Just Another Rant!

Like seriously, if this world was a moving motorcade, which can just take a stop so I could get off, I would have disembarked a long time ago. Serious!

Maybe I'm being me again, or maybe it is the wrong history notes I read, but I was educated to overstand that this world used to be amazing, full of great vibes and wonders; the Great Pyramid, Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Temple of Artemis, Statue of Zeus, Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, Colossus of Rhodes, and the Lighthouse of Alexandria.

Even to the Chichen Itza, Christ the Redeemer, Great Wall of China, Machu Picchu, Petra, Taj Mahal, and Colosseum. Now is like those celebrated wonders are no longer treasured 

One good thing though; we are able to generate a bank of information and as readily available as it never were, but we take everything for granted. Ancient people never had sophisticated stuff, but made the most of what they had. They had no immunization or antibiotics, but lived longer than us. We gave rise to all these things and make them either too pricey or blend them with side effects.

I just cant prove that yet, but I am suspicious. In fact most of our necessities are either high-priced or useless, synthetic or shallow originals, imitations or superficial stuff, provided under very impolite, selfish and rigid conditions.

Despite the tedious occupations of the ancient folks, parents used to make time to prepare their children for adulthood, now we dump them at day care centers, under the care of nannies who do not know the meaning of ‘guardianship’, or spoil them with folly-generating apparatus.No one seems to give a rat’s behind as regards the crumbling and decomposing circumstances caused by humanity’s blatant laxity.

After the Edisons, Newtons, the Alexander Graham Bells, Galileos, Naismiths, Einsteins, Copernicus, etc, tell me what didn’t our current scientists and philosophers replicate other than FB, IG, Twitter, ‘(not)smartphones’, ‘I-Phony’ and the like, which are primarily why our social knack is dead and we had to resort to this traumatic ambiance

Where are the heroes of our time that we can adore? Don’t tell those fortune 500 owning celebrities whose prominence evaporates after one big scandal; or men in comfy offices spending needlessly on young troops and machines to fight for their reputation; I mean REAL HEROES where are they?

End of Rant!

You only get one life to live...

I’m sure some of you’ll remember my bashing of those kids who fervently trust that “you only live once” (YOLO), mostly to feed their desire ...
