What if we were all just a little bit nicer to each other. We tried just that little bit harder each day to help another out. What has become of us when our next generation of people are a beautiful example of pure and simple narcissists. Each day more and more of them arrive, you know the type, the ones to whom everything is owed to, but who does not believe that any of it is worth working for. The media allows for and in fact encourages this, through their constant pursuit of the lives of 'famous' people. People who seemingly do not have to do anything for their meal ticket beyond existing. Television appears to be a breeding ground for this sort of behaviour, television as both a viewing console, counterpart gaming console, and these days, probably Internet console as well. This television device allows for and in fact provides continuous depictions of 'famous' people, all of whom perpetuate the delusion of not having to WORK for your money. Maybe, they're masochists all of the media, every last one of them or is it we that are truly the masochists, grinding away at work while our dreams fester and boil inside you. Maybe, I am envious, being a dramatist/ wishful actor, I must admit that given the opportunity to live in this fashion I would lunge at the chance. the fact is that we all wish to be these people, in some way or another, what we do not really do is look at the big picture. We are consumed by our jobs so that the majority of us can labour our lives away to merely stay afloat, only to be kept interested by the lure of fame or some other achievement that would bring financial security. This is all well and good, but what have we as a society really achieved that is worthwhile, a working world? If not creative or using some form of creative facility, what really do we have to show culturally or societally that is worth a damn? Our houses, where we destroy thousands of acres of land to house a few, not thinking to work with the land to house our selves. No we must dominate mother nature, that is what makes us feel powerful and successful. No, we have to show, how to work your life away, never really getting the time to achieve those personal dreams and goals that you have nurtured from when you were young. I believe that if we were nicer to each other, then we would be nicer to our natural world, maybe then we could have some longevity as a species. Anyhow, serious thoughts to have after one in the morning.
