I’ve been thinking lately about our society and how it has been negatively affected by pop culture. I feel like we are getting dumber, less sensitive, more promiscuous, less respectful, less caring, more selfish, and altogether a far worse sense of good character. Its cause has had a noticeable effect on youth. People dress differently, speak differently, and have a far worse attitude about life and how to live it. They no longer care about the common good of man and making the world a better place. Instead, they are more concerned with iPhones and getting laid 24/7.
Personally, I can’t help but feel ashamed. I see it happening right in front of me as it hits me in waves. For every solid, decent person I meet, there is ten, twenty, fifty, even a hundred people that I want nothing to do with.
This realization has caused me to grow distance from our society as it further descends into corruption and moral decay.
Well said, David! I know exactly how you feel on this one! As a matter of fact, I've been experiencing the same feelings and understandings about what is going on with our world. I believe a lot of people are starting to finally wake up and see the truth. This understanding has actually evolved me into a more spiritual person and now I've been channeling my energy toward something good, constructive and unselfish by caring for the planet and volunteering my time with a positive/ progressive organization. I sure wish I felt this way sooner! I've been reading a good bit of self-help books, not just on the psyche of the mind or self-motivational books, but spiritual guidance books and books about religions, the ones I've once thought were 'evil'. I have been so naive and ignorant for thinking such stupidity and for not caring about the simplest things in life! I'll tell you, it's time for everyone to wake up before it's too late! Or else we'll end up like in the film Idiocracy.
ReplyDeleteI hear you David. You can't go anywhere these days without being rudley awakened by the 'gimme gimme' attitude of today's society. The old values and virtues that people once stood by for so long are quickly eroding away....it's a downright shame.
