Revolution
There are so many differences between the generations it is staggering.
Our generation is the first to blatently disrepect. We are the first to be born plugged in and live our whole lives that way. We grow to new technologies, instantly adapt to everything, and are shocked by nothing. The world changes day in and out, fast as lightning, and we are the first to catch up.
Who would think that the world would end up like this? From days when people walked place to place, lived with what we see as nothing now. Simple things we take for granted, from sugary foods to central heat, a complete impossibility to the past. Look at us now. We drive our cars, burning millions of gallons of gasoline a day, to conglomerants that are our trusts. Wal-Mart. Starbucks. Microsoft. Five hundred years ago, who would have thought such things could ever exist? That a person in California could speak to a person in Hong Kong with only a few seconds delay?
Our world is falling apart. We are living in a time bomb. Correction--we are a time bomb, ticking through our lives each day as the world goes insane around our ears. Bombs and drugs and constant, constant war, and we hardly even realize. We couldn't do anything about it if we did. Once the masses raise up, once we open our eyes and truly see what we are doing and who we are, it won't be able to sustain itself any longer.
We can only hope.
