Being Human Being Zooman?

Is being a human easy? Well that really depends on what you identify as a human. From my apartment office I can see a large office block. At 8-30am they arrive on mass for a day in the badly lit room, where their day is already planned out for them. At 1:00pm they file out of the building whilst they break for lunch. Some sit outside on the concrete steps in the sunshine, smoking and eating, others vanish and return later with a full stomach. At precisely 5:pm a huge mass almost a swarm of locusts leave the building only to block the small roads around the building for the next 45 minutes. The beeping of horns, the rage in the faces and the blood pressure rises. Home, eat, bed, repeat! Being human isn't easy these days. The trapping of Zoomanity have a well laid out plan for mankind. Work hard, behave and the rewards will come. Rewards of cars, holidays or new things that soon become old things. The cycle repeats until death. Lets think about this. Each person naturally wants a great life. They want health, happiness and all it entails. In younger years while the mind is relatively clear they can think and more important dream about what will be or cou8ld be. Dreams of achieving, fame, supporting, recognition, large family, something, anything extraordinary. With relative ease all of them, the young minds, the clear, fresh and unpolluted minds will say "I can't wait to do that" Zoomanity takes a grip, it begins to add information, more and more and more weekly, daily, almost buy the hour. Life becomes complicated, complex, cluttered. Jobs need doing, bills need paying, obligations for the office and co-workers must be held. At the same time the joy and fun and ambition has been replaced by a cycle of "impossible"! Then and only then does being a human become tough. The reason is the human has become a zooman. Manipulated, controlled, conditioned by Zoomanity and it has or has not to offer. The results are easy to see as I stand on my apartment balcony looking down at the office workers pouring in and out, day in day out trapped, held down by the flawed concept, the unreachable dreams of Zoomanity. It's clear change is needed but where does change begin? It's worth recalling through history and time that the human lifestyle was not always this way. What we see as a good life was not always this way. The chase for the bigger, the better, the more successful is a relatively new phenomena in the history of mankind. Today Zoomanity shares its concept of happiness through the gathering of things. Things must be paid for. The only way to pay for them is to get a good job. Houses, apartments, cars, holidays the things that are like small snacks, you eat them but never feel quite fulfilled, they are just a teaser until the next snack. It's sad, some people begin to plan a holiday the second the arrive home from the one they have just been on. They then can't wait for the same time next year. Their happiness is now future based. The rest of the year is used to simply support the next snack of happiness. There is an answer of course, there always is. Where are you now in life? Do you control your life, every aspect of your life or are you in the grip of Zoomanity? Only you can answer that as I sit drink my favorite recipe for rock star tea and watch Zoomanity as it continues to manipulate, control and condition mankind.
