Apathy is one of the biggest problems in our generation. In no way am i trying to imply that i am not one of the millions of people throughout the world who do absolutely nothing. I am one of the worst at it in all actuality. But is there really a way to stop this? Even now as i am typing this i am wasting precious time that could be spent doing something productive, i.e. studying for my economics exam. The only way i see to beating this is through the sheer will to stop, the will to get off our asses and be productive to society, our community, and ourselves.
I may not have much life experience, being only 18 years old, and i may not be a scholar of philosophy or of demography or anything like that, but these are my own personal inferences. People in our modern society expect everything to be handed to us, to be accomplished by someone else as we take credit. There are probably a few million in the US who don't have a job, or care to, because they live off welfare. Their apathy is what drags our country down to the low state it is in, and is teaching a generation that you do not have to help yourself. But i am not placing blame on any one person.
(Sorry if i'm rambling, i get bored) and obesity is another big problem, but no surprise. And people are always looking for a scapegoat because of it, which has led them to aim at the fast food industry. Now in no way am i trying to say that fast food is healthy. It isn't. But it sure tastes good. But one big problem is the compulsive eaters of fast food tend to not work out, or do anything physical, so the fat and calories they intake have nowhere to go and just store in their bodies. So is fast food really the cause of obesity? Or is apathy?
This is my first blog so i'm sorry if i sound like an idiot who is constantly rambling. This is just what happened to be on my mind at the time! i'm sure somewhere down the road other more interesting things will come up.
