Browsing some profiles on Myspace this morning got me thinking about some stuff. Why is it that people want to be different? Why is it they have to be non-stereotypical? It’s almost like they want to do some simply to be different, not because it’s something they really want to do. Example: I saw someone that got married on a beach. Ok, why? What is the point of that? What causes us to strive to be different? I honestly think that one day, and I don’t mean in our time, but in the future there will be a one world government. A monarchy type rule. Is that a bad thing? I don’t necessarily think so. I think the UN would be decent if everyone would play their part, the problem is though, that the US plays world police. Anyway, that’s straying off topic a little.
But can’t you see it? In the near future, everyone wearing a silver suit with a V from top to bottom? I definitely can. It would make thing easier. I like the idea of no cash, all credit/debit cards. No money, just all on paper. I know that people freak out about that though, and think the only thing that matters is cash. It’s just that society has to change, but people don’t want change. Everyone fears the future. Most people fear change, instead of embracing it. I myself am all about new ideas and concepts, and when I’m a senior citizen, I will try my best to accept new technology instead of rejecting it, like all old people do now. There’s another example of fear of change. These senior citizens have done things a certain way their whole life, and something a hundred times easier comes along, and they don’t want to use it. Take computers for an example. Just one of hundreds of examples. How do we counter this? Accept things instead of fearing them is the only answer I see.
i don’t think people get married on a beach just because they want to be different from everyone else. they do it because they um.. like the beach!
Personally, I think the best way to approach a wedding is to just go to the courthouse and pay like 20 dollars and get it over with….thats being a cheapass and it’s being different.
Ok Carson…
Peoplke need drama and excitement in their lives. That’s why they need to be different.
On another note, please don’t be a cheapass over love or a passing passion over someone. Regard any woman as precious as you would your own daughter as far as love is concerned. Sincerely regard them as your reason for living (if that’s how you should feel), and make them aware of that fact. Don’t make the moment of marriage cheap as it is an eternal pact that we will learn at a later stage in life, even if you should go your separate ways later on due to lack of vision and understanding.
