He had written in his journal: Itseems no one wants to examine an issue anymore. The bulk of modern dialogue is indebted to the pursuit of a perfectly blissful consumerism. Talk has finally become very cheap. Dialogue has been either sanitized or dulled supporting a pogrom of reason. The function of modern conversation is to maintain social harmony. The media consciously has created a non evaluative audience that now after much propagandizing cannot tell the difference between a sneaker and an elephant.Everything is infinitely relative therefore anything is possible, and nothing ever is resolved. We have achieved the negation of sensibility. Conversation is certainly not to enlighten or to barter real ideas. Empty coined phrases are endlessly repeated until they have become accepted fashion. Nowadays sentences contain a bare minimum of words, with no chance of ever framing a complete idea. In fact conversations don’t involve the exchange of ideas at all. Dialogue has been exchanged for repetitions over pricey coffee and baguettes at a table too small to fit the two in conversation all clothed in carefully chosen brands, chit chatting about the state of the latest idle rumor that is nothing more than vacuous babel gossip about some star’s choice of clothes, or the very latest in consumerism. “Gail have you seen the new Giuseppi Oraomai collection sling backs at Sole Music in the Olde Slough Mall?” Then there is the modern communiqué issued in the media first, then repeated by the faithful. Prevailing bulletins require subtitles for interpretation because the true meaning is buried within a carefully selected string of authorized lies. “Josh we must bring democracy to Iraq.” The subtitle is: “We need to eliminate all perceived enemies of the state by any means possible.” Or, “Brad,CDO's are the most important modern financial tool for stemming risk. The subtitle: “Thank God they have finally invented a form of Lucrative Latin that cannot be interpreted, only ignored.”
Then he added: And the greed, like a sweet salsa. Even the supposed devout are marinated in avarice without any moral goals. Isn’t “me-ism” proof that the real focus is on the crassness of the world and not in anything spiritual. People will contaminate the sacred planet, or step on another for a nickel, a dollar, five thousand dollars, even a camera pointed in their direction,,more, or less, but what does it matter,for it is not the amount, it is the diminishing of thanksgiving.
