In the world today,
Too many cliches make up a life style that is virtually revolving around an infinitesimal unit of technology (cough cough, computers, cough cough). Honestly, it seems we as a people have so much TIME nowadays that we choose to lounge on our couches for hours at a time mindlessly surfing the internet or watching your recorded episode of House. In other words, we've become lackluster lazy lowlifes. Can you even remember the last time you just decided to go for a walk? Ride your bike? Or play outside? We've taken the National motto E Pluribis Unum (Latin for Out of Many, One) to dyer extremes. Yeah, we're one all right. One giant couch-potato.
Sure we SAY we're going to get rid of obesity. We SAY we're going to put an end to pollution. Usually, the people who SAY this, are relying on everyone ELSE to do it for them. And just about everyone else is relying on those people to do the same thing. Nothing is getting done.
However, the stupidest thing in my opinion, is the fact that people are spending hundreds of dollars just so they can get virtual money for their virtual avatar on a virtual site that does virtually NOTHING for you other than giving you virtual statuses that no one even CARES about. We claim that we focus on the reality of things, but
in REALITY, we're still not accomplishing anything. We lay our future in the hands of the government. Hopefully, our government makes the right decisions. WE ARE NOT SHEEP. We are independent human beings who can speak for our SELVES.
Being only thirteen, I can't do much to impact the world today, but hopefully that when it's my generation's turn to rule the world, I can change the world for the better.
