I'm tired of the small talk. For serious. Talk to me. Tell me what you are thinking. how you feel about this crazy life.
Yesterday a client of mine came in to pay a deposit on a trip. We talked for about 45 minutes about life, love, positive feelings, negative feelings, the new year, how our thoughts can change our lives, how people can, to a point, control their own destinies. It was awesome. So many people these days talk about the negative economic climate. The DEPRESSION. The RECESSION. And I am sooooo tired of it! Why is everyone so freaking scared? Perhaps if everyone acted like nothing was wrong NOTHING WOULD BE WRONG!
It seems elementary. Maybe it is. I don't know. think about it.
Okay, enough. Really, though. What if we weren't so scared all the time? Most of us would keep living like nothing was amiss. And those of us who lost our jobs, and maybe had to change things a bit? for the most part we still have apartments or houses, for the most parts we still have parents who care, savings accounts, or 401K's to live off of. I know, it is not the best. (and I speak for experience, not just a feeling of camaraderie.) But it is faaar better than most. Suck it up. Deal with it. Feel positive. I don't mean to sound all spiritual on your ass, but maybe some fucking positive thinking will help the grand scheme of things. And I don't mean to cuss on blogger. Lord forbid someone judges me. But this subject is serious enough to cuss about. And I am not going to even give it close to its due. I am only going to say that we all need to just keep our chins up and try to realize that we only have one life, one chance, and we should make the most of it. we are the ones living on this earth right now, and nothing is going to change that. we have it better than many living before us and many living right now. How about thanking our personal "gods" that we have it so good and stop complaining that things aren't as good as our spoiled minds imagined they could be?
I rant. I go on and on.
The thing is ... we are materialistic and spoiled. We could do to go without many things we are used to. Maybe this is the earth's way of saying, "Ha, ha, screwball! Take these leaves and like them!" Really, though. Come on! How many channels do we need? How many "goods" until we are happy? Maybe we should try and enjoy each other and sunsets a little bit more...
Again. I rant. I go on and on.

You really got a bit of your chest there; but I agree with you wholeheartedly. A pity more people wouldn't think positively and enjoy all that we have and life in general.
It's funny. John and I were talking about this the other night. I was dreaming of a home and a new place to live. I mentioned living by the ocean. His first thought was jobs and what a great thing he's got now. I was a bit bummed. I was talking about a dream, something away from the the obvious. Yes, we have bills, children, bills, retirement...but at the end of this life I don't want to remember how much I saved. I want to remember how much I lived. Yes, this has been said before...time and time again. I have to kick myself just to remember that I was a child once and I would dream. Now, I'm responsible and focused? Ugh. I don't like growing up. I'll be like Benjamin Button. I'm going the opposite way.
It's just...why can't we just focus on what's really going on? If all we are missing out on is things then great! We need less around here. Haven't you seen Wall-E?! We have so much waste as it is. Let's start over. Everyone can farm again and we can use our technology to HELP us. We don't need to hide behind it anymore, just work together. LOL. I've seen Wall-E about 10 times in the past two days.
I'm going to run before I ramble on about more nonsensical stuff!
peace and love...
and I'm out...

Erin, I totally agree!!! We do hide behind our techonogy. That is a great way to put it. Let's go back to farming! We need to get a bit dirty to appreciate our lives.
Gordon,
I agree completely! I hate to simplify it, but we really need to stop and smell the flowers. :)
