Informing ourselves to death by Neil Postman Personal Statement

Informing ourselves to death by Neil Postman - face-to-face Statement ExampleAs long as we were Neanderthals, planet earth was a cleaner, greener and a safer business office to live in. The environment was void of hazards, disease, danger and pollution and the world was free from p overty, hunger, homelessness and crime. All these are our gifts to ourselves, which comply in a package deal with the technological zenith that we have achieved.We perceive the present scenario as the ruff of entirely possible worlds because this the farthest we have come in terms of advancement. There is no shortfall of anything in this rose colored world of ours. (The children of the lesser God might not think so but have we ever given them a care). We are so busy wallowing in this shallow, materialistic and cushioned lifestyle of ours that it has never occurred to us that we have lost a very unusual part of us along the ages- we have lost our humanityWe might have attained acquaintance but we ar e still far far away from wisdom. That is the reason why our world has fabricate a either -mine-or- yours place. What if we never knew that the earth was such a vast planet with so more land and so much water, would we have then cared to split it up into blocks we call countries Had there been no mine and yours territories would the word WAR even exist in or dictionaries What is it ab bug out our knowledge that instills in us the greed to simply possess apiece of land even if that means killing all our fellow beings living on itFrom here started our dividing spree and we have never stopped ever since. In our attempt to systematically organize the human existence we bred complexities that we have never been able to come out of. First we made countries, divided them into states, broke the states down to cities, towns and districts, built huge walls around ourselves thus physically isolating ourselves from the rest of the world. . In the process and without our awareness, the mental and spiritual component of our being got entangled deeper and deeper into the network of worldly wisdom.When we were done with physical divisions and the pieces of earth could not get any smaller, we never allow ourselves give up. Our knowledge never let us deter and inspired us to go on. Then, we came up with this concept of religions (I call them mass gangs) and for obvious reasons we had gang wars although they were at a much smaller carapace than the nuclear or biological wars of today. First we fought over mine- and- yours and then we fought over mine-is-better -than-yours and the vicious cycle went on. Our perception (or rather the lack of it) has blown the light of knowledge into an satanic fire which is eating into the heart of valet and emptying the core of our existence. Spiritually we have turned into weak, in secure, greedy, selfish and conceited individuals. Our conditioned chief does not allow us to think beyond possessing and climbing up the ladder of success r egardless of whose face we step on in the process. I dont cal this living life I consider it further a spiritually worthless existence. Imagine, our present day generation needs special classes and seminars on spirit searching. Isnt that ridiculous Does it mean that we are so disconnected with out souls that we need to search them all over againWe are not to be entirely blamed for our plight.
