The Ever Changing Spectrum

Everyday across the globe people are presented with the ferocious effects of the ever changing spectrum. The ever changing spectrum is all pervasive. It invades every aspect of life, taking joy in permeating every and all mediums of communication that we so rely on. Television, radio, internet, and print publications revel in the ever changing spectrum and the potential it provides. The ever changing spectrum, when properly presented, can make anything appear to be anything. The ever changing spectrum, when used in its most obtuse sense can make even slights against humanity that would be considered banal when compared against the true history, appear horrific and all encompassing.

The ever changing spectrum is completely impersonal. It does not care for the way people think or feel. It harbors no trace of empathy, the defining aspect of humanity. Its actions, and the painful justifications associated with them, are grounded deeply in the abstract reasoning of a system of logistical equations far too removed for us to imagine.

The ever changing spectrum is completely personal. It seeps inside our very core and distorts our views, taking pride in the way it can change an opinion into an argument, and an argument into fact. The ever changing spectrum takes things and turns them upside down and then sits back and watches as we struggle and fight and resist and, in the end, pull something beautiful out of the mess.

We cannot fully understand the ever changing spectrum but we don't need to, to be able to observe and appreciate the effects of its hard work. We find ourselves silently questioning every decision we make despite the barrage of accepted notions of normality and morality and philosophy that is hammered down upon our frail mentalities, thrust down our throats until our struggle against the system turns horribly and irreversibly organic, until we are left no option but to retch forward with the bile of our core, the instinctual dregs of our beings surfacing only when our accumulated principles and ideals are slowly but surely suffocated by the weight of this ever changing spectrum.

The ever changing spectrum is the way something that is assured suddenly becomes questionable. It's the way we cannot ignore our most pathetic pleas of humanity when presented with an issue of greater importance. It's the way we say one thing and mean another and by the end of the day have forgotten what we said in the first place.

The ever changing spectrum is the way our world challenges the individual to differentiate from the rest by saying what they think and thinking about what they say. By observing and considering popular opinion and then throwing back into the mix our own unique ideas with violent force. The ever changing spectrum is the way the world challenges us to turn the other cheek, before hitting us in a place we would never expect. And it hurts, this ever changing spectrum. It can hurt in ways unimaginable. And it feels good, this ever changing spectrum. It makes you feel better about yourself at the end of the day because even if the ever changing spectrum has dealt you a bad hand you never know what it'll deal you next.

I'm not resigning this to a pile of forgotten drafts.
I'm resigning this to the whims of the ever changing spectrum.
