November 8th 2003
2003, you'd think by now all the movies indignations of robot servants, and flying cars would at lest seem in grasp. Do I rule out it’s possibly, of course not. But the practicality of it, perhaps. A society can do many great things, but find itself riddled with the m of those who obstructs its goals
I’m in my early twenties, yet looking at life as though I’ve been looking at it for 40 years or more. Why would someone in the prime of there life feel so old. Perhaps age isn’t the measure of ones character society makes it out to be. Not a day goes by were an older person doesn't look to the world and say there as young as they feel. Much truth can be found in that. Though ones body doesn't always concur with ones mind, ones abilities can be varied by it. I’m left to wonder why if so many elderly can feel young, I’m left feeling old. While the answers may be far from if at all achievable, there is room for speculation. Maturity seams the most likely answer. A select portion of youth grows up isolated. Modern medicine looks too quickly for a clinical solution. Kids on riddalen, thousands of TV commercials outlining so vaguely a way of life that would easily sway many to thinking they are depressed. Depression, I don't think so. Life is depression. A chemical imbalance of the brain or so is said. Maybe that chemical imbalance is happiness. Ask any one person whom considers them self depress the last time they were happy. Self accomplishment, l happiness, a different perspective on the world is what is needed. Life is the simplest and yet the most complex thing any human will ever find. It’s as simples as eating, drinking and breathing, and yet simultaneously has an infinitely expanding complication faction that has no one answer. You can't teach what I’m trying to say. Perhaps the culture we lave in is the problem. Think to yourself, would you pick up a self help book when you don't want to believe there is anything wrong with you. Would its purchase be embarring, if only to the slightest degree? Why? Because we make it this way. There is nothing wrong with looking to your self for a better life. This is the key to solving the puzzle. Everything life throws your way, be it good or bad, is nothing to look down upon. Look to yourself and evaluate. What can you do better, what can be worse, what static’s in your life hold these together, and how can you work on improving things. There is an individual answer in everyone’s life. The number one answer may be money. This is one answer you can only use if you’re looking for a long term solution. Money isn't instant, it doesn't grow on trees, and best odds say you’re not going to win the lottery. How can I say that? I can because anyone answering a life evaluation style evaluation with money doesn't spend enough time trying to earn it. Opportunity is readily available for anyone who seeks it. Old world economy relied primarily on those who could make something, and purchaser who couldn't. A farmer sells corn to the shoemaker, and shoemaker makes shoes for to the farmer. Bartering, finances, all this comes with economy. Telecommunication expands our scope; international shipping is readily available from any city. What can't been done with the proper effort put into it. I'll stop here. I stop because I realize I’ve gone of topic without ever leaving the point. This will get me no were, but other so far. You may read this not knowing why anyone would take the time to write such this. A good idea. That’s the point. This is a good idea, now go and expand on it. Go meet some new people, go learn something new, get a hobbies do something worth while. Be interesting. Don’t' look at what other have, or how to be like them. Look to be who you want to be. Try for one day, putting a chin up, a smile on your face, the right foot forward, and set out to face your day. Shrug of those who may ridicule or look down on you. Attempt to strike up conversation with someone your normally wouldn't. Take a few moments to yourself to look around you. Point out what’s good not what bad. And at the end of the day, whether you have someone to come home to or not. Ask yourself if this is a better way to face a day. When you realize it is, do whatever you can to keep it up. It’s when we don't that we fall.
