I lapse into a state of despair when I am at the gym and my Ipod runs out of battery. I HATE IT!
When my favorite song is interrupted I think of many things...
I surely don't think of the reason why I should have an Ipod to start with. Some person over there in China is having their human rights shed on the alter of my musical pleasures. But is is just human rights, No big deal.
But how can I keep my integrity while my Ipod's production process(shortcomings) are in the back of my head, and go on with life?!
I thought about that question. You should never think about real questions! It's a headache...
The answer is pretty easy, and existential. The way I feel when my Ipod shuts down, in itself, is comparable to the pain and anger some Ipod worker feels. Regardless of all the outside world interpretations: this holds for many of the banalities of our lives.
If we bracket out extraneous elements, worst of which is morality, the experiences of pain and anger are intense and central while they are happening.
Now you can continue reading more weird Ideas from my bolg. You can also go on and lament about how your homework is making your life miserable. Infact while your homework is making your life miserable, is is as intense as poverty induced misery.
Why am I going on about this stuff?!
Well I want my moral operating system, aka my consciousness, to stop bugging me about my freaking Ipod. So Miss consciousness, go read some existentialist literature. And let me indulge myself in the complex structure of my banal experiences for a bit. Thanks.

Since we at it, reader, now you can just feel good about doing nothing to help the needy. Moreover, now you can articulate how their suffering is fundamentally comparable to yours...
