The Sky
While flying back the the States on the airplane, I noticed how beautiful the clouds were. During the two months that I’ve been in Korea, the tall buildings and the endless tops of mountains blocked my view of the sky. But now, the sky’s wonderful color seems to renew my mind and just make me feel happy. I feel like a hippie saying this, but nature is wonderful. Don’t you think so? I mean what if there were no trees, mountains, flowers, canyons, ravines, rivers, oceans, waterfalls, etc.? What a dull world this would be. Next time, you should just try looking at the shapes of the clouds or the colors of the sunsets. I’m sure it will relax you a bit.
People
It’s absolutely amazing how different people are, and at the same time, how alike we are. Every person is unique from another, but I believe that people, in nature, are somewhat the same. Reading King Leopold’s Ghost strengthened my pessimistic view of humans as avaricious creatures. Although King Leopold II and many other infamous people who have killed and manipulated for their own benefit are extreme examples, I believe that most people would sacrifice their morals for gain.
The value of morals has decreased to an abysmal low. In the past, religion (although some did stray away) and a sense of family kept most people from committing crimes against each other. For example, because more people had stricter discipline when it came to religion in the past, adultery, stealing, etc. were deeds abhorred. However, now, the grip that religion had on our lives, which did limit our freedom in a good way, has become less firm and less people choose to follow their moral sense.
Also, in the past, money wasn’t as necessary as it is today. In today’s society, you can’t go anywhere or do anything without money. If you go out naked, you will be arrested for disrupting the public and fined. In the past, you could live a life of agriculture and not associate with “corporates” at all, and it would be okay; land was plentiful and farming was normal. But now, all kinds of stereotypes and limits hinder one from pursuing a life without society. First of all, you have to get the land, and the expensive equipment and seeds to even begin. Perhaps you could go live in the Amazon or the grasslands and hunt wild animals, but you will probably get sick or hurt in some way.
The main reason why we have become such “unmoral” people is money. As the value of a materialistic wealth grew, the imaginary and individualistic moral sense started to lose its position in the center of human minds. After all, why not discard something that doesn’t exist physically, and buy yourself a mansion?
Think about it, if you had the choice of earning one billion dollars in exchange for the life of one human in some remote part of the world, would you not take it? After all, every minute, tens, if not hundreds, of people die. Would you care for one person in our world of billions? Not many would.
Please leave a comment what you think. I would like to listen to what others think. If you do leave a message, visit back as I will reply to it. Thanks and sorry for not posting recently. Will be on trip soon too.

Sound of Muzak – Porcupine Tree
The Sound of Muzak – Porcupine Tree
Hear the sound of music
Drifting in the aisles
Elevator prozac
Stretching on for miles
The music of the future
Will not entertain
It’s only meant to repress
And neutralise your brain
Soul gets squeezed out
Edges get blunt
Demographic
Gives what you want
Now the sound of music
Comes in silver pills
Engineered to suit you
Building cheaper thrills
The music of rebellion
Makes you wanna rage
But it’s made by millionaires
Who are nearly twice your age
One of the wonders of the world is going down
It’s going down I know
It’s one of the blunders of the world that no-one cares
No-one cares enough
The music of the future
Will not entertain
It’s only meant to repress
And neutralize your brain
