True, at the local level you're more likely to find someone who isn't woring themselves out 24/7.
Depressed? Not seriously.
I think disgusted is a good word.
Ah, was kind of curious about what stage you were at.
Another truth. As a whole, people are too stupid to have a real functional democracy. People really don't want to make choices. They want a King. Maybe that king changes faces and parties, but a King nonetheless. Maybe it's in the genes, us being a social species with dominant and submissive roles. Kind of like dogs. Dogs are more loyal though.
Heh...I suspect that unless you regain your, err, 'faith' in humanity, you're not more than a few years from apathy. Eventually you'll get tired of being disgusted, and, well, I suspect you know what happens after that.
Or am I reading to much into you posts?![]()
Heh probably. Funny thing though. It is said Truth is Beauty, but at times it's an ugly bastard no one wants to claim
I think as I get older I tend to view things with historical context thrown in.
Supposedly Ho Chi Min (could be wrong here) was asked in an interview what he thought of the French Revolution. His answer was "It's too soon to tell".
I don't know if it's true, but I understand what he means.
Anyway, time will tell, right?
