ignorance as bliss

This is a real “530am just finished work, emptying my head moment”.

Strikes me that there are 2 kinds of people, well 2 ends with a load in the middle.

Those that see the world the way it really is, that see through the media/political spin… the endless advertisements… and exercise independent thought.

and those who just “believe the hype”.

Recently there have been soooo many press stories that once you actually understand whats going on, you realise that its not the issue you thought it was. Makes you wonder how/why it got spun in that way.

I’m really questioning my beliefs on a lot of issues at the moment, from religion (I almost believe it should not be tolerated), aid to africa (the more I read, the more it seems counter-productive), politics (I didn’t vote, there seemed no difference between the candidates and no-one green) and the meaning of life.

Right now, I wish I was ignorant, it must be a lot easier.

Anyway, I’m waffling, it’s time for bed and I have to get up to go to Londinium tomo. Have a good weekend y’all.
