Has any one noticed how meaningless our conversations and daily lives have become? We talk just to talk. We have no reason to talk any more other than to fill an empty void.
The same has happened to our music, our theater, our games. They have evolved from feelings that are heard to noise that appeals to our sexual instincts, from the acting of skilled men and women portraying socially controversial situations to cookie cutter romances or adventures, our games developing from thought provoking chess and checkers to stupid things such as "wii bowling".
As much as I enjoy these things, because I do, we are being numbed and stupefied by it. We no longer require skills. Only basic movement. We are being returned to our primitive states as we become more sophisticated. We are losing our ability to think, our ability and right to experience life. And for what? Sure things are simpler, but with this simplicity comes loneliness and a sense of uselessness. How do we prevent life from being taken over by simplicity?
