Awareness Degrading

I tried elaborating a concept that cannot, in any way, be properly conveyed. It is a means of understanding, a tool of your perception, not a bit of knowledge that can be simply learned.

We are so confined in our new informative world of electronic technology, confined to the point of almost perpetual mental stagnation. We are now, especially those in my generation, easily distracted by a bright shiny object. Easily enthralled in the newest digital toy - be it a flash game, website, or new computer.

People, however, are not granted such luxuries. People, right now as your read this, are starving and dying. Right now. Right this very second. And this video was not made to be a sort of "call to action," only to, hopefully, remind the viewer that there are things that our outside of our perception, of our everyday reality, that we fail to realize. I am not suggesting that I know of these things, but only that I am aware that I DON'T know of these things.

The sooner we are privy to our ignorance, the sooner we, as a species, can grow.

Cheers,
Axl
