You've got the best of both worlds
You're the kind of girl who can take down a man,
And lift him back up again
You are strong but you're needy,
Humble but you're greedy
and based on your body language,
and shoddy cursive I've been reading
Your style is quite selective,
though your mind is rather reckless
Well I guess it just suggests
that this is just what happiness is -- Jason Mraz, "A Beautiful Mess"
I'm having a thought here. In reading for my American culture class, I stumbled across a random footnote suggesting that our society's love of machines and technology is somewhat analogous to our ancestor's relationship to Nature/Fate/the Gods. I have long acknowledged that America more-or-less worships technology, but the parallel is interesting. Is my computer also my Mercury?
Interesting. Many people view technology as the sole factor in heightening the quality of life on Earth. Early people looked to the gods to accomplish these advancements for them, but as knowledge progressed people realized that only they could make their lives better through innovation.
ReplyDeleteI mean, what is technology? Most people don't understand it; only a few fully understand the inner workings, and those people dictate the direction of progression. Like a priest interpreting the will of a god.
