Reading the Prophet: It seems like everything so far on love, giving, eating and drinking is a wonderful practice and guidelines for people to consider. But they don't. Nobody that has it is grateful for food anymore. Marriage is torn apart because of intolerance, and are too overprotective of their children, repeating the process of inability to work out the problems rationally. So they replace their parents with MTV and Seventeen magazine, Sex in the City and Fergie. Humans used to be in a sea of emotion and thought, but are now stuck in airplanes, only seeing the top of the ocean, with the barest thought and comprehension. And only a few of us are willing to fuck the lifejacket and jump off the plane.

In theory, so many things are good, and what Kahlil Gibran says is the best of it all. But it doesn't seem to matter anymore. It's all been lost in the ocean.
