It's rather the community and life situation we have today... Sure, I can be outside, experience the beauty of Earth... but once I get back, I get reminded of the harsh reality. As I said in my OP, the sense of community... where everyone around you, every day, are persons you can share your life with... it's not present in modern society.

And I mean... what happens i the future? Will I get a repetitive job, do the same things every day..? What am I striving to accomplish right now?

I mean...I don't want to live like this... it isn't my home - it feels like I don't belong here...
This.

I see a lot of replies of people saying "take a walk" or "go camp somewhere," but the only problem with that is that, when it's over, we're all still back in our old jobs, our old schools, the old 9-5s, the old offices, and when we run out of vacation time at work, no more vacations. Why can't we live the way we want to live everyday, not just for a little while? Why are we forced to do what the world wants us to do, even when we don't want to? If we are all going to die our own deaths one day, why the hell can't we live our own lives?

Why can't people embrace their untamed spirits, the way the Na'vi do? Why do we feel the need to repress and chain ourselves into modern society?

I swear, this makes me so angry sometimes. I was watching the news about riots in Greece, and part of me wanted them to overthrow the government.

"Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy **** we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off." - Tyler Durden
