Controlling Colors
The other day I was sitting in my car at a stop light. I looked around and saw all these other cars around me sitting and waiting. I realized what makes them stop. They are all being influenced and controlled by these lights that shine 3 different colors listening to them as if they speak. No one is really thinking of why they do this or what makes them. They just sit there obediently waiting for the all mighty light to guide them through. How does it become so normal to where people don't even think about who is controlling them and telling them what to do. They just stay obedient and carry on through the light. They don't have a mind of their own anymore just guided by a light that someone controls. Trusting the light with their light. Blinded to the thought that maybe the light is wrong and make you crash. Totally blinded obeisance and trust from the light. I can connect this to Adolf Hitler, he was the man behind the light in Germany. He told people what to do and when, this also was blind obedience and trust. No one in Germany thought for themselves what if he is wrong and will end up crashing. This eventually happens in 1945, when Germany is defeated and crashes. All those people following and trusting Hitler thinking how could he be wrong.

I like this connection that u made. No one wants to ignore the lights because there are consensuses. Do u think the courage that some Germans had when planned to kill Hitler was worth trying?
ReplyDeleteI like this analogy and think that there is a deeper meaning that you may not of meant but I thought would be appropriate to bring up. The reason why the people stop at these lights is because of the reprocution of them not stopping at the lights. The threat of cops and a fine is enough for us to wait at a light. And much like how hitler came to power and put in the fear of if they do not obey his power or believe in his ways openly there is a high risk of being killed or sent to concentration camps much like the threat of being pulled over by the cops or getting fined for running the lights.
