1990 vs 2013



Different times, places, people and definitely a different mentality. Back then everything was more pinkish because everyone was enjoying their lives and nobody cared that much about the technology that has lately laid its hands on us. Not only the technology, but the speed that everything evolved has changed a lot about how people act and think.

We can tap this subject from many points of view, but the one that I like the most is childhood. Before we start I want to say I was born in 1991 and my childhood was great, I loved it and if I could go back in time and do it again, I’d do it no matter what. Whoever lived their childhood in the beginning of ’90s enjoyed life as it should be enjoyed. They didn’t care that much about life ups and downs because they were enjoying them, mixing emotions with feelings, the socialization wasn’t hooked on technology and everybody was friend with everybody. In the present all the kids, even the ones under 15, have to have a mobile phone, they all are using facebook or any else socialization website and they only meet in clubs because now that’s what socializing means for them, all these resulting in less eye to eye contact, so less emotions and feelings. And now I’m asking how can you live your life without these two things that give life true colors?

As a second idea, and now I’m talking about present time, I could say that on this planet are more haters and it’s like they are born this way. With every day that passes I meet at least one person that hates me for what I do, what I am, what I like, etcetera. Maybe it’s the society faults and how it manipulates the youth minds by adding competition between them, but if we let society change the way we think and our resolutions, then, in the end, there will be nothing left for us, the special ones. Besides the faults of the society, I think there is a problem about globalization and how the increased number of individuals affects the available number of jobs and we are back to competition. So, these days we are more competitive and this can make us a little bit haters.

Another thing that makes the difference is the routine which now is clearly a part of our lives. We wake up, we go to work and then we sleep – these are the steps that make our live a routine and there’s nothing else that we do. We work, work and work until our asses are tired enough to do anything else. I agree with the fact that work helps us living but there is a certain amount of people who only work and nothing else. No hobbies, no time spending with friends, no parties, no fun and in this world if you want to keep up you have to both work and have fun.

Also, there are some more things that I’ve noticed. We don’t smile that often, we are sad because we can’t afford the technology that makes us happy ( yes, now technology is what makes us happy ) and  we are more desperate to be liked, not to like.

The only way that we should waste our time is living, enjoying and having fun as much as we can!
