There has been a lot of talk of entitlement these days. People call it a culture of entitlement and they direct it at the masculine aspect of society. I disagree that it is mainly masculine, and I propose that entitlement is merely the blossom on the plant. The plant being a socialistic society. I spend a lot of time with plants, roots - stems - flowers. It's something I get.
To face that sometimes feels like you're fighting the tide. What I know about the tide is that it's governed by celestial bodies. Celestial bodies are set into motion and very little will change the orientation of those bodies. It leaves me wondering then, is there anything that any humans can do to change the tide of American culture? Or world culture? Is it the world end that we're looking at? Or maybe that of humanity?
Christians talk a lot about the rapture/second coming of Jesus/or whatever it is in the document from the book of Revelations. Avatar is a response to those world end predictions. I don't see the connection. Maybe I just don't have enough faith. According to Christianity "faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1).
What makes me wonder is the word consciousness. What I did in Avatar, is that what will change the tide? Or will there simply be a catastrophic event? Maybe there will be a flotation device or a way of getting off the planet, or maybe we're all going to die. Even if we all died, what would that even mean?
It's not like there's some Doctor Who coming to save us.
