What is the true meaning of independence? Humans, especially Americans nowadays, seem to be quite dependent on several things; grocery stores, the male dynamic, makeup, and technology. Humans who claim to be self-sufficient are just scratching their name into the dirt for the aliens to find them. No wonder they want to take over our planet: we'd be nothing without the highly advanced society we've built ourselves into! Now, I don't mean to take this into a rant-style form of writing, but there is a time when one must realize just how many things they take for granted in a single period of twenty four hours. Say your shower stopped running water, and wouldn't be fixed for an entire week; would you find a clean spring to wash yourself in, forget showering altogether, or wash yourself in the sink instead? See, these "lunatic examples," if you will, are out of this world for we humans...well, those of us with first-world problems, anyway. But if one were to stop and think just what we would do without the social niceties of our comfortable homes and families, and put aside the problems we deem necessary, we would see that the sheer notion of survival is packed up into a two by four inch plastic computer-chip filled device; a sad thought to be devoured.
My question of the day would be: what would you be without this era's technology, housing, money, etc.?
Without this era's technology I would be awesome. Insulated Lacrosse boots and a Cold Steel knife :)
ReplyDeleteI think you're missing the point. Without technology, you wouldn't have insulation or the leather for those boots; you'd have to have skinned a buffalo or whatever for yourself (though you could probably do that), and the steel doesn't exactly come from the earth, so you might have a sharp stone!
ReplyDeleteHa! Your wrong twice! I already have the boots and knife so I wouldn't have to skin a buffalo! Plus I understood the point, I just decided to respond in a stupid manner ;)
