“O h, Be Careful Little Eyes What You See” is a song often taught to the littlest members of our society and carries a lesson that all humanity should consider throughout all the days of our lives. Be aware of what your senses experience, for it can impact your perspective, ideas, and actions.
The world’s first family who dwelled in the Garden of Eden confirms that there are multi-tiered impacts on humanity from unseen societal forces which influence and control the heartstrings and thoughts from birth to death, naturally, emotionally, and spiritually.
This guiding force, information source, or resource shapes our decisions, ideas, beliefs, experiences, and, thus, our life’s journey.
It’s like an invisible puppet master that positions, step-by-step, the positive or successful and even the negative and detrimental. The constant exposure has hardened the heart and brought the mind to make the uncommon, familiar, and thus more readily acceptable.
As you read this edition of Fired Up magazine, do a self-examination. Who or what are you following? What is influencing you and this generation? Who’s like a magnet pulling you their way? Can you still decipher the truth from a lie? Are your actions and response to the invisible stimuli in alignment with the word of God and the Bible? How do you know?
The articles included in this Winter issue expound upon the numbing effect of constant overexposure in the Dark Side of Desensitization, the acceptance of societal practices as moral norms in Influence on Youth, the pipedpiper impact of music in the article Spirit of the Composer, that intrudes in our life song shaping our actions. The cover feature invites the reader to the journey of the evolution of societal puppeteers who shape our society. Remember that we can only have one master puppeteer in our lives.
