Suicide from the Ivory Tower





The "Ivory Tower" has existed from the beginning of time. Some people hide in the tower and refuse to face the world. For them, it is a shelter from reality and escape from the "everyday" of life. Up there you can hide your head under a satin pillow and wish the world were different.


Seeing the changes in society over the last 50 years has been amazing. Here is my list of changes we can no longer ignore.


1. People are acting more entitled than ever to everything. Earning things is no longer something to achieve. Instant satisfaction is the key. We want it all yesterday!


2. The true English language not longer exists. We tweet and text our everyday communications. No face to face or voice to voice. Cursive writing has been removed from most schools across the country.Students will electronically sign documents.


3. There is a name for every illness and behavior. Good ,bad or indifferent ...... Enough said!


4.There was an era where you just accepted yourself. Now, no way.... You have to be societies version of perfect. This of course requires plastic surgery,makeup, teeth whitening, fake tan, hair color and working out like a Drill Sargent. Our desires do not don't resemble anything that occurs in natural form.


5. People have become fat and lazy. If you really question this,look at a Walmart parking lot around noon on Saturday. Just sit there and watch the people. Since I know you won't do that......Watch the video below.....
