What happened to Jiminy Cricket?

There is a rift. We are so consumed with the here and now that we often forget the simplest of things, those simple things that are so essential to our essence and our soul. Nowadays most of us disregard the statement, believing that there is no scientific proof to the essence or soul of humanity. Science has become another tool that we have taken to an extreme, another blessing that we have used to construct a pedestal to ourselves. We look upon ourselves as the masters and we believe so hard in our of actions and views that we disregard that natural world that speaks of something else. As Serj Tankian said, "science has failed our world, science has failed our mother earth". We must break off the chains of calculative thought, a thought that pushes for action that is heartless and action that is quick and without thought. And we must instead embrace a thought that involves inward inflection and deconstruction rather than simply acting for the sake of acting. As my father would say, "think before you act, don't act and then think". Most of us are taught to act simply because it is a copy of that which we see on television, music videos, magazines, etc. Most of us are beginning to lose the ability to act because we feel, deep down in our hearts and soul, we know that a certain action is wrong or right. I used to believe in a thing called a conscience, a little cricket that would tell me when i was wrong or right. His voice is beginning to be drowned by the images and narratives society is choking him with. Presenting scientific "evidence" to show he doesn't exist. Utilizing cultural images to convey the notion that following an inward moral compass is just not "cool" anymore.... It's a cultural and calculative movement that is sweeping us, like a tidal wave against a small city. And the more that we give into it, the less human we become. When we widen the rift between ourselves and the other. in this case our soul, essence, and conscience, then we begin to become less and less human and more and more machine like. Following blindly the call of the media and culture. To disconnect us from our hearts and minds is to disconnect us from our life. And a life without essence and thought is an animal like life indeed.
