Beyond the bubble of security of hierarchies

Very similar to the fattened beast being led to their slaughter, so are many of us with our delusional belief in being the dutiful and obedient institutional person who has material security as a substitute for their feral powers. We settle and accommodate ourselves to the point where we see it as the ONLY existential reality. So busy earning a living, that we end up just existing in a world of material and emotional escapist trappings which we consensually share with others who've sold their 'being' out to live in a paradigm of servitude of false promises.

In this bubble, you talk about all the little mundane and trivial happenings that you have elevated to drama, melodrama, and emotional mountains of importance, when all they are are but trivial mechanics of process that you've let get beyond your reach with the accommodation to being 'adaptive' to your being disempowered. You look at the ephemeral trinkets, bling, and other possesions of status, while all around you at the social and civic margins you see the wolves of this world devour those same type of beasts like you who were caught at the margins where predatory opportunist had their way with them. But it wasn't you. You emote some affected sympathy, but there's little you can do, because there's little you have been doing for decades to get out from that bubble that is your placenta for your delivery into that mythical retirement period of bliss.

Don't believe me. Just listen to the daily chatter that goes on as conversation as you hear the latest soap opera of low-drama and trivia raised to an existential crisis, not because it is so overwhelming, but because the people have resigned themselves to being so cognitively with their heads up their ass in denial of this day of reckoning as they put off any affirmative, beyond-the-bubble-disturbance to their relative, material and physical, 'comfort' zone so not to deal with the underlying condition that they've been so busy chasing material security and comfort, that they have degraded their ability to deal with adversity with their native talents beyond affected, social ritualistic, emoting.
