To tell the tale of all the misfortunes of the world is a daunting task. Ever heard of the expression:
"What they don't know, won't hurt them?"
It's a bunch of lies and a cutting truth at the same time. The more you know about how things work, and the "cultural capital" hierarchy, the more you wonder...
Would ignorant people even want to know the truth, if they can't change the outcome of their situation?
Having knowledge about something that is out of reach does not equate to a pleasant reality. It's as simple as material goods...before that you knew that cars like BMW's existed you didn't want one. But now that you do know, that is all you think about, and your Toyota sedan doesn't catch the light quite like it used to...it looks quite dull in fact.
Who has power in this world? Rich people. Why do they have power? Because they're rich. How did they get to power? They had more resources available to them, because they are rich. Deciding the fate of an overwhelming majority is left in the hands of crooked politics and educated yuppies. It's a foolproof system....you can't win. The politics have the yuppies running in circles, too busy to use the educated minds, paid for by ridiculous amounts of money at ivy league schools.
How do u break the cycle is like asking how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie pop. The answer isn't worth knowing, unless put into action.

its catch 22, we want to know the truth about shit like love, our future, & the Lost Finale. but once we sort-of figure it out, & we don't like the outcome, we see the grass on the other side of the fence... and it's blue-er. Excellent posts, michelle.
