"Life Lived in Excess"

The Excess of Lifestyle

     Hello and welcome to the relaunch of the "Mankind Observed" blog; formerly known as Angelic Observation. I had to made some changes and alterations to what I believed was a boring editorial of Mankind's exploits over the decades I have observed them.

     In this "Copy & Paste" digital World, where people choose rather the easiest way before the correct way; where simple terms and terminologies become a collection of letters with multiple meanings leading inevitably to a confusing future mired in the ever-present conflicts that have plagued the lives of humans, from one point on the globe to the next.

     I have made countless inquiries of you, my supposedly and errantly termed fellow humans for insight into why you people perpetuate the stupidities and inanities people repeat ad infinitum  I grow nauseated by this continuous and repetitious need by one person to control others by command through oppression, repression and depression. It becomes a conscious expressions of a human desire to eradicate themselves at any cost.

     What is it with people these days, worst than they were in the past, by minor degrees, while exceeding all expectation for misery inflicted on each other? "Live and let live," become a repetitive tenet churned out in countless messages amongst people; shared, copy & paste from facebook, to Twitter, Google+ and a host of competing so-called social networks doing their best to control how and what it is to be social.

     Who are they control junkies that seek to control ones digital internet lives with a plethora of rules and regulations contrived to give their clients a canard of security and privacy, which cannot exist as long as it is placed in the digital data-banks to which a number of programmers and administrators and who knows how many others have access to?

     The best bearer of ones security and one privacy is the individual who is prepared to keep that, which is private; private. Such was the case for my personal Google+ Account, which I was informed by some interred Google+ Team needed my actual and True First and Last Names to create some digital versions of a Real World connection. Are these people living in the real world or pretending to live in the real world, where identity theft has become the source of security contention and fodder for a supposedly humorous flick. If I wanted stranger to know who I was I will introduce myself to them in person and not in a digital world created to mimic or ape the real world. Until that day, if someone is looking for me; they search and find me thus: "Whispering Angel."

     I have been observing this trend to sell yourselves cheaply to the highest bidder; to share, sync and digitally splash yourselves across the World Wide Web via their handheld digital devices  So simple and easy it is to deprive any individual of their identity when the holder cares so little for it in the first place. None can deny how easy it is to keep their important information close at hand, while foregoing the reality of how easy it is for it to go astray, stolen, lost  and misplaced in a World rushing to be something that it is not.

   As the Freedom of Speech dwindles to becoming the Freedom of Anagrams, which alter by the user for individual purpose, which as I have stated will create further confusion in the coming future, bot near and distant. I observe the excess of life as a direct cause of the aforementioned need for speed and instant gratification.

     Mankind wants to get there in a hurry, where they are going they have no clue, but they really want to get there quick. Every digital gadget that can get them a few split seconds of extra time will be purchased at any price defined by the manufacturer as more and more the workmanship falters and fails.

     Thus I bring your attention to the Seven; the greatest and most deadly sins and errors of mankind observed centuries ago and growing worse with each passing year. I present to Mankind the one thing they need not copy & paste, because they are taught by every human to every offspring through inheritance.

Seven Deadly Sins:

Avarice: An excessive passion for acquiring or hoarding material wealth and riches.

Envy: An excessive desire to possess the materials and goods of others. 

Gluttony: The act or habit of eating to excess. 

Lust: Excessive sexual appetites, especially seeking immediate or ruthless satisfaction. 

Pride: An excessive and undue sense of one's own superiority, an inordinate self esteem, arrogance or conceit. 

Sloth: An excessive disinclination to exertion, habitual indolence and laziness. 


Wrath: Excessive, extreme or violent rage or fury, a vehement indignation.

These 7 have plagued the excessive lifestyles of Mankind since the dawn of their existence. Every human is guilty of at least one of these excesses, as they rush forth into an unknown future with enough ignorance to out last Mt. Everest.
