Materialism and Entertainment

Wow. Everyone I know lately has nothing to do. Its sad. We used to have things to do, but we are like in a year slump or something. What should we do? Go to the movie theater! Yay... or lets rent a movie, or lets get drunk. That's getting boring. I think the reason everything seems boring is we feel the need to be uber entertained in our society. We all are entertained every minute of our lives. We are fricken doing homework, watching tv, and listening to the radio at the same time. Or surfing the internet for 80 things, listening to music and whatever else. Always watching tv, playing video games, or movies. There hardly is ever a time we are doing simple things anymore. Some people even listen to the radio or tv when they sleep! We think if we ever do something simple like take a walk or hike or just plain talk we will DIE of boredom. We constantly go out and by shit we don't need for no reason. Except to be entertained for the next few minutes. I think we need to get back to the simpler way we used to live. It seems like God made all kinds of wonderful, yet simple things for us to do, but we are so far away from God and innundated with consumer goods and etertainment we never get to enjoy the real blessings that matter. Like friends, family, pets, and nature. There is so much more to life then just being entertained in the conventional sense, but we never think of it. I think peopled be more happy if they lived a more sparse life, then all kinds of things we never have even thought of doing would be exciting. We need to slow down, and stop thinking we always need to do super stimulated. Maybe go outside and watch a bird for a while or whatever. I am going to try to enjoy the simple life and get rid of the things society values. Ever notice when people try to modify God's idea of life it ends up bad. Like lets introduce these animals here. Bad idea now there is to many of them and they are destroying the environment, or lets make all these cars that pollute the air. Even all these jazzed up foods are bad. They have so many terrible ingredients its not a wonder why everyone is sick. Lets drink water again, and virtually single ingredient foods. Lets literally try to smell the roses a little bit, slow down life, and enjoy the simple things. Then perhaps we wont all be so bored.
