What a Sad Place...

Today I woke up and realized just how sad life is. I walk around in clunky cloth called shoes on a road made of hard stuff in a concrete jungle. I mean, what has happened to the green glory of nature, and the soft squishy feeling of grass inbetween our toes, and the feeling of free flowing water lapping on our feet. Everything we do is related to computers, we no longer have to leave the house to get anything, amazon.com pretty much does that for us, and with a one day delivery process, especially in the USA, who needs to leave the house. All restaurants deliver nowadays so nobody even has to leave the luxury of their houses to get food. It's a sad sad world that almost everything we do revolves around machines, like this computer. How people resort to text messaging and messenger services to talk when meeting in person is just so much more enthralling. What happened to the simple life, of walking up to someone and just talking about whatever pleases us, without having to worry about how they feel about it, or how they might view us after we have spoken? And the best thing is that I can complain and complain and complain some more, but I know that I will never do anything to improve it. It is truly a sad sad world.

The World Cup...


Every four years the entire world succumbs to a little fever called "The World Cup Fever" in which people of all nationalities, wealth and general taste come together to watch the clashing of the greatest football players in the world. I am a great World Cup, but it is only this year that I have realized that in addition to uniting the entities of the world the World Cup creates lots of tension between nations. For instance there was case in which a south American football player accidentally placed the ball in his own goal. Unfortunately, the country took it as betrayal and murdered him upon arrival. Also, fanatics often become so obsessed that a loss often leads to street violence, and further injuries are susceptible. Although these are minor cases, the importance of that Cup has become so great, that many feel the need to have the cup within the borders of their nation. The Fifa World Cup may be a uniting front and has definitly improved relations between many of the participating countries, but in addition to unity, it also creates divergence; in retrospect of nationality and national pride. It's a two way street, just as anything else.
