Foolishness

Day 20

Sometimes, I wonder if the internet has done the world more harm than good.  We have access to infinite information and contact with an unprecedented amount of  people who have our same capabilities.  How many people can say, though, that they're better humans as a result?

I try, but sometimes I get the better of myself.  Sometimes, it's a challenge to control the beast within.  I guess, in some ways, it has made me a more patient person.  Most often, that's because I am usually able to stop and think "this simply isn't worth it" where I'd usually have gone flying in flying the "fuck it" flag.

It's filled all of us, myself included, with a false sense of importance.  Most of us who put ideas out there think people actually give a shit about what we have to say.  Some do...  most don't.  Yet here we are, putting it out there over and over again... screaming out to the world... "HEY... I have something to say!!"  Really... how many of us have a genuinely original thought?  The more I live, the more I realize that none of us truly do.  The "gimmick" these days lies in putting an old thought out there in a new way.  You know, for the people who didn't understand it or maybe the information didn't apply to them the last time the information was all the rage.

BLAH... I'm on a roll here, but it's time to get ready for work.  I guess we'll say...

to be continued...

Maybe... unless I think of something else to say.
