Random Thought: 101

Originally, I sat here thinking roughly for five to ten minutes about something to write about...
First, I thought I would describe the way the LORD is moving in the hearts of people in our church, as it has been pretty revolutionary and is seemingly already having an impact on our lives. Too personal right now, I thought; I don't think anyone would care.
Second, I thought I could pass off a potpourri of words as a constructed means of allowing others to visualize my thought process; you know, something along the lines of, "Potato salad, tartar sauce, Simon Cowell, or how I love Ellen Degeneres", you know, just a slew of random things. Perhaps a bit too awkward; and as before, no one would care.
So then, I pondered the result of meshing the two: a civilized means of discussing random things that came to my mind and the hearts of people. It holds weight AND is interesting to read!
The above equation produced the solution, which is the following...
I am having trouble relating to society and the thought processes of the people within it. I dislike it so much, I wish to associate it with a word more powerful than dislike.
The society we live in today is annoying me in the sense that almost everything is a double standard. Do I sound like I am ranting? (Irony?)
I think the way I would choose to put it is that I loathe the ways of the world we all live in today; the ideology, the way we act and conduct ourselves, and yet, my Jesus says that I am supposed to be a light in it.
I am twenty-eight years old. I think it may be biased for me to say the above at such a young age. Some may dare to say I am closed-minded, seeing as I am basing my opinion on such a short span of life. I think the opposite. I think this world would be a better place if people saw things the way I see them, if they thought the way I thought, or felt how I felt. Will this ever happen? Probably not. Cultures thrive upon all of their members being different. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't wise up to certain things. Okay, now you probably think I am on the verge, if not entirely, sounding arrogant. I am trying to be sarcastic, that's the point.
Therefore, tonight I shall begin a series of short writings based on what is going on in my head. Tonight, will be Chapter 1 in said series, and will discuss love in modern society.
Ahem, here goes...
Being young, I have become accustomed to witnessing much regarding the dating scene, and becoming observant of the other gender, and also how we deal with them, how they think, etc. I notice these things more in others now that I am happily married. I think most would agree with saying that modern society has corrupted the term "love".
I do not advocate saying the word love when you don't mean it, yet some frequent its use. It doesn't make sense to me. On a daily basis, I see teenage sweethearts professing their love and making irresponsible choices and "throwing their lives away". For example, getting a divorce because they got married too young, children having children, etc. Such immaturity is pitiful, and it is a shame that it happens. However, the problem with modern society is that it isn't just the teenagers acting irresponsible anymore, it is adults too. Modern society endorses and promotes promiscuity and irresponsibility to the point where words like love, sex, and marriage have lost their meaning, and have been devalued to just another word in the dictionary. I think what corrupts the world so much is that individuals allow this ideology to continue, mostly by participation.
I also believe that most of this irresponsibility is derived from the modern media. The way we are influenced is done in such a way that it allows such behavior to become socially accepted, and almost inherently become the norm. People have lost touch with the way they used to be able to think for themselves, and instead are told how to think, and the sad thing is that it works. We are constantly being indoctrinated.
Essentially, what I am saying is we need to change our thought processes, for the betterment of others and for society in general. If we continue on the way we have been, we will be perpetuating this madness into a state of idiocracy, and it would be a shame.
I apologize for not being linear, and not even really finishing. I will finish when I have more time.
For now, I am tired of looking at the keyboard and I am still not sure if anyone cares that I think this way.
