Here's good news for you - this is not an email!
We live in a time of literature being predominantly around the lines of "We bring to you" and "here are some offers specially for you". A time when the emphasis on the rising narcissistic movement we are collectively zombieing ourselves into is something that disturbs me personally and I've noticed, people's lives as well.
Capitalist brainwashing has reached so far that we fail to notice even the constant propaganda and conditioning we're going through from these harbingers of "products" and nouveau delivery ideas. Remember that email you received about "here's returning your favour? With a discount coupon?" Or the one where "you should thank us its sale", these literary pieces that we constantly and continuously surround ourselves with never allow us to see what the big bad'uns are really up to. Do you really need to feel gratitude towards buying something you worked at making? Or something that you didn't need but had to buy because you were made to believe it was better?
Why are the best brains and writers of our world selling their labour to big branded companies that make them repetitively write the same four ideas to eventually blind those with lack of knowledge? Yes globalisation may have developed our communication skill and our sense of reach, but do we feel equal? Equal to the owner of amazon.com? Or equal to the owner of gmail and Google and Apple? No we don't. We constantly pay our hard earned money to these new capitalist lucky rich douches who may very well be good people, but they promote their ideas in order to keep us in the dark of true freedom, and equality.
Remember reliance? The richest company in the world? Well here's the deal, reliance provides you with your internet, your television, your network and your electricity and where does it control your idea that you're giving too much to reliance? It pays (a.k.a. Supports/promotes) the current prime minister of the country, it brings up its own schools and also obviously has a say in educational affairs, labour affairs and most importantly commercial decisions of India. Now, this may very easily be a conspiracy theory, but how unlikely is it that what reliance has to say doesn't matter to the dependent Narendra Modi?
Think about your decisions? The literature you pick up and hunk about how it's eventually going to affect you in achieving equality or your freedom? Do you still want to live your life according to societal standards of ideal lives and behaviour created by some rich douche in his big cabin made of wood cut by some old woodcutter who probably didn't even get profits from his sale?
