Supposedly an internet video caused the siege on the compound in Benghazi Libya. Videos released of masked men supposedly beheading people. People making videos of young adults and teenagers violently attacking ordinary people, just for fun. Does this create better humans? Does this make the world a better place? Does the camera stop anyone from behaving badly, or does the camera just cause more bad behavior. Does the camera capture the true essence of the human condition or does it capture an evil design. Does the camera give voice to a voiceless entity, a body to a disembodied reality. If the camera creates a life out of nothing where can I see this reality in the real world? If the camera makes real the supernatural why can't it survive without an electric cord or a battery?
Vanity pays your bills, while the truly oppressed gorge themselves on what you ignore. There's plenty left over for a second helping. Allow me to measure the ounces of vanity dripping from your wound. Allow me to name your wound; Vanity.
