The seeds of division
We are in unprecedented times, at least I can say that for myself because this is a moment in time when I am no longer certain of where right and wrong are. In the past it was pretty clear to tell what right was and where wrong began because those pushing them forward were pretty clear about which side they stood on. But in recent times, I won’t say that the wrong side has become right, but rather the right side has become a lot wrong.

Void of all emotions
There are people capable of looking you in the eyes, crying to you with all their heart and still betray you at the end of the day. Even while appealing to your humanity, even while begging you on their knees and making you all sorts of promises, they will still deliberately choose to stab you in the back.

Life can get boring
I don’t remember a time when I was bored out of my mind for over an hour. It certainly happens from time to time, but really never lasts long enough to be concerning. Either I’ll fall asleep or I’ll just get something productive to do with my time, but never do I let myself sink into boredom for too long. This time around my life didn’t get boring but I kind of saw that in the lives of others. I saw some people not know what to do of their day and basically waste countless hours of their time doing something they were not interested in.

Alone with my thoughts
In the world today there are so many distractions, and we have a well-equipped distraction box at all times in our pockets called our smartphones with no shortage of material to keep us distracted and entertained. This has made it such that we rarely find ourselves alone with our thoughts anymore, we are never alone with just ourselves. Anytime you feel like you are alone, you just turn on the Internet, and suddenly you are surrounded by a crowd, there is now so much to do and pretty much an unlimited sea of information to take in.

Is the problem leadership
With all the challenges that we face in our society today. From the increasing disparities in wealth right up to the necessities which are still very much lacking, I wonder if the problem is leadership or at least how much of it can be blamed on it. Generally in society, there is an expectation for the government to be the solution provider to every single concern which might be happening in a country. You also have businesses which come up to solve most or at least some of these issues but isn't this approach flawed?

The Lies we say to ourselves
I think sometimes reality is harder than what we would want it to be, in these instances we prefer lies to the truth or even reality. We would prefer to convince ourselves that a lie is the truth, simply because we can’t face the facts of that reality.

Listening to the data
The truth often depends on the angle from which you are looking at things. In some instances the truth is based on the facts of the situation, in another instance it is based on the feelings of the persons, yet again in another instance it comes down to the timing of everything. This is to say that the truth is very much subjective and based on the person saying it, I know that this can’t be a general statement, but I say it because it happens so often I’ve gotten numb to it all.
