Very Tempting, But No

There are still a lot of 'amazing' headlines all over the news and commentary channels and papers and platforms. And yes it is a touch tempting to go back and re-visit what are essentially old themes to me now.

But no, I shall not. Things have moved on and only the dogs are still barking.

When I say 'old themes' I simply mean the idea of openly revealing something that is supposed to be covert and usually, runs counter the interests of ordinary law-abiding people. By 'openly' I mean actively telling you that I am doing it.

I'm not in the business of revealing anything too much these days. Today, we require more silence and less revelation. Do we not? I mean, for 'truth' and 'revelation' one need but go to simply any 'news' page. The BBC is of course, priceless - here we even have the suggestion that we should just 'ignore it.' This is in reference to something they want you to 'just ignore.' You see, if you just ignore it, then that will mean it never happened.

Whatever you don't care about, never happened, of course.

And they think they can make you care about some things, and less so about others, and not even at all, about others still.

We shall see what we shall see.

What do you think? Do you think the future has arrived yet? 

Do you feel happy and good about today and about the future? Or worried? Depends, I guess, on a lot of things - on the sorts of things you want, the sorts of prices you have to pay, the kinds of income you can attain, cultural and social inputs that are available; cultural and social wealth that can accrue to you and be experienced and absorbed by you.
