A Sensitive Society

Do you ever have those moments when all you can think about is what is wrong with our society? Why as humans are we so sensitive to every little thing? Sensitive to the way people act, the way people dress, or the way people live their lives. Why are we all worried about image? I'd like to believe that things will get better as generations change. But I know better than to believe that.

Yeah, it's okay to be passionate about some things - things like saving the world or bettering the good of mankind. But it's the small things that get peoples blood to the point of boiling that I don't understand. Push it to the side, go on with your life, it's not worth getting yourself all worked up over. That's life, be tough, move on.

Maybe it's just my point of view of not stirring up the pot just for the sake of doing it. As I began my morning today, I had to start it by listening to the ramblings of someone stirring the pot. Some who obviously felt so passionate about the topic that they had to spend 5 minutes of their life to voice their expression.

I guess one could argue that "freedom of expression" is anyone's wish. But there is always a time and a place for such things. And this wasn't one of them. Okay, be upset. Let it settle. Then move on with your life.

Birth of a Blog

I've missed having a place to write every once in a while, so here we are at the birth of a blog. (It's the cool thing to do these days...) What you'll find here is a random mix of thoughts, ideas, dreams, wishes, hopes, and just plain tangents. Life is mostly what we make of it, but sometimes life can't help but throw you for a loop and leave you standing there thinking 'what?'. Writing helps me to escape when I need to get away from the insanity. It helps me clear my thoughts when my head is drowning in them. And writing I believe is the only place for me that I can truly and honestly express what I feel.

Who knows what this blog will grow up to be. It could be like all the many other ones from the past that have died. But it could be a place where life could unfold, for I hope that my life has many, many more years ahead filled with ups and downs that are going to be written here.

For now I'm just peaking my head out, not too much to write of at the moment. But when the thoughts do come I'll be back again and again.
