'society' may be like that....but i am not, and the vast majority of people that i have in my life, close to me...are not either. i engage people on things that are real and important all the time. life IS what YOU make it.

true ... but we're generalizing here ... that's the nature of the discussion ... and it's not just our own personal connections ... it's others too ...

we are all interconnected - what does it mean to you when you sit at lunch with co-workers and the only thing they care about is who britney spears is sleeping with? ... that's where that disconnect happens ...

Yes, although not 'everything' and 'everyone'...

There are still beautiful things, real things and real, beautiful people out there...

Sounds like it's time for y'all to re-read Catcher in the Rye.

Cather in the Rye never did anything for me.

However, I am transformed out of a funk when I read A Dirty Job or Lamb: The Story of Biff, Christ's childhood friend. Both incredibly hilarious.

Humor gets me out of funks. Also, talking with my twin, and road trips with road trip food. An hour on an almost empty highway with those really tall nightlights is totally surreal, and I get an incredible gliding feeling. What I imaging flying to feel like.

I don't know when I first saw this video, but I still cry watching it. It's joy!

You've got a hot teenage neighbor giving free peep shows... that's all the meaning I'd need

I guess I'm not allowed to discuss this here.

Funny and ironic I'd start a thread about fake peeps and the local police strike down a thread about something I needed serious insight about.

We can't have problems enough to discuss appropriately without fundamental judgements passed.

I guess the answer is always ignore because we are ignorant and that's what makes some people happier.

oh i realize the generalization.....but generally speaking, i just don't see the vast majority as such. that's all. and, i think we generalize, negatively, far too much.


as collin states, there IS sooo much beauty in this world, there are sooo many beautiful and real people....so i choose to focus on that. there are ALL kinds of people, period.


i do definitely realize there is 'fakeness' to some degree and a whole host of other traits....but i think too much of it serves a purpose, and life is what it is. imo, it really DOES come down to perspective. that's all. it is not meant to discredit another viewpoint, not at all....just to point out there are other viewpoints, and we can choose to see many things as we CHOOSE to. 'how things are' relatively speaking....is relative.
