Congruity

The forces of nature are being perverted, turning good into bad, and the bottom line, the key to it all is profit. Primates choose co-existence within a group driven by forces of the first law of nature. When we engage in a symbiotic relationship, this law of nature is less burden sum on the individual. Humans chiefly rely on our sense of sight; we take up with others who appear to be most like us, and lend ourselves to the saying that seeing is believing. Fear is our prime motivating factor, and advertising executives will tell you that fear sells. What we are witnessing is the perversion of our survival engine, making the money wheel go round. We are made to fear everything by key design, and our survival instinct is telling us there is safety in numbers. So we identify ourselves with a group, and instinctively try to fit in, by purchasing our reality of acceptance. Monkey see monkey do! She’s a nerd, He’s a skater, They’re preps, I’m a goth. How can you tell them apart? By the things they purchase. The purchasing of acceptance is also found in the sub culture as well. People who want to break away from being normal are victims of fear. The fear of being sell outs, like the Brady bunch family types who are part of a system that they despise. How can you tell them apart? By the things they purchase. What you see is what you get, and what we are getting is what we see. The purple hair, body piercing, and tattoos; are the same as, the Coach hand bags, spray tans, and botox injections. One monkey’s Marilyn Manson to another monkey’s Bach. Form follows thought. Our survival engine is a universal constant force, and fear is the constant variable that shifts our transmission into drive. No one wants to grow old, living alone dressed in rags and eating cat food. Even the separatists who choose to be an island in this Sea of crap are fearful. So there’s an on line computer game for that, or a chat room for that, or a hobby for that, or pets for that, or a pill for that, and of coarse there’s media entertainment for that. No matter this or that the key turns our survival engine on and fear shifts the transmission into drive, and together they keep the money wheels turning…and that's the bottom line. I once heard someone say “thank god for Hardly Davidson cause it gives fat hairy beer belly slobs something to be a part of.” She was holding an imitation Louis Vuitton hand bag and on her way to the tanning salon when she said that
