America, the great country?

Sep 16, 2003 04:07



More like the great country that lacks passion, on the emphasis(IMO) of how lonely people are, and how they have become who they are. I feel america is in the same catagory as lonely people. Im just not sure it comes from being rejected.. unless this country's people feel they are being rejected from other countries. Maybe america feels as though they are the loser country haha. Or maybe htey feel they have been screwed by the system and feel rejected by the system. I think actually its just what weve been brainwashed with, this mindset that we aall need to be accepted in society. Americans portray that well... Anyways.. People get lonely, or whatever feeling it is they get when rejected then they get all angry at everyone else. They arent accepted as who they are, so they tryt o be someone else and just get frustrated for trying to be someone else. Then they get angry at people just because they are putting their front up for others, and not for themselves. They keep the front up in hopes to be accepted. Most people do this, which im sure they do it in many forms. IE materialists in poverty pretending to be rich when they actually have nothing, people getting piercings and tattoos just because the scene they enjoy is like that. Even tho they may not enjoy all that stuff. They want to fit in. If you are focused on being accepted, when will there be time for passion? If people are always putting up a front, how will they ever know who they really are? how can you express yourself if you dont know who you are and what you enjoy, or like. It seems people in foreign countries have more passion than us cause they dont have this mentality or need of being accepted. Well as strongly as americans.

I strongly disagree tho that everyone is like this. Alot of people have passion. Passion isnt meant to be marginalized so So people could find passion in something like their job, or work ethic, working hard. Just as long as its enjoyed and not done for wrong reasons. Its harder to be passionate about those things though.. so majority of the time it seems safe to assume people are only doing those things to get money or to get somewhere else for more money. Does anyone not agree? I want input!

Teenagers or adults? It seems to be teenagers and younger people who lack passion, they are still trying to understand the concept of time and they dont yet understand how long they really have to live, nor whats important. They dont understand how important passion is, and how it can basically complete you. Im not sure im able to explain what passion means to me, im not sure i want to be conscious of it either. Unlike an adult they have only lived for 18 or so years, im not really sure you can grasp it that easily when youve only lived 1/3 the life of someone who does understand it. I think that may be why adults have passion more often, or develop one easier. They find it easier to focus on whats important, if passion is important. Some people may have materials instead, which is fine, their choice yes? Doesnt mean i think its ok, but everyone chooses. I may just be speaking about becoming more focused. Some people also have no idea that they are passionate about whatever their passion may be, so that excludes people that are supposed they have no passion because when they are asked what they are passionate about they say "i dont know". Its all about having an understanding and being decisive. Im gonna end this, im starting to sound like a self help book.

SO I guess with all this said, i need to know.. is focus a form of weak passion? or is it passion? is it NO where near passion?
