Do you ever philosophize? Today me and my friend were doing just that. In the process, verbalizing what we find wrong with the world, and how most of us don’t find it in us to do anything about it, despite the potential and aspirations we had.

We rely on others to change the world but do they really know what they are doing? What WOULD change the world?

Empathy? Have we understood others? What’s behind the facade- is it pain?

Have we become gullible ( due to advertising, corporate speak, politicians, and such ) that we cannot discriminate the truth from falsehoods?Was it worth paying the price of pollution by chopping down our trees?

Have we become too comfortable to challenge what is fed to us? Would we rather have the status quo and resist change? Did we settle for a successful, comfortable life of mediocrity and materialism having forgone the chance to work for a greater purpose?

Maybe if we were back to our innocent, energetic selves, together we might do something worthwhile?

But for now, we’re caught in the cycle everyone’s caught in. Swimming in circles, encountering the same old problems, applying the same old solutions. Living lives of conformity. Just an ordinary life. Wish we could apply some of the things we talk about and maybe together we could make a real difference.
