Twentieth Century Image

What exactly is the "American Dream"? To be brought up in a nice suburban home with Parents who love each other and will give up anything for their children. Go to church every Sunday, Get good grades and be accepted into a five star college. Go to school, get a degree so you can get a nice job so you can pay for shit you don't need. Eventually buy a house in a nice quiet neighborhood. A wife, white picket fence, two children a dog. Well I say fuck that.

Today's society is forced to believe this is what you SHOULD do and make you believe that if you don't succeed at this you don't succeed in life. Life passes most people by when their busy making grand plans for it. What are you gonna do tomorrow, this weekend, after College, in ten years? In reality the real question is what the hell are you doing now.

People spend countless hours and thousands of dollars in order to create this "Image" of themselves that make them feel good and special. Clothes, shoes, etc. They spend their whole life trying to perfect there idea of what they feel society will accept them as. The way they walk, talk, what music they listen to, what kind of car they drive, everything and anything in order to be accepted. Some people can only feel good and get a laugh if they make fun of people and make them feel like shit. People say it is better to be hated then loved. It has gotten to the point where all I can see on a daily bases is nothing but fake.

I can't help but to have this negative attitude towards these people and this society. It seems like every single person puts up this fake ass image of themselves in order to be liked and accepted. In reality, I believe it's not what you do, but it's who you are.

Live true to yourself.

"Some of us pursue perfection and virtue and if we're lucky we catch up to it, but happiness cannot be pursued. It either comes to you or it don't. You can always say if only this or only that, but IF ONLY is a state of mind that we get into when we feel deprived".

Bob Dylan
