Selfish or Selfless?

I just realized something. People think too much. Why does everyone have to go through life wondering what the meaning of it all is? We should just go through life enjoying it and making the best of it. Who cares what could be done or what happens next? Just go with it!

I have noticed that this pondering has increased over the years, especially with the younger generations. There are almost too many options; too many choices to make. It's confusing!

I look back about 40 years ago when this all began...in the 60s, none the less. Vietnam was underway and the hippies were out protesting for their rights. Rights. Now that's an interesting concept. Considering this is a "free" country, there are quite a few limitations on our rights as Americans. This is where the thinking comes into play. As a "free" country, we can practice whatever religion we want to, go anywhere anytime, speak anyway we want, dress anyway we want, and, like most countries now-a-days, carry a gun if we please.

How many religions are there in the world? It's not cool anymore to just practice the beliefs you were raised on. Oh no! We must all "find ourselves" and figure out what we really believe in; who we really are. The first step is finding a religious belief that fits those needs and wants. But what are we supposed to do now? Organized religion isn't cool anymore either!

And what about free speech? There are tons of limitations on what we can and cannot say. Anyone can go around in public swearing up a storm. Then anyone can sue them just as easily because they were "causing a disturbance" and "misbehaving in front of my young child".

But the thing that pisses me off the most is the fact that every single country in the world always complains about America and what we are doing. Why do you care so much?!?!? Worry about your own country for once. And if you're so concerned, why do you all come here to this "free" country to get away from your own country?

Then they always say how amazing their country is because they "don't do war" and are neutral. Well, here in America, most of us aren't selfish bastards and we care about the well-being of this world. Therefore, we help those in need, meaning we will go to war to help innocent people who are losing their lives on account of other's selfishness. That may be your country one day. Think about it. It's what we all do best.
