This is probably part of the reason why kids are more
A.D.D. than ever. Too many choices on TV, too many video
games, too many extra-curriculars, too many things to
buy. I think all these choices they have to make early
in life makes people fickle. Fickle people are less
likely to commit to a good relationship as an adult.
Adults are divorcing each other left and right because
they get bored with each other and because they refuse
to put any effort into developing a strong foundation
from day one. They are frustrated and argue with each
other and think that it’s grounds for divorce. People
are also just plain selfish. People get tired and
bored with each other because they don’t want to work
at the relationship because of their selfishness. They
have lazy personalities because their ADD or whatever
causes them to give up. People put less and less
effort into all relationships these days. Just look at
IMing and text messaging, that My Space crap, and this
stupid Blog shit. People are less intimate with one
and other. Everything is superficial. Do kids even
hang out with each other anymore?
I realize that this statement is a generalized and
biased but I think there is some truth to it.
I myself have this fickle attention problem (part of
it is inheritance) this makes it hard for me to read
and write or sit still and write this. I’m not even
going to bother editing this article because I’m
multitasking as we speak while my parents watch
“America’s Funniest Animals”. Unfortunately there is
always a screen in front of us, cameras, phones, TV,
computers etc. Too many things to look at. This is why
James and I don’t have a TV. If we did we would never
enjoy simple things with each other like playing music
or cards. It’s bad enough we have a computer that we
both fight over. (we fight over it? ed.) I’m sure someone has a different
opinion on this. Let it out.
