Howdy y'all. Well, I have a Myspace now and so far it's pretty cool. I had alot of invites when I got home from work, but denied alot of them. Some of them were from people who seem to just automatically send friend requests to everyone. Man they have way too much time on their hands. I have more important things to do, like a life and family. Which brings me to my subject today.
I know the internet is a good thing and a convienient way to meet people, but what happened to personal interaction? People talk all the time online, but how many of them have actually met? How many people on your friends list would actually approach and talk to in real life?
Online a person can be who they want and what they want. They can be someone other than themselves. Has the world become that cruel or that insecure? Are we a nation of such truely unhappy people that we must create a fantasy world or fantasy life for ourselves?
What ever happened to the confidence and self-assuredness that people were once known for? The arrogance of the past? Why can't people be happy with who they are, the way they are, and what they have?
Statistically speaking, we are more successful than 10 years ago. Household incomes are up. Spending is at an all time high. We have cell phones and computers in almost every household. All things that were once symbols of the "status quo" are now commonplace. But society is less happy and less secure; less confident in their abilities and capabilities.Also, people have more education now than before. More knowledge, more experience, but less acceptance.
I hope everyone can find true peace and happiness in who they are not who they wish they were. You haveto accept yourself before you can be truely accepted by others. Talk to y'all later. Bye y'all!!!
