors prescribe social media as a remedy for loneliness.

The Department of Labor doesn’t provide labor.

The Nobel Prize for World Peace is given to those who started at least one war.

Authorities arrest loyal friends and handshake with enemies. Broke countries become biological and medical waste landfills. Coup d’état is called current festivities. Whisper is loud and yelling is not heard. Mass opinion forms Hollywood movies and Hollywood creates an agenda for the Pentagon. Peace foundations sponsor wars. Alcohol production companies sponsor sports.

Non-verbal communication prevails over verbal and people barely speak. Everyone knows their bodies and understands their own emotions and the psychology of other people. A wristwatch is the most valuable thing because it can track time which is as expensive as coal can be. Yes, coal is the new diamond, goes best with the yellow-gold setting.

No one goes on adventures and networking is condemned.

Everyone replies to texts and calls back after a missed call all the time.

Old definitions are reinvented and new definitions simply suck. Lie is now truth and truth is now lie.

And then everybody stops being high and things go back to normal. If only it was that easy. The truth is nothing can go back to normal. Ever.
