To whom it may concern... what a load *hahaha*
People are feeling more and more disconnected. Funny how technology was supposed to bring is together and yet we see less of each other. How can we value something that is constantly there?
Slowly we lose value in that "something" because it is so easily accessible. We forgot what made it so special in the first place... we value communication so much it can cause a huge burden on our mental state if we don't.
People are happily and eagerly waiting for conversation... but to little do I see real communication. Sure you can be face to face and talk about something... but is it not mostly about yourself?
The ego in this country is out of control ... if it is not about me... than who cares?
I see more and more people looking at there phones or simply zoning out when talking with people. They don't really care... because it is not about them. Ever have a conversation where the other person is not interested... it can be so obvious and then as soon as you bring up something about them or something they want to hear... suddenly they are "listening".
Nobody really cares what you ate for dinner or that you are breastfeeding your child (seems to be popular with some women) yet these are the things we get. Facebook and Snapchat are huge with this message... of "it's all about me" attitude. Beyond that we have the true face to face conversations which are becoming more of the same. "If I don't like it or it doesn't have something to do with me... well who cares?"
Here again is a huge problem... how can people be truly happy when they express themselves and no one cares? It goes both ways now... people are lost because everyone has this ego problem and no one want's to think beyond themselves. "What do I get out of this? "
People literally talk to people for attention or because they are bored these days... when it should be because you enjoy the company and truly and interested in SOMEONE other than yourself. How hard it most be for someone with a true passion and try to move it along only for people to not listen or care... yet as soon as you "make it" or whatever ... all the sudden here comes the same people who couldn't have cared less to ride your cote tails and find you of value.
Don't have money? ... who cares about you!
Don't have tons of friends? ... who cares about you!
Don't listen to the latest stuff? ... who cares about you!
Not a Republican / Democrat? ... who cares about you!
Not An Alpha Male / Feminist ... you get the point.
This is how people are valuing others... only causing a ton of separation and anxiety between those who feel left out of the so called "circle". So people take a stand...
Someone will say ... Well I am a member of the NRA and I support Trump ... Another will find Value in that person if he thinks the same way... not knowing any true thing about the person in general. The man could be an Serial Killer and yet we hold such strong value off of our selfish first impressions.
Had to learn this one day as I watched a close friend become friends with this kid named Mike (we will call him)
They talked about weed and watched similar movies... my buddy valued him very high because he liked those two things... yet never seemed to dig deeper with the person at all. Later we found out he was a nasty drug dealer who ended up in prison for touching a little girl. I remember fuming and feeling so surprised at the time. We don't really know people... we set some on pedestals because they are beautiful or they share similar interests ... which is all just selfish and total B.S.
Never once digging into the soul of someone... truly discovering there wants and needs... from this we can find out who they are pretty quickly. Yet we all just roam around a circle of people who we find value in ... but with blinders on.
Communication is lacking and we don't listen like we should.
"We have two ears ... and one mouth"
Yet we can't help but talk about ourselves and very little listen to someone else.
Main reason we have so many suicidal people ... is lack of communication ... real communication.
We go out and try to connect with people only to find there is something off. We never do things for others if it doesn't help us or give us some kind of "feeling of satisfaction". There are those who really want to connect and learn the hard truth... that most are unable. Simply talking to people just to talk is worthless and empty and I feel that is where we are. People are using people for general attention and "needs". So long as they can get off there social media binge... HA.
Perhaps what we need is to lose everything and depend on people again... like in third world countries where people come together and build greater things for "each other"
people gather food and share with others in the village... people gather supplies and build with each other to keep everyone safe... people talk and dance without any outsiders interference and just enjoy life. There is a sense of oneness with them... where here in this country it feels like the divide couldn't be stronger. Simple reason is the media and stuff we latch onto and the false lie our countries have told us... The ego builds and our minds are stubborn. See they do it to survive and help because they understand the value of life and the struggle... something most will never understand...
It becomes more about them and less about "I" and almost to a sense of forgetting what "I" means.
Imagine going somewhere where the only means to survive is to communicate. We don't need that here anymore... almost everything can be done for us or provided by machine... so how are we supposed to truly understand unity and communication when everything is constructed against it?
If a villager were to learn technology and come to our country and try to communicate the same way it would fall on deaf ears. Why?
Because they are true to the art of communication and would hope others were only to find a bunch of attention seeking snowflakes ;)
Some would fall in line... while others would hope to go back home. Feeling lost and not understanding the divide we all seem to share. They are strong with unity and with great communication they survive... we are fortunate yes... but for how long?
Imagine for a second that american crumbles... really think everyone is going to unify and fix everything ? BIG FAT NOPE...
Reason being is that there is so much Ego and separation that people would seek there OWN ways of fixing it. Then you have the Crazies who would be looting and destroying even more along the way. People looking for power or supplies or whatever it is they value. Send a well communicative people who understand the problem and have no outside force (Technology, Politics, ect.) They will most definitely flourish. It may not contain huge monuments or have technology up and running ... but I say who gives a Flying Fuck?
They will flourish in a way that most people will never experience by communication and love and understanding... that is all that is needed for a strong bond.... that is all that is needed for happiness... anything else is extra. They would flourish because they understood in the beginning that it was about more than "I" ... It was about "US" ... It was more than what can I own or get from this person... all of which are dead-ends... they don't think that way... hopefully more people start to get that... unfortunately the virus is spreading.
