Oh, how I take so much joy in my work. I go to sleep every night excited to wake up the next day to go to work. It is so hard these days to find a job or a line of work that brightens your day.
It is so true that when you do what you love, you never have to work a day in your life. I don’t have to worry about money because I can’t get my bills paid on time. Don’t have to worry about my home life; I have everything I need. I don’t have to worry about work stress because I love every minute of every day.
What do I do for a living? I am so glad you asked because I love talking about it. To boil down my job into something simple, I influence people. I create a world where you believe whatever I want you to believe. See the world I want you to see, not what it is.
This used to be so hard to do. You had to sprinkle a whole lot of truth and a teaspoon of deception to move people to your worldview. People used to be a little wiser in those days. Pulling the wool over someone's eyes took a lot of talent and a lot of work.
Not anymore. With the creation of social media, short-form internet videos have made it so much easier. Some say this has made people stupider, but I don’t agree. I don’t think this type of insult to people is warranted. You can’t win people over to your point of view with insults.
Not stupid but lazy. That is the key. Before, people sought out the truth. Searched to increase their knowledge. Aspired to be better. To know better.
This took a lot of time and reading. For a time, people like me had it rough. Hard to make people afraid of shadows when they can produce their own flashlight.
I knew this could possibly last. I know human beings enough to know that their greatest weakness is stronger than their greatest accomplishments. Their greatest weakness, of course, is laziness.
Laziness is a disease that spreads quickly. It is easy to fall into and so very hard to climb out of. Why do something today when you could put it off until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow? That is what I love about people.
With social media and short video formats coming on the scene, I was filled with so much excitement that I could hardly get a hold of myself. I saw the opportunity and jumped right on it like the pioneer that I am.
People started using these new innovations, and the lazy bug kicked in. Little by little, people got their information from these innovations and didn’t bother to check whether what they saw was true.
Now we have a new and improved format to work with. Now we can use complete lies and spread just a little truth, and it is hook, line, and sinker.
It has never been so easy and so rewarding. Seeing how freaked out makes me want to explode with joy. What a wonderful world to live in! Amazing.
Now, if you excuse me, I have a new article to write. There was a big party filled with rich people. There were a couple of photos in which you could only see white people. There are other photos with minorities in them, but I won’t use them. Just the photos of the white people, so that I can push the white supremacist rich people.
Perfect.
