Life goes up and down like a *insert cliche'* all the time, but I suppose that's why it's called life.
You are always hearing about it. It's all everyone talks about these days.
"Live your life to the fullest!"
"Making life easy for you"
"10 ways to live a successful life"
"Life is what you make it"
Life huh.
Life makes you choose.
Life makes you work.
It makes you wonder, ponder, move, love, excite, observe, live.
Sometimes I find it interesting that living in a western society is like playing a great big game of monopoly. Buying and selling, going to jail, paying bills, and gambling. Taking a chance once in a while. People who developed this kind of living must of been smart, because they knew that playing a game like that can be addictive with friends and family, and it appeals to a wide audience. Of course it has its drawbacks, with stabbings and crimes and shit, bu hey, for the most part it seems to be alright.
I don't know, is civilisation just a smokescreen? Most likely yes, of course it is. It gives people who were born in such an environment something to do. Working takes up time, it gives you money which you can do things with, like give it back to the government. But you don't need it. Really you don't. Millions were doing dandy without it. Disease? Hunger? Violence? Thye will always be there. Medical science is just a stall anyway. Until they find a way to extened life for ages then people will die.
Why have it in the first place?
I dunno, people wanted power, people wanted to control things, and people got bored as a result of gaining these things and then realising that it's like having god mode in doom and it really looses its charm in the long run.
Also, you can get some nifty cookbooks thanks to chefs who got board and came up with new ideas.
I guess I'm at a crossroads now, like Britney Spears. What the hell do I do now? And rather, why the hell should I decide now anyway? I'm friggin 18, it's not as old as it sounds, I don't know what I bloody want to do. Fucking hell I can't get up properly in the morning because I don't want too, even though I know that everytime I stay at home and do shit all, that I'm missing out on all sorts of things.
Things people made because they got bored, because supermarkets made it so much easier and people had to fill in the time by making them.
Haha, funny now about how busy people are nowdays. Billy has soccer practise, Andrew has swmming, Jullie has gym, and Mrs Jones likes to do yoga wednesday nights to relax, but always stresses getting there on time and then frets afterwards because she forgot to think about dinner. I can tell you now that all these problems stem from the fact that homework has increased 1000 percent. Parents belive that thier kid should grow up smart so that they can invent things for people to fill in the time. Life changes. People are working so much harder because we belive we should be. We should be smarter, we should be louder, we should be greater...
Because there's nothing else to do is there?
