I feel like a lot of my friends have a very negative attitude about things and subsequently want to 'chill' and shut down any deep thoughts or self-progress. Some people are just too worn out to think, I guess. "man used to look up to find his place in the stars but now he only looks down for his place in the dirt." and it's sad. I understand why and I am often the same way... but it's sad. What happened to the fire inside us? Where did our 'muchness' go?
