Fools

Sometimes you just stop and realize that you completely forgot what it was all about. Because the thing is, nobody cares about your hot girlfriend or your new sports car or the shiny $500 gadget in your pocket that's not only a phone and an MP3 player but also has the internet. You already knew that nobody else really gives a damn. But that didn't stop you from acquiring every over-advertised, over-priced, over-hyped status symbol in the book.

Moments like these, it really hits you that none of it matters. People always say that money can't buy you happiness. It's one of the things that parents always try to teach their children when they're young and asking for toys, then again when they're teenagers begging for money or the latest clothes. And despite all of the emphasis on this, here we are again...watching the children who were raised this way working only so that they can get the next status symbol and convince everyone else that they're happy with their lives.

We're all such damn fools. We all know this, we see it every day, and sometimes we even go so far as to mock it. Better yet, we live it. Every single one of us is a hypocrite for having commented on their disinterest in status symbols and demonstrations of wealth, yet all of us have also sought those same things in our lives. We've all wanted money, cool gadgets, people who seem (and even some that are) close to us.

I don't know what my point here is. It's no big secret that the human race is full of hypocrites and idiots, if not comprised of them entirely. I just sat down and figured that I should start writing. So I did, and this is what came out. I still don't really have much of anything good to write about that anybody would want to read...maybe later today or tomorrow. I'm just really tired right now, and have absolutely no idea what's going on in my mind. Sorry.
