Half of the people I meet during my average week turn out to be bloody snobs. The funny part is they exhibit no unique characteristic whatsoever that entitles or naturally makes them to do so, for e.g. the royals or monarchs. Morning greetings are rare and greetings with smiles are even rarer. Genuine extroverts who once approached you with no hidden malice or agenda are a become extinct. Conversations have been replaced by scrolling text on the dumb smartphones. Facebook likes and pokes amount to the new eye contact. Libraries are modern day dust bowls. Town's social events are loosing attendance in large hoards to TV media who are feeding ever repeating shows and news. Today, we start off by disliking someone and work our way towards liking. When did life become so difficult? Or is it the new fabric of our nature as a species?
And how does one make friends anymore? By joining hallow clubs or meetups void of fun activities or joining those clubs whose only engrossing activity ends up being a drinking orgy around obscure bars? Or by sharing interests that do no carry any weight in living well today, with people we meet randomly.
The sad part is that it is becoming harder for me to stay out of this herd of new species. I feel at times that I spend a lot of my timing fighting this natural evolution and that people like me will be, as Darwin would say "...weeded out".
