Live your life

[ZenitYerkes]

It's sad to see my youngest brother, an eight-year-old boy who could spend all day long swimming in the pool (and every time I bring him there he does have a good time), or running from one side to another with his friends; stay sat in the typical position a fat, sweating single watching the football match while handling in his right hand a bottle of beer would adopt -instead of drinking beer, he takes a glass of Coke, hey. Watching Disney Channel, or Cartoon Network, or any other channel showing cartoons; he could even stay with the stupidest educative show just because "there's nothing better to do".

It's way too sad; when I was 8 I remember playing with all my toys at the same time and then trying to make my sister clean up the mess.

"Aren't we actually just staring at other's lives, instead of living ours?"

It's a random thought I had while passing by the living room, yet it reflects exactly what we're living up to.

We can't do without knowing what happened to this or that character in today's chapter, or what our friends did via Twitter or Facebook (ironically, best profiles are always from people who spend no longer than one or two hours a day on the PC). We're bored to death if we don't play a videogame or chat with our friends or simply strangers.

And at the end of the day, if we asked ourselves what have we done today...

PS: I know some people will say they aren't this way, but I just state the facts I see around me. Society in general is turning into this.

I wouldn't be surprised if we ended up having a Surrogates-like world.
