What if?
What if we could no longer rely on electricity? What if the radio was not working? What would it mean if your tv and x-box was inoperable? How would you handle it if all of your computers only output "error error"? Would you be able to entertain yourself? Would it mean using - heaven forbid - your brain? Thinking might be a necessity. I suppose you could just go down to the nearest bar and drink yourself into a stupor every night. But if you didn't... Imagine what could actually be discussed! What could actually be thought! You would not be able to rely on what is fed to you but what you think. True, it would be possible to still find people who could tell you what to think but it would not be fed so readily. People would no longer be concerned about what is going to happen on next week's Gilmore Girls. What about really discovering the answers? No wait. Before we can even look for the answers we need to learn the questions. Do we even know what questions need to be answered? Our lives have been so overrun by the media - music, reality tv, dramatizations, entertaining tv shows with no real point, even the news that focuses only on the "entertaining" stories - that our brains have shut down. Now something as simple as "thinking for yourself" is intimidating and uncomfortable at best. Indoctrination is something we have heard about and is known by everyone. Have you ever watched someone who is watching tv? How can we just sit there and let ourselves be so indoctrinated? How often have you ever seen indoctrination to be a good thing? How can you just sit there and willingly let it happen to you? Is it just because it easier to be a mindless drone or is it the comfort that is found in being just one of many?
And yet the irony ... I am currently absorbing my dose of the X-Files while taking my music intravenously. |

Tonight I saw a shooting star,
Made me wonder where you are.
For years I have been dreaming of you,
And I wonder if you're thinking of me, too.
In this world of cheap romance
And love that only fades after the dance,
They say that I'm a fool to wait for something more.
How can I really love someone I've never seen before?
I have longed for true love every day that I have lived,
And I know real love is all about learning how to give.
So I pray that God will bring you to me,
I pray you'll fnd me waiting faithfully.
(chorus)
Faithfully, I am yours
From now until forever.
Faithfully I will write,
Write you a love song with my life.
'Cause this kind of love's worth waiting for
No matter how long it takes.
I am yours
Faithfully, faithfully
Tonight I saw two lovers kiss,
Reminded me of my own loneliness.
They say that I'm a fool to keep on praying for you.
How can I give up pleasure for a dream that won't come true?
But I will keep believing that God still has a plan.
And though I cannot see you now, I know that He can,
And someday I will give you all of me.
Until I find you, I'll be waiting faithfully.
"Faithfully" by Eric and Leslie Ludy
