Fodder & Mash
"The oxen and donkeys that work the soil will eat fodder and mash, spread out with fork and shovel." [Isaiah 30:24]
I saw an advertisement for a new TV channel the other day. The ad boasts: "Why experience life when you can watch it! Razer TV."
Welcome to the postmodern world - an age in which all principles are questioned, all opinions and beliefs are proclaimed equally valid — if not equally true — and everything is considered relative.
For example, I got invited to Pagan Pride Day! Pagan Pride Day is part of an international movement that began in the U.S. and now has festivals being coordinated by volunteers throughout the world. The goal is to educate the public regarding various alternative spiritual lifestyles while also promoting tolerance within the community through such education.
[I may just accept the invitation. Purely for research purposes, of course.]
Fodder: (noun) 1: something fed to domestic animals; especially: coarse food for cattle, horses, or sheep; 2: inferior or readily available material used to supply a heavy demand [fodder for tabloids]
Scary. All the junk around us, that seems to be in high demand. Even blogs. Gosh, I hope my blog won't be reduced to endless fodder, but with the countless blogs out there in blogland I am sure I'm at risk.
Think about it. Me and other bloggers, blogging about our daily life experiences, etc., while friends and family read along. Yeah, yeah. I know. I recently said that I wished all my friends had blogs, but maybe they aren't experiencing enough life to write one!
Which is why they read mine. Or yours. Or why they like reality TV. And watch it. Cuz they would rather look in on someone else's life rather than experience it themselves.

4:50 PMjust adding to your thoughts ....
Come, my children, listen to me;
I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days,
...keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies
...turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.
Psalm 34:11-14

Maybe it's just easier to look at another's life than to look inside yourself and decide that there is something there that needs to be changed.....just a thought
