Chasing Mr. Feel Good?

What are we doing in this generation of feeling good, I mean trying to feel good 100% of the time? What are we in search of? We are either living in a cesspool of frustration over what we think we need or just a downward spiral of what we don’t have!!! What inexpressible desires are we chasing?

At no other time in history, have we had so much as we do at this very moment….. In technology, communications, easy access to gaming, gambling, email, desires are just a stroke and stoke away.. We can watch virtual reality channel surfing, talk to family, friends, “hell” even people we don’t know, by striking a few keys from our laptops, keyboards, any means of communications. Drop a dollar in a machine, for a few quick moments; we surge with new found endorphins, flooding our brain with a new fuelled energy, only to be let down within seconds. We are looking for that first high, that first feel good moment that we experienced years before… only problem with that today is, we have not found our shut off valve. We are seeking what we think we have lost, but why? What is it about having all this new technology and we are never satisfied? I mean really satisfied, that deep down in the gut satisfied feeling we once had in the burn of our bellies? We are forever in search of Mr. Feel Good. We can implant our brains with electrodes if we so wished to do so, at differing spots, just to make us feel good, chances are this new means that medical science has come up with will be abused. We would have the transplant to feel exceptional and find we are on overload….. That is how we operate as human beings. You know, the folks at the head of the food chain? The ones that preach in one hand we have to feel good all the time, rouse emotions we did not even know we had, strive for perfection in a fatigued world. And then there are the others ones, who come across our televised screens squealing about our economy, our downward trends, our over published bad news of current affairs…so where to we find balance?
If you have a itch, we have a cure, if you have a moment when you are down, we have a pill for that, if you bored, try TV, satellite radio, “sex” (both traditional and out there in the deepest seeded desires of mankind where half of the populist would seldom dare to even venture) If you have an imagination, then we have the creation to help you fulfill that need. And that gets me back to what I am speaking of, what are we chasing? What is this urgency we are in constant need of fulfilling? Why are we in such denial over what we want and not taking a breath to think before we act? Why are we so bored? Is it because we have so much or because we have so many means of living out in the moment….
We crave constantly, do not fill up that void and find we are lost.. We talk about spending more time with family, social interactions, walking in the simple pleasures, but it ends there, with just talking about it, seldom is any action taken. {Recall actions speak louder than words} Rather, we find excuses for what we don’t do over what we should do. It is easier that way…. It was not that long ago, people were told to stop hiding their anger, frustrations, futile emotion, so we started talking, non-stop, we never shut up. AND when we grew weary of the endless chatter, we found being medicated easier than dealing. So that brings us back to never filling our bellies, never erupting into that volcano of moments we swear by, the one we say and never do. Expressions are easy now days, you can write a shit load and never say a damn thing? Sort of like I am doing here, get my drift? We say we are so busy, but are we? Are we instead searching out Mr Feel Good for that escape we talk about never getting, that first high we all seem to be chasing, that moment we want to recapture? Who are we, where do we go from here? How many of us really know what it is to LIVE?
