It’ s a pilot issue, and with that comes a bit of an obligation to flex that opinion muscle and let everyone know what time it is when it comes down to views on the world and other things. The goal with this section is to get other people to chip in on something they feel strongly about. But for right now, I, the‘ Acting Editor-In-Chief’, will assume the role( and guinea pig status) of‘ that person who just HAD to say something’.
The world today is a very crazy place. I think being a child of the mid eighties, and more so of the early nineties, gives me a slight advantage in credibility over these new kids who were born in the mid nineties just now reaching adulthood. I know we always say we’ d never be like our elders, but the truth is that history does indeed repeat itself, whether you realize it or not.
Thankfully this repetition isn’ t something so obvious although there are a lot of dirty hippies around who seem to think that they can smoke their weed and fight their‘ war’ despite the fact that they have no war to fight but a whole lot of pot to ingest. With that being said I guess I should clarify by saying that we as humans now feel so aware of the world that we must take note and expose it on a minute to minute basis. Our struggles and our successes are too important to wait for the day in which they write about it in the history books. We need to tell our stories now.
A part of me really misses that mystique and allure when it came down to how someone got so famous or amazingly successful. When they talked about Bill Gates back in the day it was like a fable or a myth on how one person could be so rich and influential.
Now we have outfits such as Forbes who name someone like Tim Tebow the most influential athlete and all I can do is groan because it isn’ t like I haven’ t heard about every little twitch or spasm he has had over the last year and a half. Everything is way too out in the open.
News media thinks that everything needs to have a light on it and then they turn right back around and give themselves a pat on the back for being‘ good’ when it comes down to reporting. I don’ t think you can pry away at something that was otherwise private and none of your business, and then come back and say you accomplished something major by telling the world about it.
I believe we have all forgotten that old saying of‘ mind your own business’. Everyone is all in each other’ s shit but each person has no idea what THEY are doing about THEMSELVES. It gets worse the younger the people that are in our current time are. Way worse. No social skills, but can you blame them? Their parents didn’ t want to put them into public schools because the schools all get shot up.
Before this becomes reminiscent of an old Tupac song or anything, I would like to say that there is a lot of great things happening right now and hopefully we hear more about them some time soon. For whatever reason we give more emphasis on death and carnage over humility and good natured people but you can’ t get those rating from Nielson Group unless you give a little shock value.
We-like it or not-are all a part of this sphere drifting through space on what may or may not be a divine plan or blueprint. Should we choose to just pass the time with our own goals in life or decide to leave a lasting impression, I think we all need to take a minute each day and just stop trying to get noticed. Most of the time no one really cares anyway so save some memory on your phone and stop taking pictures of yourself in that new outfit. Get some exercise or something.
