After almost seven decades I begin to notice that for most Americans, life is about
Going to work
Family
Watching sports
Action films
Social media / smartphones
Music with a strong, insistent rhythm (hip-hop, rock, soul, pop...)
and
Everything must be and is a set-up for a punch-line or a joke
(hence the content of commercial advertising to appeal to this sensibility)
Everything is a gag.
Of course, that is "better" than living in a country where there is civil unrest and widespread violence or grinding poverty.
But
Is that all there is?
A lot of chatter...that signifies 00000.
Much sound, much fury...
An emptiness that is not at peace with itself.
Let us reset the counter back to a truly sincere
00000.
