| You may notice more and more entries from me in the near future, due to my ever increasing state of isolation. Every single day human interaction dwindles, and I start to think more and more and more and.... in a beautiful yet tragic sort of way. Sorry if I sound a little melodramatic. I realized today, how lonely the world is, and how it isn't getting any better. I stood at the bus stop waiting inside that little shelter contraption, due to the drizzely rain and there were probably 9 people crammed in there, with maybe enough room to just put your hands on your hips, elbows out. We were all in this little 3 by 9ft (approx.) space, and noone said a word. There are so many things out there to talk about, even saying hello would have been fine, or "its a shitty night out there don't you think?" We stood there for 15 minutes or more and not one word. It was surreal and it freaked me out. The thought that humanity had come to that point where people are near one another, yet so far apart and withdrawn that they cant even communicate in the smallest most miniscule way. Not even a smile, or eye contact. It was like they purposely avoided acknowledging each other. Is it selfishness and self involvement? Pride or maybe fear? Not that I did my part to make it any better mind you. Next time maybe I shall! The beginning of at least a one person change. Im not trying to save the world, though it would be nice. Anyhow, the bus comes, and we board it. Still silence. About 25 people in one room basically, no conversation whatsoever. I had the strongest urge to speak up and say, "Hey, I was wondering if anyone else found it strange that we're all sitting here together like robots in silence, each wollowing in our own thoughts, contemplating how lonely our lives are, when there are people with the same issues right beside us. Yet we can't even open our minds enough to be there for one another?" But I would have looked like a real ass. Maybe thats what everyones fear is nowadays. What a pathetic world we live in. Im off to try and make the most of it. You'll be hearing from me again. Silence is dangerous... |
