[ .the.endless.television,averages. ]
I actually wanted to write something of consequence tonight.. but instead I find myself still bitching about the expectations.. the world unchanging.. the need for image, appearance, keeping the fit form of youth.. where the unrealistic values of life oppresses us.. the fat, the weary, the terrible terrible fact that the majority of the western world are average.. average height, average size, average weight, average day, average thoughts.. cannot squeeze enough bodies into the perfect frame.. if there is such an army of average out there, why is that bad, why is that frame inconsistent, off set.. why can it not rise up and take back its average lives? should we not be celebrating our unity, our similarities, embracing and loving the massive amounts of average we all are.. ordinary waist, ordinary face, ordinary clothes, ordinary transit.. why does difference allow us conjecture.. why does it reign supreme.. our differences are celebrated, salivated, on the differential scales, extremists are allowed to hate those that are different yet praise on high those that stand out, blare out, they are the golden son, the adam Ḳadmon, beautiful daughter, or the nemesis, enemy, black sheep.. if all extremes are besieging us, why are we not embracing the clear fact that perfection is an imbalanced as the average ratio of dimensions in space.. we all speak of love, is love not the average? is love not the one thing all parents, all philosophies, all religions, keep on high.. or is it the average deceiver.. hold on, hold on to yourself, hold on to your average moments, your ordinary days, hold on. just hold on.
