What if it wasn’t a marshmallow?
What if it wasn’t a treat, what if it wasn’t the guilty pleasure you already knew you weren’t really supposed to have, the thing that has been set up as an extra and jolly good luck on your part since approximately the day you were born? What if it wasn’t your childish greed you were being rewarded for keeping in check?
Rewards, delayed ‘gratification,’ a sweet is a ‘gratification,’ the connotations are as I’ve already said, greed, illicit desires on your part – what if it was something you were supposed to have that they rewarded you for delaying your ‘gratification,’ about? Your human rights, for instance. Your righteous anger about unfairnesses in general and in particular.
This is not a new thought, that we are rewarded for self denial – but what if it wasn’t just about you and your denial either, like what if that wasn’t the end of it? What if they took what you denied for your self, and stowed it away for their own later use? What if you were abstaining because they say it’s not good for you to have the not a marshmallow, but then we see they have a large storehouse full of everyone’s not marshmallows to have whenever they like?
This morning’s medication session ended with this sudden thought, that the Marshmallow Test’s ‘delayed gratification,’ and Antisocialization Theory’s national stored rage are one and the same, that they are testing your capacity to hold a charge.

Thank you for pointing out the ridiculous theory behind the marshmallow test. Who gets to decide what gratification is? Don’t tell me every social psychologist can predict the thought process in every child’s brain. Yes, our government has become the expert in brain games 101. I know parents who have held anxiety because of the marshmallow test, and it makes me cringe. Fear people, fear, fear, fear, and I’m so exhausted from all the b.s. Fear-mongering that I decided to do something about as a test. Ten years ago, I picked up The Red Book by Carl Jung; after studying Jung since then, I’ve been able to make some other observations on fear. It’s a historical tool used by governments and the people who own them. I stopped watching my TELL A VISION and unsubscribed from news options on my phone, computer, and Ipad, and guess what? In the past nine years, I’ve missed nothing except the identical tales that have been refurbished since the age of Hellenistic Egypt.
What is living your life about? I always ask people this, and most of them have the same manufactured answers. Did it ever occur to the public that all this science and its righteousness in factual favor is what has been the vice in the dumbing down of humanity? Few question why the Alchemists were banned and nearly wiped from the earth by righteous Christians who never gave anyone a moment to ponder why. Life is not this difficult, but it sure isn’t easy when one family can own a pharmaceutical company and make billions by getting through government systems like it’s Minnie Golf ⛳. Maybe there is so much fear and stress because it is the only narrative being broadcasted.
I always admit to not knowing shite except for things that I’ve seen with my own eyes or experienced firsthand, and even then, I can only apply it to my ‘self’ or my sense of who I am. I honestly believe if society wasn’t being dragged into the depths of trepidation, there might be a natural change in the collective unconscious. But until we realize who and what is behind the staged devastation of the intellect, nothing can change.
Most of us are pre-programmed based on the soil we were born on. Do you really believe humanity enjoys the mind-screwing circus displayed in their environment?
It took ten years to understand my ego was running my narrative and that my persona wasn’t mine but a product of all the information constantly blasted from ‘ officials’ of government, science, religion, Tell A Vision, and other sources that in reality have no right claiming facts and truths about humanity as a whole.
Please take your marshmallows and shove them wherever you please because I’m guessing no one attends to prophesize your future because of it, except for the proficients.

comment twice as long as the blog, LOL
if you’re read me before you’ll know that I think it’s spanking that makes everyone aggrieved and needing power over others, and makes life a champagne fountain of shit from the top down, all of them overflowing onto those below them.

Excuse Grammarly, the A.I. Is not as good as advertised. I also should have mentioned that the pharmaceutical company I was referring to is Purdue, which used to be the property of the SACKLER family from 1996 have been the most successful drug dealers in the U.S. history of opioid abuse.
Unfortunately, this is a pattern that 1-2% have organized strategically since the industrial revolution.
