I might as well....

I've always had a need to write, but a will was usually non-existant. So goes the current state of this 'blog', if you can even give it that distinction.

I try.

Unfortunately, I still, none the less, fail greatly when it comes to producing something of worth, while doin such consitently. There are so many factors on what drives us and how we will recact in an infinate number of situations. I, aslo, fail to realize any of them. And so continue on to exploring this world, and mainly this society, and not to drag this on to far, myself. We constantly will learn throughout our lives, and will have revelations on revelations, and need to be open to that growth and necesity of education throughout our entire lives. I, of all things that I do, try to adhere to this policy above all. Because what are we if we dont learn, thus, evolve. We would be the same from that which we came, and how far has this society come since believed beginning of man, wherever your own may lie. And that is why I have stuck with that principle.

However, the notion of my entire 'blog',again, I use that term loosely, is of production vs. consumption. Because 90% of my believed part of the world that would ever stumble or come across this 'blog' would be American; these 'believed' statistics that I mention obvioulsy are in the process and have been in said process of lessening the digital divide that was created due to this very much class-filled world. Nonetheless, this divide was created, that is as the sharp rise of globalization increases, so does this 'digital divide'.

So, back to the 90%; us, as Americans, and many other highly industrialized nation, in a general sense, consume much more than they produce. Many pick careers which can categorize themselves as producers, but outside of that, produce very little. And, depending on the career, and the 'product', they do not fulfill the necessary part of society that one in their position, as a member, must be able to, to make a 'more-perfect union', but that thought was not created to be a dream, but what was and should be.

Our lives have stood in the way of this growth as a society, and more so, as individuals. For a while, as is with any great society, the rise within grows exponentially, and in what is most definately not a quantifiable rate. But, can this growth last forever? Great nations have fallen throughout time, in many circumstances and points throughout the world. So, is it naive to believe that we, as Americans could fall, or should it not even be a question, a thought, and even a possibility. Well, as our society has fallen, and continues to nose dive due to the greed and wealth of many.

I'm getting off point; but with any prose I put out there, in any format, I tend to wander. Thus is more interesting writing for myself, and most undoubtebly, more confusing to have to read and putting meaning to.

I only put the idea of American society, probably because thats mainly all that I know, outside a four month stint in a Latin society, which is hardly enough time to create a knowledge base of a culture, especially with a hard fought language barrier. But the idea of us, as Americans, and producing our means, or at least producing to levels of our consumption, is, as a whole, a common and unseen problem of where we reside. I only bring up the point of our consumption because the satisfaction I receive in life is more from the production that consumption side of things. Sure, consumption gives us instant gratification, but the longer and more beneficial, to us as individuals and members of society, is the production, as levels of our product are raised and so is the level of our self, whether that be happiness, self-esteem, or satisfaction, however you were to word it.

Time calls as a stop to my production, a concept I, as can be read throughout this 'blog', struggle with, in terms of defining, and enacting within my own life. But that is what can be learned throughout writing, a better understanding, maybe not a full one, but a better one.
