NOBODY KNOWS BUT YOU

NOBODY KNOWS BUT YOU





Is all this but a mental thing, stories planted in the mind, or even more in the headlines we call news.  And did notice lately how the printed word is losing out to digital-everything.  And now we are heading towards the cloud.  Saving trees, perhaps.  Still wiping our butts with forest products and chopping down trees and clearing land, because population is on the increase.  Or maybe that’s just another perpetuation of the media.  Nobody knows but you, and then sometimes even that is subject to interpretation and question.  And so this has me wondering, what’s new.  And is it really news, or just a continual creation of the publisher, done for money and that’s about it?  Not sure journalism and its integrity is in tact.  But that’s not really my topic for today.  Was wondering what the impact of digital technology  on our minds and behavior might be.  3-5 year olds playing violence-based video games, while Mom or Dad is in the shower.  And something persists.  How good is this.  And I suggest.  Nobody knows but you.  Its your children.  Your life.  Your story.  And again I wonder.  Is all of this but a mental thing?

High-Tech Humanity.  Is there such a thing.  Are we under the influence, always?  Is it a crime.  And so I explore and press on.  Unhinged by it all, probably not.  Is a constant state of finger pointing.  Exposure is money through branding.  Make a name for yourself.  Play it out and let the headlines pick up the story.  Matters not that it is inconsequential and a made-for-public creation.  Meeting and its a professional pursuit.  Media Creation.  Turning the light on certain individuals.  Keeping the story alive.  And is there a natural end to all things.  When they stop mentioning our name, Are we dead.  Are we more than just a story in the minds of others, Nobody Knows But You.  




All of this brings to mind and to the surface reflection of my last though, that a secret smile exists, radiates the room and night, as sarcasm and doubt is amplified by the physical presence of you.  Instant verification that I am in love with life and its off-springs.  Magical extension of population and DNA.  The example is everywhere.  DNA sampling.  Identify me by my biology and elemental Letters, A-B-C.  Forget the story, just come in, take a DNA sample and verify.  S/he was here.  Very clever how technology and science is taking over and becoming the reason for our existence.  Funding and Branding and Hearsay.  What is and is not.  Nobody Knows But You.

 
And often we are left in the dark.  People around us, even our government listen in, download our emails, and play and stream our lives.  On Demand.  Can we say this is true or not true.  Or will we be a fugitive if we do?  Rules and Justice and so much more.  Law and Order.  Keeping us in line.  And silence rules in many cases.  Here it is before our eyes, and we can not share it with others of our own kind.  Its that secret smile they radiate.  The privileged few who decide.  And that is what I am thinking.  Is it just a story.  Or a product of the mind, which threatens me and alters my behavior.  As I said in the beginning.  Nobody Knows But You.   

In the end I have to ask.  How much is too much.  Do I watch too much TV or screen-life.  Is my 4 year old playing violent video games and its showing in his behavior among The Littles.  Should I worry. What’s the concern here? 
When it comes to our children and even, to you and I.  The protection must be built-in to the life we live.

And suddenly it is being said, "It's us against them."
 But who is "us" and who is "them?
And then I realize:

Nobody Knows But You.  Maybe.
