A paid to write "journalist"produced a piece provocatively titled
"Is the Singapore Mer Lion Happier than the Danish Mermaid"
It just is typically so crass and capitalistically consumer driven drivel that it begs (unfair) comment.
Just why anyone bothers if the MerLion is happier than the Danish MERMAID i.e. Singaporeans are happier than the Danes is sufficient to illustrate one salient point.
Some folks do indeed engage in activities that bring nothing that advances the nobility of the human spirit but does bring satisfaction in getting paid which might be just make the entire bull shitting worthwhile.
Whatever folks do or don't do is of course a personal choice unless that choice infringes or impacts another person in a negatively undesirable way.
In the case of whether the
MERLION is Happier
than the
Danish MERMAID
there is however a parallel significant issue to address.
We know for a fact earth worms are found in both Singapore and Denmark. In fact these creatures of the soil are everywhere where there is earth. And Earth is where we all are living on. Which would thus emphatically illustrate the undeniable abundant presence of worms in the earth EVERYWHERE here on Earth.
These nematodes might be found in flower pots on the balconies of HDBs or high rise condos in the Republic of Singapore.
Similarly such creatures would be found in flower pots too in Denmark.
The happiness quotient of both DANISH earthworms and SINGAPOREAN Earth worms would believably be no different. Even should the two earth worms be transferred i.e. exchanging their nationality - their Happiness Quotient would remain similarly unalterably HIGH.
Though the newspaper man/woman/neither/either might attempt to promote certain pluses in the Lifestyles of Singapore for capitalistic commercial or ideological advantage, as far as earthworms are concerned such manipulative deviousness would be fruitlessly futile and impactlessly LOST.
Also as far as earth worms life style preferences and living habits are concerned nothing is less earth-shaking.
As long as they, the worms i.e. have a pot-ful of earth with sufficient nutrient materials from the roots and other such foods as found in soil; with sufficient comforting warmth, the soil would provide a good place to live, mate, burrow and ultimately buried in.
BOTH Sinkie Earthworm and Caucasian Danish Earthworm would equally be in Worm Heaven though separated by oceans and mountains and Man with agendas, with axes to grind and with causes to advance, with something to sell.
Would any of these be bothered how they would need to earn more to meet rising inflationary living costs or that the tax rates are being hiked or taxis are getting tougher to flag down?
Would they bother if Danish cows are losing the edge vis a vis Anzac cows in their having a higher risk of milk tainted with Chernobyl melt-down radiation?
They would be as happy even if the owners of the balconies on which their individual pots sit on are being evicted due to non servicing of mortgages.
They would be deliriously satisfied even if the democratically elected governing authorities of each nation decided to turn Communists or declare a total moratorium on Whale hunting.
They would, these care free nematodes, be elatedly delighted if every Singaporean were to produce an average of 3 off springs.
Or NO Off Spring for 3 generations from year zero.
As long as they have their earth in their respective pots or even in the earth itself Earthworms are happy!
In Singapore or Denmark or Sweden or Swaziland or Mohave desert (got worms ?) Iceland (eh any worms ah?) or Malaysia (plenty, plenty)
ALL WORMS ARE INCOMPARABLY HAPPY.
Thus propaganda techniques and subtle attempts to compromise demonize manipulate destabilize public opinions for an unknown or unusually sinister motive, might work only on INTELLIGENT people - not on silly easy to spoil worms.
Problem, rather advantage, for the ruling elites, is no one wants to be silly earthworms & be easily HAPPYfied…
People wish to have strive thrown their way.
People like to have avarice evoked in them.
People love to compete even for silly worthless status of higher Happiness quotients.
People feel good when topping other people seemingly emerging better than the next guy.
People like to complicate their lives with such trivial concerns.
People thrive on strife.
People like to think others think well of them.
People like to be esteemed to be exalted to be better regarded as special selected elites not any common people with common ancestry or lineage or mileage.
Thus who in their RIGHT mind wish to be
SIMPLY Happy
like earthworms..?
You do ? OMG..
HAPPY LUNATICR NEW YEAR of the GOAT
not earthworms
Thank you Master for that mercy.
