Hidden Hierarchy?

January 14, 2024 
Waking up this morning was hard. Not in a sense of “I don't want to get up”, but more of I couldn’t, my body felt as if it had become the bed. But my dogs had to go out, and one of them, a small teddy bear sized one, jumped on me and licked my face, everything a dog does when it wants your attention. So, I forced myself to move and just got the heck up. 
 
I guess that proves something really. 
That we all have a reason to wake up in the morning. We all have someone to wake up for, whether it be a dog, a girl, a child. We all have something. I'm sure you have all heard this at least once or twice in your life, but I feel like not enough people take it to heart. As I sit here, a 15-year-old dude, who only has dogs and family to look forward to every day, I think about the world around me, and the people, and what are thinking about the world around them, and the people around them, and so on. 
 
Its not really open-mindedness or mindfulness, it’s just ‘being’. We are all here, but some of us aren’t ‘being’ here, we are elsewhere, in our mind, body, dreams, etc. We focus on the “what was” or the “what will” not the “what is”. In turn that causes people to detach or get too attached to what it is they are thinking about and get distracted from the main point of what they should be focusing on. And then others see a chance and take it. What chance? The chance to control, to overpower, to dominate the consumed, the ‘consumer’. They create these things that control the daily lives of the consumer, they orchestrate these distractions to appear at just the right times, or shall I say wrong times. I’m sure we have all experienced this, and it may be just a “coincidence”. A coincidence multiple people have experienced? Ever thought about something, like “Oh, I want some Veggie Straws” or “Oh, dang, I need to replace that microwave” and then, go online, and see an ad for Veggie Straws, or you turn on the tv and a commercial plays and it’s an appliance store ad, and they have 50% OFF ALL MICROWAVES! ? 
 
Yeah.  
Strange. 
Or maybe im just yapping, who knows.
