Something did happen, actually. I grew up. Reality got in the way of my dreams. The people of this world don't want things to get better, not really. They care more about sports and television. They play video games, watch movies, get drunk, party, and generally go about their trivial, pointless lives. Even the people I go to school with, they don't care about much of anything other than money and women/men. There's no passion. People just don't care. This becomes even more clear when you read about the causes that people used to fight and die for. People would give everything they had for what they believed in. People aren't like that, we're artificial now. We don't have anything so important other than ourselves. I know there are always exceptions to the rule, but those are so far and few between. Even when you do see that passion it is typically ridiculed. I want to feel that, but I don't think it exists anymore.

Your comment about being Machiavellian threw me off. Now I'm beginning to understand. And relate maybe. You may have depression but what I think I see also is disillusionment. I agree pretty much w/ your assessment of people
in general and share many of your views. It seems like you may be at a crossroads in life. Wondering if you become immersed in pop culture or become detached or find your place in the world of people who do care yet don't act or become one of the people who care
and act.
My post isn't well thought out because I'm not very focused ATM but I think you will understand what I'm trying to say. I may be seeing this entirely wrong or you may not agree with how I see it... but you understand I think
