Mystery

I think most of the mystery that can be found hiding in today's society is found in simplicity. No one seems to know what it is anymore, no one cares about anything that's not electronic or processed. Everything has to be rushed and flashy. I mean, people are always rushing! Rushing to work, into relationships, to fulfill any urge they may have...it has to be immediate satisfaction in this day and age. If you threw an average, run of the mill teenager in the middle of a boat on a serene lake, with no distractions or cellphones, they wouldn't know what to do with themselves, no one knows how to simply enjoy a moment anymore, with no additives. I think we all need to start looking at time as more than just an enemy. There are many mysteries in life of course, this only being one of them, but I do think that it's a big problem. I feel like people are so stressed and strained with current society they have forgotten the simple pleasures, and that is what really makes happiness. I don't know, this is only my conclusion after seeing life for the short time I have been able to observe it, but I think it seems to be the case. One of the great mysteries of life, is remembering what life is about.

  2. I would know what to do, but that's just me. I'm a weird one so I guess I don't count.
