Leashes

I don't know what it is about leashes but they bug me. 

Sure I get that you want to keep your pets near you. What I mean is when people tie up their dogs and leave them outside while they're inside. I'm like COME ON PEOPLE! How would you like it if someone did that to you? 

Really, I get that people don't want their pets running off to a better life, or sniff every other dog's butt that walks by. But why do people feel like they can just tie them up to a tree and spend forever inside. Yes, it's better than just leaving them in the car, no I would feel bad if your dog runs in front of a car and gets hit because I said leashes suck. 

Oh and what I really can't get is kids...on leashes. I mean, what is up with that? I'm somewhat understanding about animals on leashes but your own flesh and blood? That's just wrong. 

I know, I know little kids are always running around and breaking stuff but if you don't want that then why did you have a kid in the first place? I just don't get where someone decided 'Hey I'll just put this leash on Junior here and keep 'im from running off.' 

People are just bizarre. 

The Holidays

Ah, yes it's that time of year again. The time for fighting matches over toys, putting ones self into debt and dealing with the in-laws. 

Aren't these suppose to be the times of giving, of helping those in need and enjoying yourself? Isn't the whole point of Christmas about Jesus' birth? Hint the name Christmas. 

So why is it that people feel the need to forego church, and spend those last minutes before the big day buying last minute presents and wrapping? It seems that the holidays have lost the cheer that they should have. 

Perhaps Christmas has become all too commercialized. All anyone cares about is presents. Forget the family and the delicious food, gimme the presents. 

I believe that this reflects our society; all we care about is the material. We no longer care about the birth of Jesus, oh yeah the whole point of Christmas. Hmmm...

Loneliness

We've all been there, we've all felt and experienced it. Loneliness. 

Sure, us humans are pretty social creatures, but we are also disloyal-backstabbing-smart-mouthed-hypocritical-criticizing creatures. It's true, don't deny it. So why do we spend the majority of our lives finding people to hold near and dear. 

Yes, I may sound dismal and depressing but hey it's a good point! I mean we go to such great lengths to impress people and make friends with the 'right' people. Inevitably though we will end up hurt and lying around heart-broken. Not to mention lonely. 

There are some people out there, a big majority of people I am sure, who are just lonely people. They can be really social and friendly, but deep down they still don't feel that connection to other human beings that some people do. There are those to try to solve their loneliness with material goods or by changing their looks or personalities, there are those who simply accept that they will always just feel like they are missing out on people. 

Of course some of these people will go to great lengths to solve their loneliness, but there are also people who just accept it and get on. 

Okay, so if you are sitting there saying, "Me lonely? Nope, I'm never lonely, I'm always surrounded by people." Then all I have to say to you is, Get over yourself. I don't think there is a single person who has ever not felt loneliness, if I am wrong please do prove me wrong. 

So what drives us to want to always surround ourselves with people? What is it that makes all of us lonely? Is it simply because we don't realize something or maybe there's just something wrong in our brains. Whatever it is, it sucks. 

Society

Okay so society is a part of the culture we live in. From country to country (even from state to state here in the USA) it's not the same. It can be close and some parts are similar but overall it's different. 

Society tells us what's good, what's bad what we have to do to succeed and what it means to fail. Like us humans society has developed along with us. But where did it all start and why do we care so much about it?

I suppose we could go all the way back to the good old Mesopotainians or even farther back. Back to when humans started living together and developing civilization. But was this a wise move?

Really, think about it. Before we were happy living in our caves, hunting mammoths and living off the land, we were basically happy and healthy. 

Then some moron (or a group of morons) went and ruined it. They started living in larger groups, in huts (no more caves) and started to ruin the land that had given us life for so many years. Sure, humans are social creatures and we are rather smart and sooner or later would have moved out of the caves and eventually maybe gotten us to where we are today, completely reliant on technology. We can no longer do anything on our own. 

What I'm getting at is, has our societies ruin us humans and our planet? We're dealing with rising violence, pollution (don't forget global warming) and so many more problems. Was it a good and smart move for humans to move out of the caves and start over populating the land? 

I think that over time our society and culture has slowly shifted away form what's important (like education) into something that could lead to the end of our rule over the planet. We are no longer the scholar we once were, we are no longer as intelluctual as our ancestors. We are sloths, violent ones at that. We no longer care about knowledge, out society show us that all that matters is money, glory and a big house with several ex-husbands (or ex-wives).

