Do you remember what the world used to be like? Everything was so much different. People didn't have to work two jobs to pay the rent and they had to worry about horrible problems, like what to do with free time. What was one to do? Use their imagination? That's hard work. Sleep? Pfft, who needs sleep? People even were held accountable back in the long long ago, unlike today where the laws are set up to protect the bad.
Thankfully we got past all that. Now days, we have it so much better. We are all tethered to wireless devices to assure us that we never have those pesky moments of peace and quiet. Also, we work so often, I personally forget what beaches look like. As I recall they were the kind of place that enabled thinking and sorting thoughts. I'm sure glad we got past that. Now we have focus in our lives and clear things to work towards. For example, we need to struggle to afford to eat, or have a home. For a while there we did that but still had some free money that we had to think about spending. Thankfully the cost of gas was more than happy to step up and keep our mind off that extra money.
I proudly feel that we as a race are always looking to the future. I admit great jealousy for my children and their children after them. Imagine how wonderful their world will be. Maybe they will finally have a world where those boring forests are turned into useful car dealerships and even more overpriced gas stations. Maybe some of them will even be able to escape the burden of home owning. All I know for sure is that the next generation is in for a very interesting future and they will have us to thank for it.
