So today my mom said something that made me think. We were at our neighbors and there were these really nice flowers and she said "it's hard to believe they are real"
Well it's just that about 100 years ago people would be saying, "it's so awesome it has to be real!"
And that made me think. Our world has made everything that is something special and turned it not so special. Like flowers. There are a lot of them that are awesome and the factory people realize that so they make fake ones and soon the flower isn't as cool because you can see it all year long as a fake.
Same princible for a lot of things as well though some different outcomes.
Cell phones. Almost everyone has one(mostly) and they used to be cool and new but now they've made thousands and thousands. With new ones coming out everyweek. Not that I am at all a 'green person(go recylcle type)' but still that is a lot of trash just for cell phones. And some people get a new one every three months just for kicks. Now I understand that people are just trying to make money but still.
Another thing is movies. Some people need to tell them that half the movies they are making are pieces of junk. "oh just put an explosion there and the veiwers will love it" seems to be the new movie making motto.
They (society) have cheapened several things the same.
Love. It's all about that one thing. (you know, the ONE thing) if you have that one thing everything works and that that is the deffinition of love.
Friendship. I think that friendship is also cheapened. Friends today get along with just texting each other. Saying what's up, And then saying "nothing. Friendship is the strongest love I think. There is the marrige type love but that is based on looks as a percentage where as pure friendship has nothing to do with looks. True friend ship is true sacrifice.
Please comment on anything.

Huh...I see your point, but I can't say I agree 100%. I'd say the fact that there are fake flowers, that love has been sexualized by the media, and that friendship has changed with the advent of technology just makes the real thing all more precious. After all, how much more do you appreciate someone who actually does their own gardening and cares about their lawn verses someone who buys fake flowers because they can't keep their own beautiful? How much more valuable is finding your soulmate when so many marriages are based on money or appearances or status or all of the above? How much more amazing is having a best friend who was there when all of your dark moments happened and who will always help you no matter what? It's not like true love is gone because some people just don't know that there is more to life than a reputation; it just means you really have to look for it, and when you find it, it's that much more special. I don't know, that's just my take.
I wrote a reply but it contradicted my main post so yeah I suppose that does make sense.
Thanks for commenting
