Today...

Times have changed. Its obvious that the changing world will effect the people and their lifestyle. But shouldn't it be in a good way? What I'm trying to say is, today transport has become much more efficient with the invention of motor bikes, cars, boats and planes. Work has become a single hand strategy with the birth of computers. Mobile phones and the internet has sprouted new life into communication. But the most recognizable change I noticed was the difference in people then and now. Hair styles, clothing and the whole out burst of fashion disaster's not a problem in my point of view because a persons personality and attitude outlines his or her life style more than anything. A considerable amount of change can be noticed in the life style of teenagers and adults all the same.

For example, most of the teenagers today want to be the center of attention no matter what the cost is; drugs, drinking, smoking, having un-protected sex for money, you just name it and they'll do it. I don't know whats hit them. Fathers and mothers of today give a higher priority to work and friends more than their children. The rich use money to buy power, enslaving the poor and picking the mickey out of them for just no reason. Tears in ones eye become the laughter and joy of the other. Back stabbing a friend ain't a problem if you get what you want. Having multi girl friends and boyfriends for time pass is the new hobby most recently discovered by the youth. Respect is out of the question. What the hell is wrong with these people?

When I used to be in grade school, I always thought that the modernization of the world would dawn an era of happiness, prosperity and peace. But everything's upside down. Political wars, corruption, bloody fights, the lust for power and hunger for money. I just don't understand why...Am I right to judge the community like this or is there a reason why they do what they do?
