Mental. Masturbation. Two words that by themselves have meaning, but put together mean something so tragic, it has literally killed millions.
"What?" You exclaim. "What is mental masturbation? No WAY it has killed that many people!"
Of course, I mean figuratively, not literally. But mental masturbation started in the new era of technology. When people starting WATCHING. The biggest culprit: TV!
Before TV, people would listen to a radio for games & shows, and be mildly entertained for a short period of time WEEKLY. Television came around, and by the 1960's was making its impact in society by providing news segments and regular television shows. This, to a point, was good for people, as they were able to temporarily take time out of their lives to see what was going on the world, and when they would be able to see the occasional sports game. BUT, the problem began when people began to watch TV all day, sitting on their ass in a daze, flipping from channel to channel. More recently, REALITY TV has shown that people's lives are so pointless that they would rather stop what they are doing and watch T.O. (Terrell Owens) live his daily life.
The widespread use of the INTERNET hasn't helped mental masturbation much either. People literally surf the web, and FOLLOWING people on Twitter, Facebook, or Myspace, seeing what other people are up to while doing nothing valuable with their own lives. Some take it a step further, particularly men, who not only MENTALLY but PHYSICALLY masturbate while viewing pornographic material online. Unfortunately, neither of these things will get you anywhere in life.
Mental masturbation is when you think about things in your mind with no real intention of bringing those thoughts to REALITY. It has killed the wonderful brains of so many people who could be changing the world, the figure is ridiculously high. People living in a WALKING DAZE, pleased with watching others live their dreams and fantasies. President Barack Obama preaches that America needs CHANGE. The Change we need is for people to stop MENTALLY MASTURBATING about others lives and LIVE YOUR DREAM! That will take care of the deficit this country is facing. Who cares what TO or the Celebrity Fit Club, or The Real World, or Paris Hilton is up to today?? Who cares about Ashton Kutcher's latest twitter update?
I am leading the army of people that are too busy living their dream, getting success or die trying, to give a damn about anything else! Join US or die a long, slow death.
I am now off my soapbox. Comment away.
