I look at the world around me and I'm not sure what to think. James likes watching Glenn Beck, so we hear about issues of national concern, international concern, and some that I'm not sure how they would be classified. I hear things on the news about the state the world is in. Everyone knows that the world is messed up, but sometimes I don't know if we know how messed up.
I look at the world like the game in the picture above. At first it was solid, then, people started playing and taking pieces out. It is getting more and more unstable and eventually, it will topple. What a crash that will be.
Think about it, society just doesn't make much sense anymore, as a whole that is. Parts of it aren't that bad, but overall? Take money, for instance, at one time it stood for something. Now, it is nothing more than a complex barter system and it's merely symbolic. With extra rich and extra poor, it doesn't mean anything, other than someone has more of something that isn't really real than someone else does.

Remember Matt Nickerson and the Humanities class? History repeats itself... I just finished the Book of Mormon again. It only took a little over 400 years for the Nephite civilization to crumble. But there are still some good things about life.
