There's More to Life than This

I realize that I am getting older and I may not have my finger on the pulse so much these days, but I don't think I'm wrong when I say that our society is getting more and more shallow with each passing day. I feel like I'm grasping at straws to keep hold of all of the amazing people. Those who spend their time actually thinking about themselves and their part in this life. People who watch the rain fall and smell the trees in autumn. It's all: "ME! ME! ME! FUCKING ME! I WANT EVERYTHING THIS INSTANT AND DON'T WANT TO WORK FOR ANYTHING! I WANT MY "MUSIC" SPOON-FED TO ME! I WANT TO BE PART OF THE MASSES! BEING DIFFERENT IS SCARY!" Frankly, I've had it with this nonsense. This modern age electronic bullshit can go suck it as far as I'm concerned. Do I use a computer almost constantly? Yes. Would I trade it to go back to the days when people used landlines and snail mail and typewriters? FUCK YES, I would in an instant. Wouldn't have to think twice about it, in fact. Everything is processed and dumbed down. There is no effort put into anything. It's dollars and cents, dollars and cents. Cheaply made, meaningless GARBAGE. The Amish people know where it's at, I'll tell you what. If only I were religious I'd give all of this crap up and join them or a convent or something. As it stands now, I can only hope that one day I can move out into the country and live off the land and leave today's idiots of society in the dust...
