Out of sight, out of mind....

The old saying "Out of sight out of mind." Amazing how 90% of the world cling to this saying like an imaginary security blanket. Whether we know it or not, whether we think about it there are still billions of other people living and breathing. The move independent of us in every way. You can close your eyes at 12 but the night will still go on. You can go to prison, in solitary confinement, never see light for 7 years, but your kids will grow, the wind will blow, and life will continue on without you without so much as a second thought to your existence. When a war rages even if its thousands of miles away and your countries victory is assured, and you get it into you head that's not there, its not happening, it is, whether your eyes are open to it or not. I is never out of mind cause it still affects you. Violence, blood, and death in another part of your country. You think nothing of you. You think of nothing other then not going there. "It doesn't affect me so fuck it, out of sight out of mind." But one day it spills over in all directions. Everyone you know and love is now caught in it, but it hasn't reached you yet so like 65% of most people you run as far as you can from everything and wait for it to blow over and as usual it does. When you return most of the people you know are gone. You grieve, rebuild, and move on. Yet had you have done something with the masses from the start those losses could have been saved. Out of sight is only what it says, unseeable, but still there. The world turns whether your there or not so why not do your best to direct where it turns. Why not step up and take control, who's to stop your voice here? The world is a game; learn the rules and manipulate the game or stay in the shadows and play solo till you die.... your choice...
