Everything is stoopid!

But it wasn't always that way.

We've now come to the point where we buy certain clothes that fit in closely to trends. We buy so much food we gain too much weight and don't know what food we need to eat to maintain our health. We go to school because parents force us or so we'll get a job that will pay us so much money we'll buy our whimsical happiness instead of pursuing a career because we can contribute something to the world while making a decent living. We buy houses that have more rooms than we can sleep in to cover more surface area on the globe, that we feel so guilty for 'warming', than we can walk on. We create a government that regulate everything, nothing, or something in between try to control everyfuckingthing instead of giving aid to people. We study our environment until we know just how we can manipulate it instead of deciphering how the average health of a human being can be elevated.

BUt it wasn't always this way.

But we're not leaving it like this. WE're doing all the right things for the wrong reasons and forgetting why the tasks were created in the first place or why it is good to do certain things.

I feel this largely effects how happy the average American, and human being, is. We'll try to at least look happy or successful just because we're not aware that we have everything we need in our house with food and family or no family. We're so heavily integrated and interact with each other, its hard for me to understand just how lonely some people can be, but the fact is that they're lonely. They are alone and they wish they weren't. But as a living creature, if you can feed yourself, have a place to sleep, and can sustain those two things, you have all you need.

Here's to hoping we can all take pleasure in knowing we're alive and taking care of ourselves even if we don't possess the most material items or know the most people.
