Passive Living

by Justin Steckbauer on February 25th, 2008

Look at us! 300 million people with their heads underground. It feels like we’re rutted somewhere in our progressions. Something we only had when we were young.
I feel.. Brainwashed by this way of life. And it’s like I’m one of the minority in even daring to question how society operates.
Is this really the right way?
Why doesn’t anyone seem to care much anymore?
Every time I leave my house I’m just dodging zombies! Their most creative thoughts relate to television shows or a night with the liquor.
If you don’t care as a kid what happens when you grow up? Coma? Your realm goes no further than the job or you work and the people you hump.
Have we swirled ourselves into passive existence? Something sounds ugly so we ignore it.. Sit back and find ways to burn time.
Passive existence is a tragedy. A human life is such a precious thing to waste, don’t you think?

No time is wasted when you’ve wasted all your time?

Let’s drown in triviality.

All day.

Everyday.
