Images and Sound Bytes

The world appears to be made of images and sound bytes, but it isn't. One picture or one comment, framed a certain way, can make or destroy a career.

We use images and sound bytes to justify those we agree with, and to condemn those with whom we disagree. 

Are you willing to look deeper, to question the images and bytes of those who seemingly agree with you?  The purpose of images and bytes is to create an immediate emotional reaction. Do you comply without questioning, without contemplation or meditation, without logic or intuition, like so many lemmings running off the cliff?

We live in the matrix. Political and religious conflicts are part of the world that has been pulled over our eyes.  All is not as it appears.
