21st century

I have always thought that life was about love, getting a husband that you will spend eternity with, having kids in a large house and so on and so forth. Now in the 21st century that is merely a fairy tail we tell ourselves at night to try and survive a day to day life that we fill with hatred, sorrow, and jealousy that we take out on each other every day even if we mean to or not. In the end we are just running ourselves into the ground with our selfishness starting with the regret that sits in your pocket right now that spreads rumors and takes up more of our life than our actual life does and with every generation its getting worse. I try not looking at that phone for a couple of days and found that what I was seeing in people was not what I was expecting they were just robots that didn't even realize your presents when they had that little rectangle box in there hand. I thought I would see something beautiful and inspiring not looking at a screen but all I saw is what our people have become how a five year old would rather play on his i pad than go to the water park when a family member graduates and you congratulate then through text when there standing right there. We do not realize it but times have changed and its just getting worse.
