Everything Is Not A Conspiracy!

 Yes, I said it. Everything is not a conspiracy. Every single aspect of our lives is not a government plot, and no… the whole world is not out to get you. It is time to take the tin foil off your windows and breathe a little.

 

As a writer/blogger it is my job to grab and hold your attention. Some writers are naturally funny. These are the writers that hold our attention with laughter. Some writers choose to bring out the anger emotion. They choose a subject to write about that will invoke anger in their chosen audience. Other writers hold our attention by teaching or informing us of things we are interested in. So, if we writers reach in and touch you on an emotional level, whether we make you laugh, cry, or just plain piss you off or we teach you something, we have done or job.

 

Back in the day writers and journalist were held to a certain standard. If they published a story or article that was not factual, they were crucified by both the public and their peers. These days articles and stories are published for one reason only…the almighty dollar. Views translate into advertising dollars which in short means the writer gets a payday.

 

So how does all this lead back to my title? Well that is easy. Thanks to social media conspiracy theories seem to be the most popular thing to write about at the present time. Anyone with half an imagination can in only a few minutes slant any story into a conspiracy to draw their readers in. Oh, and millions are believing every word just because they see it in print.

 

The vaccine theories are the ones gaining ground right now. Just imagine if our grandparents and great grandparents had gotten together and decided that the Polio vaccine was a conspiracy. Many of our lives would have been seriously different. Modern medicine and vaccines have indeed knocked down and even eradicated many diseases yet many thousands are screaming that they will never take a COVID-19 vaccine.

 

Just because things in life seem connected at times does not mean that they are all part of a sinister plan. Social media is not a good viable news source. Unfortunately, there is an entire generation now that ONLY sees social media and nothing else. These are the so-called sheep. What you get is simply the writers’ opinion, just as you are getting mine now. Don’t agree with me, not a problem. Tell me in the comments, share it with your friends. Simply have an opinion, share that as well.

 

Just remember, writers get paid to stir your emotion and to piss you off. Take time to research and investigate what you read before you believe it. By the way, there is a snake in your bathroom, don’t ask me how.
