I live in the year 2015

     Here I am in 2015 and it's a fast paced technology ridden world. It all started with us and planet earth. The planet began with all kinds of raw materials which we've used to develop sophisticated technologies. We've built. We've designed. We've done amazing things. And here we are. Same world. Same place. Same disposition. With seemingly more options.

     Now, I'm not labeled a Philosopher. I think a lot about how to live. Maybe I am a philosopher, I don't know. One thing is for sure, I want to be the best I can be. I'm not so concerned with outside issues. I believe that anybody has the ability to determine how the world responds to him personally. I believe anything is possible.

     The issue I have is how to move forward truthfully, properly, correctly, in the best way. There are so many pulls to get absorbed in, and to lose oneself in conversations and opinions. It's unsettling. Can a person live today, under the radar, not "connected" with everything and everybody all the time, under a pile of drama and a seeming responsibility to be so?

   I think that what I truly want, is to be able to live well having everything I need, without having much to do with everything that's going on in the world. It's not important to me. It's too much and it's annoying.

     I like technology. It's useful. Tools are useful. But for what? To build I suppose. To build what? And how much of it? Where are we heading? What do we need, and what should we do with it?

     It seems to me that most people are not headed anywhere. They don't use their minds. They're just existing and don't want much more than narcissistic supply.

     In other words, What Are You Doing With Your Life?!
     Perpetuating perpetuation
     Bravo
     Great
     Not really

     I hate perpetuating empty perpetuation. I really hate it. My mind works differently. I like reaching levels. I like meaning. I like growth. I'm not engrossed in the material world more than what I need from it. When I have that, all I care about is spirituality, and big picture growth.

     I'm sensitive. Others have their way of seeing things. It's normally too crazy for me. It messes me up. As people we listen to eachother. We absorb eachother. We affect and infect eachother.
