thought of the day

In earlier posts I talked about the "all about me" craze and issues that have come up involving things that I have said about others moral compasses. I just can't stop thinking about it. I can't give it up. I'm so amazed at the sheer ignorance of people and the lack of insight into their own lives. I can't stand hearing the phrase "i am busy". I can't stand it. It literally is the most irritating phrase ever. Everyone is busy, everyone has a life but for some people their shit is way more important. I just wish people could gain some insight. Mind you, if it was that easy everyone would change. My favourite Shakespeare play is King Lear. A man who has no insight and doesn't gain it until he loses everything. To be honest, Shakespeare deals with a lot of life lessons and the blindness people have to the simplicities of life. I cannot stress enough how little insight and little reflection people put into their own lives. It truly is sad the way that the human race is ending up and will forever be with new age technology. It's hard to watch the intelligence die off and people say things that are truly ignorant and dumb. What i find amusing about when people ask me if I am studying English to become a teacher. Not because literature is the source of knowledge and personal wealth. By studying English you are gaining insight and information that a math equation or a science experiment could never teach you. The biggest problem with this world is that everything is a formula and a step by step issue. If more people studied the arts, they would gain a moral compass and a new look at the world. There are reasons why old literature and philosophers are still studied and it isn't because they want to bore us. It is because there is so much depth and knowledge within these texts that people don't even realize because they don't take the time to learn it. I feel as if the epidemic of science and math majors will make this world lose it's intelligence into the practicalities of life. People will become so boring and lifeless that studying things like English won't make any sense because no one will have the brain capacity to understand the in depth analysis of what the truth to life really is.
