How big brother watches you

Every day you as a citizen are controlled by forces and rules set far above your head by people who are probably long dead. Most people will think that a system had to work at its best or not at all to those people have I said “you are wrong” no I haven’t because without realizing it they are a part of the system. The most major system that controls the average person’s life is the federal government I will use the federal government as my prime example for it is the most effective at controlling its many people in a few ways. The government is a friend to those who follow the laws and pay their taxes on time and to those who are afraid or angry with it. For those of you out there who follow the rules, the government protects you from those who will harm you and if you are harmed pay for your medical bills. For those who hate the system and avoid it understand this, government doesn’t care for and simply sweeps you under the rug until you become a pest in which case you are squashed like a bug.

time warp

If I had to relive a single day in my life it would be the day I understood what choice was. In my earlier years I didn't care or bother with making or not making a decisions based on how people would feel. Now that I care about the consequences and how they affect others I feel like I'm held back because of it. If I could go back I could change how I act today, I wouldn't be penalized for putting others before myself. I wouldn’t be placed on the outside of things for trying to be considerate of others and in the outcome of my actions. It is in my defense of others that I am forced to concede to systems rules and regulations for I feel that if I do not up hold the rules how can I ask others to. The toughest part of being a considerate person is being unable to truly excel at anything for in doing so I over shadow others achievements. By putting myself second to others I am forced into more and more complicated situations and it is because of this that I must avoid others. If I could go back to the day that I found my actions had consequence and stopped myself from learning the truth I would be normal.

The Fool Or the Fear

To be a part of the social image that is the celebrity would be an awful experience. Every action you make is scrutinised by millions of people and when your serious about a concern that the public should be involved in the tabloids over sensationalise and kill off your noble goals. The idea that the public pays attention to some one or thing is not a bad thing it’s the bloated stories that deafen strong minds from the serious issues. To answer the question "would i enjoy being a famous?" the answer is no but the idea that people would attempt to fallow my movements is amusing to me. I would propose a different question but one that still deals with tabloids and public obsession. "Would you rather be famous or infamous"?

This question really comes down to would you rather be never taken seriously or havesociety tremble at the very mention of your name? Infamy is the key to becoming something that can out live you by driving fear into the certain members of the public you can control what not even a million solders could the minds of the masses. If the public does not know enough about you and your actions scare them then they will automatically try to make you into something far grander than you actually are. An excellent example of the use of infamy would be Robin Hood. He stole from the richest people of the area and gave all of his loot to the poor. In the eyes of the king and his many servants Robin Hood became infamous and in doing so sparked fear in the most powerful people of his society. To the rich Robin Hood seamed like a one man army capable of destroying any defence put before him but this was not the case yes he was smart and strong but he only had to succeed once to gain a title that would crumble any wall put before him.
So by accepting the hate and loathing of the public you can control them certain events are closed down curfews are set and even criminals stay in for the night when a true symbol of fear walks the street. If your identity was kept secret you could even walk amongst other members of society and watch the world you create attempt to consumes your image before the public hysteria consumes its norms. Through infamy your image can be immortalised. Don’t believe me? Super villains are global your actors name means nothing across the pond.
