The world...

William Wordsworth once wrote that "the world is too much with us" when referring to how humans behave in the world, and their treatment of nature. He paints a picture of carelessness and and reckless attitude. Bearing in mind it was written in 1888, I would go one further in describing the current status-quo as being applicable to our treatment of each other. It seems we have become so caught up with the ways of the new world, as well as keeping up with said ways, the core values of humanity have started falling between the cracks.

We live in a time whereby violence is second-nature, to the point where the shock value of gruesome crimes has almost worn off. A fast world where each looks out for their own interests, to the point of being at the expense of their fellow man. Ever stop and wonder when and where the interests of the individual started superceding those of the group?! Well I do sometimes, and draw a blank. Either way, a step back to assess ourselves as a society is needed, so as to be able to map a clear path forward into the future. For our sakes, as well as for those who will come after. Champions of the future are us, as those custodians who hold those key seats will not be there for much longer, and someone will be needed to take the reins.

I for one hope the ride won't be bumpy
