Somebody told me today that I like to be challenged...and because that statement is so true I almost couldn't figure out what it was I wanted to blog about "lmao I'm a blogger."
After yesterday's blog I found out that not only do people not care about whats important, but more so, that they just don't care anymore, period. It's not so much that I love being challenged but the fact that I can't stand being bored...my ASS just can't handle it!
I created this blog out of boredom and through boredom I have found a new way to not only challenge myself, but to also challenge the minds of my peers. That, to me is the MOST important thing, as we all exist in this world together. There is a scent in the air now and wherever I go it stinks...it's called "du ignorance es bliss..."
People have become so complacent, so set in their ways that we/they/us haven't been able to self-start, self-motivate, or self-evolve. We say that ignorance is bliss, but should it be? Why is it that people seem to feel so entitled to things that they aren't even willing to work for?
I meet person after person that says to me "thats why I need to get rich." Everyone wants to get rich but nobody wants to work for it.
Old adage time (lmao). As the saying goes "you are what you eat," right? Both males and females have dumbed themselves down to "fit in." A result of this is by not being able to self-start, self-motivate, and self-evolve it has caused them not to challenge themselves, their social circle, or their surroundings.
Me personally I have always been a sole believer in "you were born on your own and your going to die on your own." Regardless of who comes in your life its YOUR life to live. Stop sitting on the sideline and waiting for someone to get you to just do something with yourself!
While we're all out living life, taking chances, and furthering our lives, you're dumbing yourself down to fit in with everyone else. Challenge and surround yourself with those that can challenge you as well. Challenges are good to find out what you are truly capable of.
Side Note: I would like to take this opportunity to answer her question regarding "like a boy" that was left as a comment.
"FOR NOW I JUST HAVE 1 QUESTION, and I'm going to quote you: If "It's not like human beings are monogamous creatures" then why is it that men expect women to be faithful? I mean the last time I checked human beings included men AND women."
See this is where my rhetoric can get me in trouble, so I have to be very careful regarding my response. To be quite honest, we expect women to be faithful due to not accepting "change" as life's only constant. For years men have been the ones that were able to be polygamist. With the shift in time and "blurred roles" we just haven't accepted the fact that you guys are just as grimy as we are...but don't forget it still makes you in our eyes less of a lady.
Which is why a guy like me has to dumb himself down just to be in the game again. We can dish it as men but we damn sure cannot take it. Why the hell would we? Hell, its not our fault that women have put up with it for so long, hell if anything its your faults for letting us become so set in our ways for thousands of years.
I know this is a hypocritical statment considering my blog today but I'm human and I am a hypocrite hence ignorance being bliss when I know it shouldn't, hell that "stench" even reeks on me sometimes. The point is to be mindful, and even when we realize it we still say fuck it...lol...life life!

I don't think it's so much that people don't care but after hearing something over and over again or that topic being constantly shoved in your face you become immune to it, if not annoyed by it all together. It's kinda like with advertisements, we are so bombarded by them that they don't have the same effect as they did say 10 years ago.
People for entitled to things and they don't feel the need to work for it because we, as a human race, are spoiled. I don't know when it happened or how but it did and now we, Generation Y, must pay for it. Because at the end of the day all the lazy people come from OUR generation I mean have you looked around at the elementary and/or high school kids today. WE'RE SCREWED if THEY are our future.
I, too, agree with the you're born by yourself you'll die by yourself philosophy. And I also feel that it's the hyphen, on you're tombstone, that counts for the most. I guess that kind of relates to what you're getting at.
Now for a response to your response. Her..hunh?! That less then a woman comment has me feeling some type of way b/c I feel like you know better then that. And the only thing that makes a woman less then a woman is how she carries herself and handles herself when/while she's doing whatever it is that she's doing.
As for that last comment I can't even be mad at it b/c you're absolutely positively right. However, on the same token, if we didn't do what we did to support you guys where would y'all be today? So I guess on this topic we have to agree to disagree. Oh yea and I resent the you guys comment please correct it to you gals. Thanks.

People have become complacent because there is a lack of motivation in this generation. Older generations had something to work for or fight for, making them appreciate and value opportunities they had. American as a whole is comfy being lazy because it is very easy to do so. There are a plethora of government programs that allow people to now work and still live ok. So there is no drive no self motivation, a lot of people don’t see a reason to do or at least try to do better.
