What I love about being part of the first world is that the only sadness that ever comes is mostly from our personal lives. People try to say, "But look at [Third world people]!" but I don't care about a starving / diseased kid that will never positively or negatively change my life, at most that kid makes me feel more thankful to be born in the U.S. of A. Is it sad that that kid is suffering, yes, but ultimately the problem of people isn't mine or any of my business. If the third worlders were nationalistic enough they would realize that they can improve their country to not be a total dump. That isn't saying that they aren't trying but they aren't caring hard enough, there was a reason why the United States was able to develop quickly.

"there is nothing wrong with us still being on here"
i feel like it's at least partially to blame for my relative lack of social life

In response to the first world depression:
Money cannot by happiness, and material possessions are not the measure of it. I know this because some of the most depressed people I've been around have been upper class socialites. And some of the happiest people I've known have come from the slums. Perhaps the first world has forgotten that happiness is immaterial.
In response to the technology debate:
Technology is nice and all, but I feel overwhelmed by it. Sometimes I think people should just take a short break and just enjoy the natural world. I think I've gotten more enjoyment out of a stream in my neighborhood than I ever have gotten out of a cell phone.
Respect the science! |
