I do a lot of thinking about expectations. i guess the truth of the matter is that we all run on expectations. its why everyday we wake up and do the things we do. we dont want to work, we dont want to go to school, we want the end products of those two. it seems ridiculous when you think of it. we spend all of our lives aiming for expectations. we spend all our lives trying to get to that one thing that we want most and at the same time, most of us dont even know what we want. even if you do know what you want will you still want it in a week? month? year? and then if you think on that, what is the point of going after essentially nothing if you dont want to do it?
i guess its a good thing that people try really hard to not connect with whats around them. its good that the average person doesnt worry about the end product, because its all of those self sacrifices that keep this wonderful and beautiful world going.
and for that matter, one last thing i would like to mention today is that in this wonderful world that we live in, there have been people (us) for the last couple thousand years, yet it is in the last 200 years that we have managed to rape the landscape and invent tools to pave the grass away making forests of metal and concrete. how is it that we can put our minds together to create 200 story buildings, bombs the strength of the sun, and a piece of metal with wings that flies around the world, but we cant seem to figure out how not to fuck up the earth anymore? when the car industry asked for bailout, the government should have given it on one condition and that is that by 2011 all cars being produced are 90% clean emissions. its not that hard to do. yeah we cant now, but from august 5 1945 to august 6 1945 we discovered how to kill 140,000 people in less than 3 min 45 seconds. for those 'stumped' manufacturers and scientist i say keep moving.
