We now live in a generation where a series of pixels and a complex binary language controls the average millennials self-esteem, self-evaluation, friends, relationships, and happiness. Priorities have shifted to checking twitter and Snapchat within 60-second intervals. It's considered rare to find an act of kindness and when a moment of such kindness presents itself, there has to be a catch, or it's simply "just a prank bro". Between the media's installation of fear and the real threat of terrorism, it's impossible to even walk around the streets without having to fear the extreme. When has it come about being purely politically correct rather than the matters that pose a serious threat? When did this generation take a turn for the worst? When did it become cool to pull a prank pretending to be a terrorist capable of tearing apart families? When did it become mainstream to stay inside and enjoy other people's experiences through a set of pixels rather than create new and unique experiences only for your eyes and your eyes only. Where is the sense of adventure in living your life in a shell of strangers memories? Where is the appeal in being an immoral, in-genuine, and vial person in internet to gather a meaningless set of numbers to gain a paycheck? This is the reality of the world we live in now and it's difficult to accept the world for what it is.
Being born into a world where you feel anger and immaturity rule, it makes one wonder and envy the past. What happened to drive in movie theaters, an actual face to face conversation, and a time where morals were priority. Perhaps it's just me glorifying a time prior mine as a sort of "grass is greener on the other side" type of thing but imagining a different world will never solve the issue. Everyone believes they were meant for other things or meant for another time. Let me ask you to do something, and for a moment take a break from reality, take a break from the real world and think about what you want this world to be. Now think about what is more plausible, simply finishing this article and continuing on with your life complaining to yourself that this world doesn't make sense, it doesn't play by the rules of morality and humanity like it should or is it more sensible to do something about it.
I'm asking you to stop giving in to the backward evolution of humanity. We're down a path of disconnection and ignorance ruled by a sense of popularity or fear. Do what is right and don't feed into meaningless and harmful mainstream masses. Be the one to stick out and swim upstream. If everyone fought the current of a whirlpool, the current will shift. If done correctly, the current could be diminished. Be the change you want to see and stop feeding into the toxic ideas that spread vial hate and pointless stupidity. Let's return to the times where morality was the leading voice in our heads rather than the amount of favorites we receive or the attention we get from spreading the pure crap the media sh*ts out for us to believe. If we stop giving into the storm which is all the toxins of the modern day, the storm will clear. Let's not look into the past for the good times but the future with anticipation.
