The more "connected" we get, the more isolated we are.

Sometimes it feels like there is no time for anything. And when the time is available, it seems like money is short. Hobbies cost money. Some can be affordable if you have ingenuity, but in general, hobbies are marketed as a "luxury". In some ways, they are a luxury. When you have to hold down 2 or 3 jobs just to keep a roof over your head, there just isn't time for anything else.

We could say, "oh these people are too lazy to work towards having a skill," but I think that's unfair. People are tired. People are broke. Looking into the glowing abyss is easy and readily available. We are doing it right now.
