Life is a Satire


Oh, how quickly people can change. Like flipping a light switch. It’s madness really.

Satires are basically comedy’s that ridicule life events however, they are actually more realistic than most reality shows if you think about it. The actors are put in in scenarios that resemble real life and make fun of basically everything and anything that happens everyday in reality.

Reality shows, you have real people in real life scenarios  (well, mostly lol) but… They are in front of a camera so of course, they aren’t going to be their true selves.  If everyone woke up each day, knowing they were in front of a camera, you would see a good number on their best behavior for fear of ridicule, a very small number would be their true selves but the majority would be putting on the act of their lives in hopes of being singled out for something bigger.

Be honest now, we all want to be special. We all want to believe we have a purpose in this life (many, more grander than some) but everyone does. Try being honest with yourself, you would be suprised at what you learn.

Now, people like to believe they are honest, claim it aloud and to themselves. However, I do not believe that one single human being is truly honest, not even with themselves. Not one.   Sure, some of us try to be. We live by a good moral code, treat others well, do our best to be good, decent human beings. Face it, we are all human and every single one of us has flaws and weaknesses, therefor, being 100% honest, not possible. Whether it’s trying to prevent someone from being harmed or intentionally causing harm to another. Everyone lies, no matter the intentions.

The same things goes for those of us that claim we don’t care what others think, another lie. You can tell yourself that you don’t all you want, but if you take the time to truly stop and think, be honest with yourself (which is hard, impossible for some) dig deep, we care. Maybe not about some things but it’s there. When you start your day, you put on make up, a splash of cologne, spend time trying to figure out what to wear. Putting that extra love in a meal your cooking, an arrangement of flowers, even your job. The work you put into anything shows that you do care. Even those that put little or no effort into anything, including life just to prove they don’t care, your still trying to prove something. Hence, you care what others think.

it’s all very interesting and ironic when you really think about it. Problem is, most people just don’t really think about it. Just like a person that dares another to strip off their clothes and streak through the town, it’s funny and a little dangerous so it’s exciting but they are not thinking of the many different outcomes of what their actions could cause.

The person giving the dare as well as the one accepting it. The one accepting it will impact every person that sees them, in a positive or negative way, which affects those they tell the story to and so on. It also impacts the accepting person more than they realize, maybe not in that moment but at some point, it will affect their life.

The person giving the dare as well, they are affecting the person accepting as well as the bystanders. If you stop and take the time to think about the many ways their actions ripple through all of those people in that moment and in the future, you would be astonished.

It’s really no different than smiling at a passerby when at the grocery store or being rude to the checkout clerk because your having a bad day.  Stepping up when you someone is doing wrong by another person, joining in the chaos of wrong doings, Cause and effect, actions and reactions. These things are never really thought much about when we are just going about our daily routines and every one of these actions all prove that we care.

Life really is a Satire and Satires are more realistic than reality shows. Take a minute to REALLY think about it it all. The human race thrives on emotion or lack there of.  That’s an entirely different conversation for another day but even so, it still ties in here.
