I'd probably cry....
That was quite the interesting lyric to get me thinking about things.
I have this terrible problem with getting the big picture from little things people do. At Paris the parents tend to give the impression that their students are not as capable as the handicapped students, because they park even closer to the door than the handicapped parking stalls.
Special v. Individual, parents need to take the responsibility for teaching their kids the difference, and the similarities. Even now, someone is complaining that they can't do what they want where they want and how they want.
People who want to live as an individual alone in their own world, are in fact quite humorous, but I don't want to deal with them. Either you can be understanding and accept that you aren't the sole person in the world, or you can be an annoyance to the rest of us. Patton Oswalt has a great stand up about these girls talking on their mobile phone and to each other during a show that they paid for. He heckles them for awhile about how they paid money, that they can't get back, to go somewhere full of people listening just to talk.
I was rolling with laughter when I listened to it.
I'm reminded everyday why I don't actually like this greedy, self-centered, capitalistic culture, that I am forced to deal with.
I do get to find humor in the fact that a book written between 1709 and 1716, had the same problems with societies. The new generation becoming more and more materialistic, and missing out on the importance of other things.
Unfortunately, this is a true systemic failure, in that our society doesn't teach thoroughly values to its members. When many people in the same area aren't on the same page, and people are taught to greet ideas that aren't theirs with hostility, how can we ever hope to pursue a path to a greater society. Especially, when we can't get past ourselves.
