Have you ever had the craving for a deep and meaningful conversation? To just escape from the narrow and shallow daily mentalities that you tend to run into every day?
That would explain how I'm feeling today. I don't know if I can handle another day of just meaningless conversation. The lack of information and the decrease in the value of the words being used in our every day lives is just killing me inside. There's only so much I can take from the whole, "so did you hear about..." or the "where are we going to get wasted tonight?". Whatever happened to the simple yet meaningful days. The days where you would be laying in bed at the end of the night and suddenly say, "ahhh...I've learned so much today, I hope I can remember it all to pass it on to someone else tomorrow"? Has it really been substituted with, "Oh my God...I SO do not remember what happened last night. Oh wait, who are you?" Do they not feel like their days are going to waste? Do people not realize that we are all blessed with a certain amount of knowledge and the only way to make use of that blessing is to use it. Learn and teach it. When the next day comes, learn something new and make sure you teach it to someone else. How else are we going to keep our children from growing to become oh so ignorant, and shallow? How else will we be able to communicate with them, and show them that life carries more valuable information than that of "how to cheat" on some electronic game, or, "how to hint to your parents" about the next "big electronic thing" out there as a Christmas present?
I tried. I tried again. And again. I tried blending in with people my age. I have attempted more times than I can count. At the end of the day, when I lay in my bed...I feel nothing less than shame. Not only have I wasted a day, but I have also killed a few brain cells that I could have used. How could I, how dare I, let the day end without learning or teaching something new? It was a golden rule of mine..."Learn something new every day. To make sure you learned it, teach it" Now...I stand infront of the mirror and I feel ashamed to look myself in the mirror. If am ashamed of myself, what would God say to me if He could? Would He not be ashamed as well? He has blessed us with communication skills, we use them for useless things such as, "hey, what's your number" or "I think you're hot, think we can hook up?" It's sad, pathetic and it makes me sick to my stomach.
I don't know if I'll be able to take any of this anymore. It brings nothing but tears to my eyes and anger in my heart. I have no one to blame but myself. I allowed myself to give up and attempt to blend in with today's generation. A shameful generation. Takers and not givers, beggars AND choosers, ungrateful, wasteful and just simply disgraceful. Yet another reason why I shouldn't have kids. They have done nothing to see this disgusting world we are allowing our children to live. They watch TV for endless hours, yet fall asleep after reading the first page of any sort of book. Spend hours upon hours playing their electronic games rather than going outside and using their minds to create a game to keep them entertained. Wasting money and time gossiping over the phone with their friends, rather than spend quality time with the family.
Who do we blame? The parents, the children or the society? We blame ourselves. We are the children, the parents AND the society. We are nothing but a disgrace to the past generations, when etiquette, manners, morals and ethics made us men and women. A disgrace.

Dear lonely,
There really isn't too much I can say to you, because you have already chastized yourself for going with the flow instead of making a difference.
That would be the only comment I would feel right about making.
Don't just sit here and write of your shortcomings. Instead take what knowledge you have, and use it to better this world.
Your right about your generation, but all the generations before have been just as ignorant about what is truely in store for the future!
Your children are going to grow to my age and the air will not be fit to breathe. They will have to carry oxegen tanks on their backs and stop at purification pumps to refill them.
So do something!!!!
Go to college and develop alternate renewable resourses for our power problems. Teach your kids that all the material possesions in the world are not going to be worth anything if they can't breathe.
Do something to save this planet!
Get involved politically to put better people in office. Ones who are not bought and sold by the capitalists!
Yep shame on you for not taking action, just whining about what you should have done.
Leave a legacy that the world will know of!
If your mad enough to post this blog, then turn that anger into something constructive!
Love & Peace,
jwcj
