I was thinking about society and how poeple are always talking about how the desires of our people seems to focus on trival matters like pop culture figures, shor sensational news sorties and you tube viceas. Even blods have been thrown into the mix of 'those things without any real value'. Outside of the argument that these things are not really that trivial, why are we drawn to them? I think part of the reason is that our society has become sick and tired of the constant insistence to actually care. We have cared all the way through our childhood, robbed of our innocence with diversity educaton and 'save the rainforest' campagins only to arrive at our adulthood conditioned to think that our opinions don't matter all that much anyway. Not only that, but since we have been warned against the constant bombardment of media, it is only natural that we seek ourselves, our own communities in the patchwork of uncertainty. Some hack with a webcam, we reason, will be more honest that the cultural propoganda that comes out of our television and newspapers, right? In otherwords, I like my trivial culture and I am not entirely sure how any of it goes against what my teachers have been telling me all along! Don't listen the media. That is why we indulge ourselves in such frivolity and nonsense: to satisfy the expectations of our society, but also... to satisfy that human urge... not be be alone?
