Hey, you. Yeah, you! I want the next maybe 5-10 minutes of your life.
Before it’s too late, I want to at least show an attempt at this subject/topic. I may offend people with what I say and that is not my intention. I want people to understand that the things we worry about are all similar to anyone else.
And in life, like yours and mine, we all were accustom to hard work and enduring the satisfaction after. Like earning something. And then something happened in life.
Technology appeared and people loved it. Everything about it. How crazy is it that I call someone in Korea and see that person through my phone. We can search anything on Google or Bing or whatever other search engine people use. We can fly and save days of traveling maybe even years through technology. It was awesome at first. Now, we can't live without it and some of us feel even more alone even though it's easier to connect.
For example, let's picture your day. Okay? Stay with me. Let's say I was a ghost and I followed you throughout your day. How many people do you think we would see staring aimlessly at their phones essentially killing the precious time we have here. With this technology, we are bad a** right? We can build things at godly rates with all this machinery doing it for us.
Hungry? Psh, there’s a Mcdonald’s on every block nowadays! Didn’t they just come out with a whole campaign on how their meat isn’t pink stuff? 60 years after it was a concern? Slaughterhouses that don’t even have real animals in them nowadays. That stuff is sold everywhere! And guess what, people find it delicious!
In stories about the human race there was a progression; That we have evolved and after man created fire, we have created nothing short of an advanced civilization. The direction of humanity has lost its way. I am scared where life is going to take us in the next 20 years; As should you.
We need to understand that we are special; humans are special. We need to be told that every day. We need to feel proud and feel empowered not to let this progression overtake our humanity. We can change the world; you, me, anyone. And it all starts by loving who you are as a person. If you love yourself, you'll live and act out of love. Your fellow man needs it. We all need it.
