Do I Ever.....

Do I ever get a break? Do I ever get what I want, when I want it? Do I ever get to be where I want to be, instead of where I am? Do I ever?.... Its a question!!!!
Its thoughts like these that give me wishful thinking. I want to be... But how do I get there? Life can be so busy sometimes that I have to sacrifice things in order to be with people I want, go where I want to, or act how I want. Sometimes I get in trouble for the things I sacrifice but then I have to ask myself... Was it worth it?
society today is so demanding... We have become a world of convenience and speed. We can go where we want, do what we want and act how we want, without inconvenience ourselves. We as a society have forgotten that things take time. A child does not become a man in a day. We move so fast that we lose track of this time, so that it does seem like a child becomes a man in a day. When we want something we want it NOW, not in three days, but NOW!!!!! We want it while we wait. Ever notice while you wait in line that people are impatient to get what they want and go on. Its amazing. We as a society can not sit still for one minute. As you sit in History class its seems like the middle ages and the age of monarchs takes forever to learn. But when you get to the mid-1800's and on it takes no time at all. Ever wonder why that is? There are many causes but the main motive was to convenience the world. Moral standards, chivalry, and responsibility have been sacrificed for the things the world wants most. Then we ask the world....Was it worth it? But we never get a straight answer.
Do you want to be like the world? I know I don't. I want to think for myself. I enjoy sitting back and doing a craft or reading a book. Now I am not saying I want to ride in wagons everywhere, I will embrace some of the worlds convenience. But I am not going to let it rule me. Will you?
