• If you seen Fight Club then you'll get this. Unnamed Narrator: - When people think you're dying, they really, really listen to you, instead of just... Marla Singer: - instead of just waiting for their turn to speak? I wish people would just listen sometimes. Even if it was just for something small. Instead of turning the conversation on to themselves. Has the world really become that self centered? Do we seek attention that badly? For every great person out there that listens really well, but also shares with you. There are at least six waiting to turn the conversations to themselves. Society sucks now. Seriously, we are all so boring and dull. When you think about it, if you read a book dated from like 1800s, and it's about an upper class group. They speak in Shakespearean quotes. It's not just one book either, it's a lot of them. Even if it's not directly about upper class. For instance; Great expectations is at first about a poor boy. His family's friends are kind of middle class who pretend to be upper class. Mr. Wopsle is one of them. In a few chapters it talks about him practicing Shakespearean quotes. Coincidence? I think not. He wanted to be upper class desperately, desperately enough to study those lines. Bottom line; To be upper class you had to be smart. You had to be educated in literature, art, science, history..the whole shabang. Now a days, being smart is weird and geeky. If someone were to call you a carcass fit for hounds or a botcher's apprentice. You'd say something like 'what the fuck? are you on drugs?' Most people would. It's expected. We have dumbed ourselves down over the years Sure, we're great we have all this technology. But the general population are morons. Yea, they had morons then, and lesser people. But even they were somewhat educated. The higher class for us isn't really all that smart either. There are lots of people who are smart, but it's not like they apply it to daily living. That is so sad to me. What part of the human race decided they wanted to stop being intelligent? Showing intelligence then was like saying 'hey, I'm better than you. Step up your game' Now the only thing that says something like that is a brand. Our society is kind of dull. We should really pick up the pace. Well, I hope that made some sense to someone. Anyhow, my vacation from Shae ended today. He's back and well. We didn't fight today, but he hit me a few times. I wasn't really expecting it. He played it off like he was kidding and then wrestled around, (which is usually fun) but I knew he wasn't kidding. Oh well. It could have been worse. My birthday is in a month, I'm scared that the few people who I really care about will forget. I hope not.
