Friday the 13th and Halloween are filled with a sense of doom even in the comfort of modern civilization. Belief in superstitions today are really accessories to personality for the non-religious; they are quarks one can adopt to appear spooky or witchy. Others classify superstitions as being evil, even though they are simply remnants of belief that are not fully understood. But scary things are not reserved for October anymore. It seems every month is Halloween and the end of the world is approaching ever closer with one failed prediction after another - one lie after another lie. There is no break in the horror as we’re fed candy news that rots our teeth and brains.
Much of social media is welcoming Hollywood-level apocalypse, having lost faith in themselves, others, and even their government to support them. A recent survey shows that 3/4 Americans have zero faith anyone can protect them from any disaster. That same survey showed that Americans were most concerned with what they were told to be concerned with.
The excessive self medication and choice surgeries people choose to have, and inability/unwillingness to engage in debate or conversation - as some examples of this lack of faith - are byproducts of a lost people, wandering in a desolate cultural landscape. Americans have it so good, objectively, we invent ways to become miserable victims. The scariest Halloween costume this year will be the TRUTH, even though that word has also been redefined as some silly cultural meme.
