Science and sci-fi writers weave their spells about the startling prospects of parallel universes. Mysterious. Incomprehensible. Distant. And yet, there are some of us who have already discovered one of these universes. While it is rather mysterious and incomprehensible, it's anything but distant...
The "us" in this report are, well, it's us. You and me in everyday life. Consider, if you will, the universe as we usually DEFINE it; and then as we actually LIVE it:
* We define education as studying knowledge; actually it's studying for the test
* We define our courts as seeking justice; actually our lawyers seek wins
* We define advertising as informing; actually it's hypnotizing
* We define political advertising the same way; actually it's libel
* We define flying as travel; actually it's survival
* We define entertainment as entertainment; actually it's pre-meditated shock
* We define sports as a game; actually it's a business and we're the game
* We define computers as our tools; actually they're our masters plotting among themselves at night
* We define Christmas as an annual joy; actually it's annual joust for toys and office parties
You see, people have this peculiar habit of figuring mysteries as something strange and far away. In fact the mystery of parallel universes exists right here next to us every single day. Our mission -- if we choose to accept it -- is not to discover this universe. It's to survive it...!
