Life, love, and existance. Where have we gone as a society? I mean have we really changed that much? From Galileo giving his theory about the earth then being put on house arrest by the pope seems quite an injustice and rediculous by today's standards, but are we really that far off? Have our minds really fucking opened that much in the past years? People still are greedy and are even more focused on social stature. Royalty replaced with celebrities, and being fashionable is stiff the fucking same. If you arn't dressed right then you are an outcast, simply put that is how it goes. You can't have a mohawk and walk into a nice bar and expect to be treated the same as everyone else. It's all about social stature for human kind. I am generalizing, and I'm sure there are many more people more open minded these days and more is being written, said, and done. Though keep in mind that there are a lot more people these days and being in America we've just traded torture for jail and forced economic depression. Also, one could argue that I'm just being cynical and that I need to look at the bright part of life these days in America, but you know what? It's not enough, I...We as a people need more. What does our future hold? When my generation finally takes the reigns of this country who is it going to be? Is a tattooed president in the future? Is Capitalism going to end by me doing nothing or shutting up? Who is going to act, ask questions? Or are my peers just going to keep buying shit and drinking in "cool spots" to stay popular in the scene. The human race is amazing and extremely stoic on survival, and the numbers of educated people are up, but there arn't enough numbers and I'm not speaking of school. Simply put, the more religion that is out there the worse it will be, the more greedy "well I need to make as much as possible" additudes will keep us going on the same road as we've been on since our conception.
We need new ideas, we need to ask questions, we need to try to evolve as a society and not succumb to popularity or social presentation because it's trite and in the end, at the end of the day...how is having fake friends who think they know you based on how you act at that time (as opposed to how you act alone) or having that new "insert whatever stupid item people have to keep up with the trends here" really going to matter?
