The Catalyst

Salutations,

Last year I wrote a Catalyst that dealt with the role denial plays in our life. I detailed how we choose what we focus on and what we accept as truth. Today, I wanted to take it a little light. I decided to bless you with another Cata-List. This is a list of 10 things that we know are true but will never admit:

Gas prices are not going down. I hate to be the one to tell you. Those $3 gallon gas days are a thing of the past. The sooner you accept this fact the better.

9 out of 10 reality shows are scripted. The ones that are not scripted are edited to make random acts look like a story. Pure genius!

You should have savings account. Any rich person will tell you that.

You can live without your cell phone. Believe it or not, you can live without cable TV. It’s not good to put these items on the same level as food, air, and water.

YOU are the problem in the relationship not the other person.

Faith in God doesn’t guarantee peace.

The media doesn’t report the news anymore. It manufactures simple stories and blows them out of proportion to hide the fact that no one is doing any real investigative journalism.

Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, and Mike Tyson will never make the come back you want them to.

Although you look at him as a luftmensch*, being President is a hard job. Do you think you can do better? I doubt it.

In this life, you’ll never have a clue as to what’s going on. You’ll always be a step behind. (The trick is to have quick reflexes and go with the flow)

Bonus:

For black people: Hip-Hop is dead. It died as soon as it went Pop. Yeah, people still Dj, Breakdance, MC, and spray graffiti. But hip-hop was developed to go against the status quo. Now, Hip Hop is the status quo. Hip-Hop is mainstream and it’s nobody’s fault really. That’s why rap music now isn’t like how rap music was, then. Who knew it would catch on?

For white people: O.J. didn’t do it.

“The worst lies are the lies we tell ourselves. We live in denial of what we do, even what we think. We do this because we're afraid. We fear we will not find love, and when we find it we fear we'll lose it. We fear that if we do not have love we will be unhappy.” -Richard Bach
