Our world is terrible. Cynical, greedy, a place where power is determined by income and the only news on tv is bad news because good new does not sell. Look at how badly women are publicized they are told each day to be skinnier and skinner yet the covers of magazines that are printed monthly have their covers altered with photoshop to make the breasts bigger and the thighs slimmer. Sex sells and the media enjoys toying with the idea that along with fast food Americans need to be pumpin as much as their puttin down the Big Macs. Its sad how many stereotypes are placed on people these days. All guys want is sex and all women want is love which in some "tests" have been proven true but nonetheless ever heard of diversity. These stereotypes place the men with the job of finding the woman and the woman the job of saying I want that perfect guy. As money becomes more of a priority I see more woman dating the man with the corvette or the mansion. Money can buy love people and that is how bad the world is. Look at Hollywood, it is a reflection of this lifestyle. How many of us want to be that successful? How many of us want to be like them? How can we though when the world tells us to be better? There is no middle ground in life society tells us to try harder. The only middle ground we reach is when we receive a reward or the clock stops long enough for us to be recognized. Then it picks up along with our day to day lives. Americans are so busy that it is affecting their family life. Sixty percent of families in America now are divorced, I'm one of them. Where did our world go wrong? What did America do as well as the world that contributed to this hell hole. Troops die every day now over in Iraw and each day it is looking like another Vietnam. Bring home the caskets and you still have Bush each day saying "We are making progress." Vengeance is sweet but not at the expense of so many lives in return. What are you all going to do with your lives? Go to college and then what raise a family and then what. The life cycle is simple; birth, education, job, marriage, family, retirement death. Another stereotype. Love and what is that these days anyway just another emotion that so many people (including me) think they understand. If you want to understand love, understand pain because good things bring more suffering than fortune. Look at childbirth 9 months of hell and then BAM a kid. Then you got childhood and all the diapers in the world before you can call yourself sane again. By the way don't forget about college expenses. I'm not saying that love is a bad thing it is just an emotion that is overrated and clearly misunderstood primarily by teenagers. Love and intimacy are two seperate things. Love is an emotion, sex is an action. I'm not a very good writer and all but hey maybe people can relate to these topcis. Bye.
