Due to a recent request by one of my very good friends, I shall at last be benignus enough to update this long-depopularised media form.
Pathetic, if you ask me, that humans keep finding ways to save time and make everything they do as short as possible so they can cram all the numerous things that distracts them from actually sitting down peacefully and reading a nice thick novel with Ovaltine and blankets. Milo, if you prefer. But that's not really the point here.
And, of course, being the fair, just and totally objective person that I am, I am not pointing fingers at anyone... other than myself I guess. It's a really awful habit. Whenever I make up my mind to study hard, I will turn to something else within 15 minutes, if not less.
Books, games, food... Woefully more interesting things than studying.
Gosh, I am certain I have digressed from my actual plan.
....Long-forgotten, so it seems.
But don't you fret.
Let me continue.
So what has reading books and playing games and having a total lack of time management got to do with Blogger getting out of date, you may ask?
Well, simply put in layman terms, simplified and succinctly written for your reading pleasure; people are getting lazier. It's a worldwide phenomenon. People now regard writing long passages as a waste of time. So what do they do? They invented a media form that INSISTS you stick to an incredibly limited word limit. Ridiculous, preposterous, critics say- me included. Well, whoever came up with this idea clearly did his research and found humans' fatal flaw. Laziness.
I loathe it, yet I am guilty of it. Y'know, there are just some days where you can't seem to want to do anything other than lounge around the house watching TV and snacking? And the idea of studying when you have free time is practical and sensible, but so unappealing. I blame human nature. If we could find an easier way out, we would.
Like, how no one is willing to hike fifteen kilometres to get muddy water out of a dirt well?
Or wake up at 4am just to walk ten kilometres to school? And not complain? I bet you one million dollars that no one in their right mind would do this.
And some people even have their groceries ordered over the phone and have them delivered to their house, never mind the extra charge and the fact that they could easily have walked two blocks down to the supermarket.
....Sigh, epitome of laziness.
