They’ll Always Be The Same
Tagged as: Apr 18Because of computers, life has changed over the years. They hold the promise of many things. Quicker processing, automated functions, extensive memory are just a few of the available positives of them. While they have changed and are continuing to change, people do not change quite as much. Sure we change because now we know how to find things online whilst 20 years ago the common person did not. However, the very essence of people will not change. Take today for example.
In an article that I read, we see just how people do not change.
- Hundreds of years ago, the roads must have been clogged with people traveling by foot/horse to get to the local magistrate to pay their taxes.
- Years ago, the post office was jam packed with lines out the door as people stood in line to mail their taxes.
- Today (figuratively, yesterday literally) countless people try to file their taxes in the hours before the tax deadline and clog up the servers.
It is amusing to see that people will truly not change. If they can do things faster then do they finish them faster? No, they wait to start it later. People never learn. We truly are running around in circles and simply staying in the same place. Boy, we must be dizzy by now.
haha very interesting thought, derekson!! what is wrong with us??
@tiff
I’m not really sure what’s wrong with us. I mean it is, I suppose, just human nature to not change too much. I have a hunch that there will never be a pandemic change. But individually we can all try to make changes in our own lives, can’t we? And I think therein lies the application of the ideas in this post.
i just got my tax refund. oh how i’m glad i’m not one of these people. yay. but i am one of the many during xmas season to be pushing my way through the crowds.

I originally edited your name, but since you like it so much I edited the original to also display “mat is awesome.” Haha so are you saying that you are simply one of the herd?
