Connected
Since my arrival on the internet, I’ve become connected. With a little bit of work, anything I could want to know is at my fingertips. I can know as little or as much as I want to know about the world around me.
I’m generally not interested in “Current Events”. Politics, war, death, celebrities, I really could give a shit about. There’s this deluge of things that don’t really make any difference in my day to day life, that some agency feels I should know about. I try to stay up during elections about who stands where on issues, but with the current state in that field, how they stand during election usually doesn’t reflect how they’ll act in office.
The fatalist in me says that we’re all going to die anyway some day, so who cares about all the crap we’re inundated with every day. The responsible adult in me says that I should care, if not for myself, then for the generations of people that will come after me.
I just want to hide under a rock, and know that that will benefit no-one, especially myself.
