Generation "Delayed Family"

So a patron of mine asked me if I would get married someday.  I said maybe.  It depends.  Then I realized that it depended on my success.  I have to find success in what I do good.  I don't want to be successful at something other than what I WANT to do good.  Does that make me selfish?  Or does that make me protective?


I think nowadays people get married because they want to.  Before they did it for social status, a better future, a better life.  We have a choice now.  I think most people would choose not to for the sheer fact of less drama.  What does getting married entitle us with?  A lifelong partner.  Is marriage the meaning of having a FUTURE with someone?  Can't we have one without it?  Is a legality issue when it comes to what you get to keep and not to keep?  When does it all just phase out for the better good or the judgment of good?


I know I would delay for the mere fact that I can barely support myself financially and emotionally. How the hell am I to juggle two?  Its a balancing act for sure, but when the dance is all done... its not just two.  Now there's three.  And its not a balancing act anymore -- its a dance routine.



Perform lobotomy

If I could create an antigen to stupidity, I would.  I don't know how I grew more patient every year, but I did.  I think I just grew too tired to fight.  Or perhaps, I learned to fight better.   Getting angry becomes a waste of energy.  And for sure not worth it.  But is that a healthy transgression for the future?

Some of us are lobotomized naturally.  Born abnormally tranquil and sluggish.  Some of us induce ourselves to a lobotomized state with pills, alcohol, hallucinogens or other substances.  I, for one, know I am not born still.  I was born with motors in my brain.  Whatever my brain thinks up, my body follows.  Boredom makes me lazy.  Boredom drives me to ponder.  Even if I appear to be still my mind is racing a mile a minute.

Still I always pose the question why.  Why are people walking in this world like zombies?  Why are they not aware?  Why do they languidly follow the way of the corrupt world?  To be popular?  To be a part of society?  To be "socially" normal?  If you trust the universe doesn't it take care of you?  When you ask for a sign doesn't it give it to you?  Is there something in the chickens we eat that induces us to a lobotomized state of dumbness?  Is going green a social reform or a new wave trend for the millennium?  Are you a victim of social lobotomy?
