Why are we so compelled to be under the control of technology? It’s nuts, bolts, screws, chips. Little pieces combined together, ruling us. Laptops, phones? Why do they have to rule us.
And money. It’s just green paper, just paper. It can tear, be shredded, fragile but we live around it. It motivates in the worst ways. Death occurs because of it. Money hungry people rule. It defines statuses, although we’re all on the same boat, called life, where no one can get out alive.
Why live this way? When did society lose sight of the really important things? Those things that don’t constantly change, ruin relationships and reputations, compete. When did we become the people that choose to text instead of talking in person, or the ones that feel so dependent on their technology that they can’t even hold a face to face conversation because Marimba is ringing in the background or a horn tone is letting you know someone took the time to type you something, completely irrelevant.
When did we lose sight of building strong relationships with people instead of building strong relationships with a crappy piece of plastic and glass and a flimsy piece of green construction paper with numbers printed on the corners, things that can get lost and break oh so easily.
Because people strive for convenience over interpersonal relations.
Have a day of self, of others, without an inanimate object delegating who you are and what you’re doing. Change it, or it’ll change you.
