There is an undeniable system of control we live in, it would be ridiculous of anyone to pretend otherwise, but I know they do. They like to believe the system would only want to control us for our own good; it’s for our safety and our future. It is not. The controller is interested in keeping control, by whatever means necessary usually, but will always prefer subtle, not too radical, quiet change that will slowly take you piece by piece so you won’t notice until it is too late. There won’t be enough pieces to fight back with. It’s a drawn out knowing fear tactic that has been used for generations past and takes a while but still we sleep through it and continue to let it unfold.

We are the proverbial frog in hot water, but because we didn’t notice when they dropped us in cold water, we didn’t feel it heat up and now we are stuck in a personal dilemma. Do we ‘wake up’ and jump out, meaning we have to think for ourselves, trust our instincts and our friends and fight for our future? Or do we wait, hoping they will turn it down again, fearing to jump, fearing to wake. Still denying what it is? Only time can answer that one, I don’t usually afford hope to much in my life, but I do hope for society to free themselves or at least to feel when the time has come to wake up and act.

When I am not working or writing, my time is taken with photography and art. Turning my own macro nature photography of flowers and insects into motif designs for bold and bright home furnishings. I am also very keen on land and skyscapes, often enhancing the original photograph to add a mystical fantasy appearance. These are available at https://www.redbubble.com/people/Darling2425/shop

It’s one of the most exciting feelings ever. To have an idea that’s turns into a story and to feel like like it’s going to go somewhere. It’s at this stage I conveniently forget the agonizing process that will follow. The months and years of writing and editing ahead, the crisis of faith in ability, the ups and downs of the characters, mourning the ones who didn’t make it and the relief of when it all comes together. But actually, I realise that it’s all of it that makes it so exciting. The idea is just the beginning…

For any society to work there must be a reasonable attitude and a fairly standard idea of what reasonable is. When societies grow together the boundaries are learnt and compromise can be achieved. But that is not how mankind has evolved. Instead there are personal agenda’s instead of a prime directive, which loses sight of what is important or right for all. Because all don’t know what is right? Who decides who is right, who can be the arbitrator for everyone? Personal accountability is everything and self denial will do everything it can to avoid this but you must understand, we are all accountable. Don’t hide from it, judge yourself.