Just some thoughts to digest but has out society ultimately destroyed our human race?

The good and The Bad

In life there is either good or bad. Yes, there are often cases when there is both good and bad present. But to bad you must have good and to have good you must have bad. 

I believe that in every human we have the good (obviously our good atributes) and the bad (our flaws if you will). Sure some people show their flaws more while others show their good parts more, it's up to the person.

What I think our society has forgotten is that you can't live with out one or the other. You gotta have both. Sure, it sucks, but hey that's life for you so get over it. In society it seems like people try too much to get rid of the bad, but what they are missing is that without the bad then we wouldn't be able to understand what good is. Without good then we wouldn't know what something 'good' was. I think a lot of people seem to miss this. For ever bad thing their is an equally good things that comes from it and vice versa. 

But now-a-days people are just too lazy to step back and look at the entire situation and find the good parts and the bad parts, we are all guilty of simply writing something off as either good or bad and not finding both in the situation. Maybe if we stopped not looking into the situation and actually used our brains for something then we would perhaps be a much more content society. Who knows. 

Mentality

It's something we all do, whether or not we want to, it's growing up.
We start out as young babies, knowing nothing, and we work our way through out the years to become wise old people. How is age based? Sure, you could go with how many years people have been alive. But I'm sure some day in the future this won't get you very far. Is it looks or actions or even how much knowledge we know?
If it's based on knowledge then there are alot of people out there who have some growing up to do. I believe that a persons first hint at age is how a person looks, if they have white hair and wrinkles then we believe them to be old. So you could go with looks.
What really matters I believe is how a person handles situations in life. This is what I think makes us grown up or not. There are instinces in life where people are forced to grow up sooner than other people, but hey that's life for you.
If someone where to judge a person on how they handle the situations they find themselves in then I think you would have a much better guess of their age, and a better understanding of that person.
True, this may not always be the case, but there will always be exceptions.

Remembrance

So deep question for you all, are you happy with your lives? I mean yes, us Americans and other rulers of the world have pretty good life. But what I mean, if you were to die in three hours would you be worried as to what you will be remember as, or what great accomplishments you acheived.
I guess what I am asking is this, are you happy with what you have done with your life? Is there something so that in fifty years when people come across you they know you for something?
I think that as humans that's what we aim for in life, to be remember for something. In some way, whether or not it's clear to us, all our actions (or at least most of them) are caused by our desire to be remember through out time.
Isn't it everyone's goal to go down in history? Even if it's just for something like pizza rolls or magnets.

Emotions

I have the question of the ages, what are our emotions? Okay, yea I know what happy and sad and all that is. But what I'm asking is, what exactly are their point?

Really to me it seems that more often than not emotions mess things up and screw with your mind. Sure, emotions are what make us human and all but I mean really again with why are our lives so evolved around how we feel? When was there the point (if there is a certain point) when people began caring about what they were feeling?

No, I'm not saying that all emotions and actions based on emotion are bad, I'm just curious about where it all originated. I want to met the caveman that woke up one morning and said to himself Today I feel happy, I'm going to enjoy the day or Grrr, I'm made, I want to go hunt some wholly mammoth. 

Really when did the human brain begin acknowledging the emotions we feel? Is this the one thing that sets us apart from all the other mammals? 

We are all guilty of acting upon our emotions and not clearly thinking an act through, we've all done it countless times. If we are mad then we are usually crappy and so on and so forth, but why aren't other mammals like this?

Ho hum

Yea, it's been awhile I know, my bad. But here I am! 

So I've noticed something, there are people in our world who don't seem to understand that when it's cloudy and there's white flakes falling from the sky it usually means it's winter. This means its time to put away those skirts and put on some pants. 

That's not what I wanted to talk about, just a little shout out. Anyway, have you ever noticed that us humans are somewhat affected by the weather? No seriously we sorta are! In the snowy months of the year a lot of people get depressed but when it's sunny out people are all happy and smiley. What's up with that?

Okay so also another thing, yes today I am a bit all over the place, is have you noticed how influenced people are by their emotions? We like to pretend that we are actually in control of our emotions but when it comes down to it we really aren't. If we're happy, then we are all smiles and nice to people, but when we are crappy then we are mean. I just think it's kinda funny how we pretend we don't allow our emotions to guide us, but we do. 

That's about it...
