Why is it that everything has to be so extreme?  For example, we say, “I love this, I love that,” Or, “Oh I just hate that about him,” See what I mean?  Do we overuse those words?  I think so.  I mean, give me a break, when we like some cereal we are eating, and we say we “love” that cereal, we aren’t really in love with it.  That’s one thing that’s always puzzled me.  It’s almost like we can’t get anything across anymore without going to the extreme.  And what’s with the world?  Why does everyone seem to grow bitter as time goes on?  I remember as a child, people seemed to be a lot happier.  I would look at people in the store, or wherever we were, and they would smile.  Maybe that’s because I was a kid, but I mean still.  Everyone has just gone bitter.  Perhaps it was just that, as a child, we didn’t notice the hardships in the world, because we were concerned with our candy and toys? 

You know I’ll tell you, lately I’ve realized that everyone thinks it’s a “me,” world, does that make sense?  Everyone seems to be selfish.  And heck, I’m even guilty of it, and you are too.  We all seem to have this mentality that the world revolves around us, even if you think you’re a “selfless” person.  Now don’t get me wrong, there are some really good people out there, but it just seems to be programmed in us to think that everything that happens is just because of us.  Ever heard the philosophical theory that everything in our life is a figment of our imagination?  Definitely an interesting thought.  Don’t get me wrong, I don’t buy into it, but you can’t deny the fact that it’s something intriguing to think about.  

I was reading a random philosophy blog the other day, and it said something else quite interesting.  He claimed that in his opinion, human errors are only a way of preventing future errors that are larger.  Mind you, preventing errors that we knew we would make.  That’s interesting.  Of course any philosophical statement is, but none of it can be proved, that’s the problem.  It’s all theories.  Think about that, so many people have Master Degrees and Doctorates on just theories.  Not that I look down on people that have those type degrees, it just amazes me.
